    Lol, are they using their toothbrush to scrub the sink?
    Personally, I wish I’d see more drivers brushing their teeth in the restroom.. makes me wonder how many even bother to.

    Maybe some of us brush our teeth multiple times a day... as opposed to whenever a driver feels it’s shower day.

    Don’t get me wrong, I got my hang ups too.

    I won’t use the restroom to drop a load.. If anyone understands how contracting a stomach virus happens, you’ll understand.

    What makes it unsanitary? I’m curious.

    Man alive, sometimes it's nice to brush your teeth at a sink and not from a moving vehicle.

    I appreciate the concerns of anyone who finds it disgusting.....unless of course they have EVER pissed in a jug or bottle. That voids it. Animals.

    For the record, I do both.

    i did this all the time, including flossing...and why not? that's WHAT A RESTROOM IS FOR....

    i would on occasion brush my teeth in my truck, like when i had to meet with a customer....

    i could care less what someone else thinks is embarrassing. i have to take care of ME.

    i would also take my shave kit with me as well, and guess what...SHAVE....

    you can go be a nasty foul smelling mouth person, not i...ever.

    i would only wash my face and hands, nothing else..as that what THE SHOWER ROOM IS FOR....all other "quickie clean ups" is done in guess what..THE RESTROOM...

    i'll tell YOU WHAT'S REALLY NASTY...

    some jerkwad driver, taking a dump, wiping his butt, and NOT WASHING HIS HANDS, and heading over to the boofay table...

    unless YOU THINK, that's acceptable..????

    I guess it's just me but I wouldn't want my toothbrush anywhere near those nasty ### bathrooms. Just me personally.

    I’m just glad some of you are regularly brushing your teeth.

    Period.

    well you obviously DO NOT set it down on the counter top. you take along your plastic cup, or just hold onto it...easy-peasy.

    I won’t brush my teeth anywhere someone is actively taking a ####.
    Shower or in my truck period

    I have thin enamel so I brush once daily and have cut out sugar and most soda.
    I was bad about using baking soda when I was a teen because tooth paste is disgusting.
    Turns out baking soda also has aluminum in it and wears enamel down FAST
    Most of my teeth have some form of a cap, and I’ve got s few genuine fake ones.
