Title: Public restrooms, icky?

Here\'s a little survey:

Bizarre Bathroom Tricks People Use To Avoid Germs

ROSWELL, Ga. (Wireless Flash) -- "The Foot Flush" and "The Elbow Grip" may sound like bizarre new dance steps but they\'re actually the methods many germophobes use to avoid touching public toilets.

According to a new survey by Kimberly-Clark, 8 percent of Americans are so afraid of getting germs from a public toilet that they flush the handle with their feet -- not their hand.

That\'s not the only offbeat strategy used to avoid a crappy bathroom. About 2 percent use their elbows or wrist to dispense paper towels or soap.

-- 10 percent cover the toilet seat with tissue paper to avoid getting crud on themselves.

-- 14 percent refuse to use public restrooms at all.

-- Finally, 15 percent use towels to avoid touching faucets or door handles.

And that slams the lid on this story.

I thought EVERYONE flushed with their feet.  I would never in a million years touch a toilet flusher thingy.  If anything, just because I assume everyone else did it with their feet and you can\'t possibly tell me there is no piss on the floor.

I avoid them all together.  If I have to go, I just go ino the gap and find the baggiest pants with the largest pockets they have, whatever happens in the fitting room happens.

I would prefer not to flush at all, leaving a nice present for the next victim.

I flush with my mouth so I don\'t get germs on my clean hands.

How many of those 14 percent who refuse to use the bathroom are women?

Depending on where it is I use paper. Usually in school if I know that people have missed. I flush with my foot only if I take a whiz on a toilet. I don\'t know how far up the guys ass he sticks his hand and what gets on it.

I just piss on an adjacent wall.  This way, no flushing is involved. Also, I simply unzip my pants and use the muscles that keep the skin tight to the shaft to pop it out and have enough control to suck it back in, using the same muscles. As a result, no washing is needed.

My GF squats. I\'ve seen her do it, it\'s impressive. I\'ll whiz anywhere. I don\'t flush, even with my foot. As far as pooping- only in dire emergencies will I crap in a public stall. I can\'t believe people will do it and think nothing of it. I was in washington square park in NYC once and had to whiz. I went into th epublic restroom and right next to the 20 urinals were 20 toilets, no stalls, no SEATS, and about 15 f*cked up peeps shitting on them. I couldn\'t believe it.

Buddy of mine was about 17 when they sold their house and moved away.  He left a nice pile for the new owners in the toilet.  Hope they didn\'t wait several days to move in.
