I saw two drivers in a row wash their hands after doing what they had to do in the restroom...
the even spookier thing, they used soap! -
The only time I don't wash my hands is when they don't have paper towels or at least those loud, turbo hand dryers. If all they have is the conventional hand dryers, I ain't got the time. Some places never even have soap. If there's no soap, there's no point in even getting your hands wet.
-
The ones that really frost me are the restrooms that don't even have the possibility of paper towels. The only thing available is the electric blow dryer.
So what it amounts to, is you do your business, then wash your hands. Then blow them not dry. Now here is the part that pisses me off. You then have to grab the door handle with your bare hands to get the door open. This is the same door handle that the last 15 guys who took a whiz handled without washing their hands first.
If there aren't any paper towels, I will at least use toilet paper to grab that door handle. . .

If there's no soap then I don't leave the building till I get hold of the manager and complain & I see the soap replaced. And I explain to them that if it's not done the health dept & head office will be called.
That's the same as I do.johnday Thanks this. -
If I ever own a business I'm going to remodel the bathrooms. There's certain things that are just unacceptable that's standard practice.
#1. WTF is with the electronic motion-sensing faucets? They never work for me. I'll get my hands all soaped up then they won't give me any water to rinse. It's nice not having to touch dirty knobs, but what happened to the old foot-operated sinks??? It serves the same purpose (saving water) as the motion sensing ones but they actually WORK.
#2. Like Drew Barrymore, the door into the bathroom will swing both ways. That way you don't need to touch it at all. Push it open with your foot or your shoulder.
#3. To save money on paper towels and employee time, and keep the place clean, there would be the turbo-hand dryers. (The high-powered noise machines that dry your hands in like 3 seconds.)
#4. The toilet seats will be on springs (in the mens room). If I have to invent and patent it myself, there will be a mechanism that you have to operate to get the seat to go down. Step on a lever or something. The seat will go down and stay down for 30 seconds before the spring raises it back up. To keep it down while putting the "cowboy hat" in place, just keep your foot on the pedal. That way there's never any piss on the seat.
#5. Foot operated flush lever.
#6. Stall doors would be like the ones in a Love's with the deadbolt, so they WORK.
#7. I'll hire some electronics geek to design an infrared tracking system that follows your body heat when you come in the door, and tracks your movements in there. If you try to leave without your body making at least a 30 second stop in front of one of the sinks, an alarm goes off and a voice comes over the intercom announcing that the person leaving the bathroom didn't wash his hands.Freebird135 Thanks this. -
I'm going to add something to # 4, (just as a suggestion of course.)
As long as you are going to the trouble to do a spring loaded toilet seat, you should also design it so that if somebody goes to sleep on the pot, the manager can trip a switch in the office that will pop that person right up off the pot. Sort of like a toaster. And this would have to have a bidet that would hose him off first. Then, perhaps it could just flip him right out of the stall. You would also need a tripping device that automatically unlocks the stall door if this feature has to be used.
NEXT!I_HATE_MINIVANS, Rabbit_B and Freebird135 Thank this. -
it will never work there isnt a strong enough seat to launch a 500 lb supertrucker off like that. anyhow someone would try to steal it anyhow. just set up a water squriter to get them moving that way it will serve two purposes, wake him up and clean him up at the same time.
Freebird135, Rabbit_B and Big Don Thank this. -
The motion sensor faucets are in place to prevent vandals from flooding the bathroom.
The lever assist toilet seat has already been invented.(As seen on Americas next inventor. George Forman loved it)
On an unrelated note, why is it that women complain when you leave the seat up? Would they rather it be left down with pee all over it? It's almost like you're danged if you do and danged if you don't am I right?
The bi-way swinging door sounds like a good idea until noses on both sides of the door get busted. Could be a lawsuit.
Save money on the infrared hand washing scanner and hire an English butler or a Hooters girl to remind customers to wash their hands. You could also mandate this person split their tips with you.
You're definately on to something though. -
Maybe no door, like the bathrooms at the service plazas in IL, IN, OH & PA. You just go in, turn a corner, turn another corner.
The problem with women and toilet seats is OUR fault. We allowed them to dictate the rules. Here's how it works with me. At HER apartment, I leave the seat down. Her apartment, her rule. I have no problem with that. But at MY place it stays up. If she falls into the toilet because the seat is up, it's HER fault for not LOOKING before she sits down. I mean,... DUHH!!! If she leaves it down, and she's still here and I expect her to use the bathroom again before she leaves, here's what I do: The seat is oak, so you can't tell if the liquid on the seat is yellow or not, so I put the seat up, piss, put it back down, then before I dry my hands I shake them off so the water drips on the seat. That way she thinks I pissed on the seat, and when she gets mad I say "well you should've left the seat up".
Yeah, I sleep on the couch a lot.Freebird135 and zebcohobo Thank this.
