I asked about that once at Burger King, and they said there's a sink for employees in the back....Of course, that doesn't keep their germs off the doorknob, after I've already washed my hands.

Life hack tip: In that scenario, if the place uses paper towels to dry your hands, wash your hands, dry them, and don't throw the paper towel away just yet. Grab the handle with the towel, prop the door open with your foot, and throw the towel away. I do that even when I don't see people in the bathroom cause I know tons of dudes don't wash their hands.

I do that, or use my shirt or sleeve.

I have been in the healthcare industry, primarily hospitals, for 30 years and have learned tons about infection control and pathogen transmission. One thing I tell folks is to not worry about others washing their hands and treat all environments and co-occupants the exact way.

Case in point: a guy goes into a restroom and thoroughly washes their hands. Heck, they wash their hands like a surgeon would before an operation but they sneeze or cough before leaving the restroom. Guess what? The guy followed protocol and the restroom may look like the cleanest place on earth but neither may matter.

Certain types of germs--bacteria, viruses, etc.--can be transmitted via water droplets and live outside the body for brief or even extended periods. Contaminated surfaces could be anything and anywhere, so always practice safe protocols like you are already doing no matter what the situation.

I am not sure if this counts as karma or not but last week the turnstile to enter the facility where I work went out with the highest ranking person(Executive VP of a global company) to ever visit our site stuck in it. He could not go forward or backward. We had to call our maintenance department to partially disassemble it to get him out. :muttley:

The turnstile never gave any indication there was something wrong with it prior to just getting stuck. I would think it might have been sabotage but there was no way to predict it would stop specifically with this guy in it. We have a new one on order now.

Things happen because odds are everything that can happen will happen at some point.

When I was married, I knew that each day, I had to set aside 45 to an hour, to listen to her tell me about all the insignificant little details of her day; things like how her new teller's boyfriend's nephew's girlfriend's mother's car got scratched in her driveway.

Then she'd ask how my day was, and I'd say, "I don't wanna relive it, now that I'm home, relaxing."
Your answer will get you divorced!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Getting married is about secks.

Staying married is about tolerating and..........well, staying away from each other!!!!!
Oh, we stayed away from each other just fine, and that's when I lost interest...but enough about me, how's the kids?...and the lambs?

Why is it? That after 3-4 days of drinking nothing but bourbon and/or water that the very first sip from a soft drink at a fast food joint goes down like a swig of industrial strength floor cleaner?

*how do people swill this ****o_O

They do it when they're sober, I think. That's what I heard once, anyway.

Why is it? I can have a poop in my home bathroom and I will be a stealth bomber,but in a public bathroom with others, I am like my own complete band making every conceivable fart noise that totally embarrasses me?

Why is it continued from above. I will be in that public bathroom stall and the other guy will get done and I have been holding back so they can leave.I can hear them wash their hands BUT THEY WILL NOT LEAVE AND STAY IN THERE UNTIL I AM A FART MACHINE. It is like they know and will not leave.


Why is it? I could have a 10 full rolls of paper in the toliet with me and my poop will come nice and dry. I go to a bathroom stall that has maybe like 2 sheets before it's empty on the only roll, and my poop will be the nastiness runny glob ever and I am trying my best to get it all off of me.

Why is it? I have been constipated for days and this poop is going to hurt like I am in labor to get out. I finally get it out.Why do I always have to look at this turd??? It's like I have been in an Epic Battle with this monster. What am I going to do take pictures of it and mount it on a wall like it was a large mouth bass I caught or something??

I actually finished up one time, and there was one...single...sheet. I was ready to freak, but somehow, I would've been okay, even if there was none. It's like buying a snack and having - to the penny - the exact amount you need.

It's a good idea to check the condition of your stools, especially when constipated.

Why is it, I think old people run around the local mall before it opens,so they can get all warmed and jazzed up so they can annoy everyone by taking all the benches and chairs throughout the mall to sit in for the day. So they can sprung on some poor unsuspecting soul their entire life and won't shut up until that person tries to escape as fast as possible to the mall parking lot and leave and never come back?
