Flick the lever with the toe of my shoe, unless it's an automatic flush toilet.
At home, use my hand for flicking the lever. Regardless, I always wash my hands, and don't touch the door handles on the way out.

similar for the door handle


terrible

I use my hand. It would probably be cleaner to just kick it and not even go through the process of touching things to wash my hands.

I would like to point out, if no one else has, that at least in my state (Oklahoma) the bathrooms in Mcdonalds are almost always some of the cleanest.

Seriously, [censored] anyone who does this. It's horrible and awful and I don't have enough adjectives to describe how bad it is because it's so incomparable to anything else I've seen.

Nothing ruins your day like going to take a dump and finding someone's left you "gift" in the toilet. Ugh.

Depends I think. If the toilet is auto-flush, and it doesn't flush, I'm not going to [censored] that the person didn't take the time to see if it flushed/try to find the tiny little button to manually flush. I remember in Wal-mart once, I had just got done, and the toilet didn't flush. At the time, I had no idea the damn thing even HAD a manual button. A Wal-Mart employee [censored]ed me out for not flushing it, I was like "It's Auto-Flush, not my fault" and they were like "It has a button" I was like "really, where? Cuz I didn't see one". They motioned me back into the stall and pointed to this tiny little button that was smaller then my finger and basically looked like a bolt or something. I was like "Yeah, I would never have noticed that without you pointing it out". Quite honestly, even after being pointed it out, no way in hell I'm going to touch it, It's like right in direct line of where some [censored] could possibly piss all over it, and despite the fact that, yes I do wash my hands every time I'm in a bathroom, I'm not going to willingly touch something some jerk-off might have pissed on.

I use my hand. I haven't gotten any sort of sickness yet from it, so I figure I'm alright. Or totally immune. Bring on the outbreak.

So many wrong things come to mind on this thread..."I use my hand" for example.

If I somehow managed to get into a dire predicament this is what I do.




What do you propose he use? A foot? A rope? Magnets? Psionic Powers?

I usually push the handle with my foot. I'm tall and I don't want to bend down to flush it. At home I pick up things with my long prehensile toes too (instead of bending over). I'm basically lazy. :blush: Why waste a good natural adaptation I always say. :laugh:

The hell kind of toilets do you guys have that you flush by kicking? :blink: http://toaletterjagbesokt.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/dsc00638.jpg is the kind of toilet I have and I would have to use my toes to "kick-flush" it.

They're basically the same style in public restrooms around here, too.

I know a few microbiologists and one pathologist. None of them are paranoid enough to use hand sanitizer or kick toilet flushers.

I want squat toilets.

Its how your supposed to poop anyways.

I'll pick feet flushing just because I'm lazy.

I piss on the floor and then I kick the handle. Can't be having splashbacks on my peepee now can I? Public bathrooms are filthy. I don't care if it's not a good excuse, the handle is full of other people's piss, I'm not touching it.

At home I obviously use my hands.

You sir, assume too much


motion sensors.

I flush with my hands before washing vigorously. If the door is non-handle, I shoulder-charge my way out but if there is a handle I use my elbow or foot (if no one else is around)
And I'm scared of Automatic Toilets. I've only ever been in one and it wouldn't let me leave until I used all of the toilet paper - even though I didn't need it.

We have buttons that are unkickable. So I use a paper towel.

I don't have any qualms about using public toilets and I flush with my hand rather then my feet.

I'm a touch germophobic and even I use my hand. I'm about to go and wash my hands with hot soapy water anyways. Plus women's public toilets tend to be relatively clean (where I've peed anyway. )

I'm sorry, Dave. I can't let you do that.

I also pick up things with my long toes. Only I am short. It's a useful skill when my arms are full of things. I especially like flinging my kids discarded clothing at them, using my toes, from household rooms deemed public. I don't care if they walk round half naked, we live in Florida, where bathing suits are daily attire. I don't want clothes on my living room, foyer, or hallway, floors.


As for the poster who wondered how we kick flushers exit stalls, I use my elbow to slide the lock, unless it's a magnetic locking door. That is opened by pulling with one foot at the base of the door. I'm not going to use a contaminated hand that's dealt with bodily tidiness to unlock doors or flush, and spread germs, nor do I want to pick any up. Shoes are kicked off before coming inside the house. Right next to a washer.

Depends on the toilet and the allure of its handle.

They use tiny cameras installed in the toilets too see if they need to flush....

I just bring my leg up and slightly step. Technically not a kick. This if it's in a public restroom with handles that stick out to the side. If it's a toilet you stand at I just carefully push the handle with my finger tips. Wash my hands anyway. You can actually get germs on you from the toilet flushing without a lid on it, so I think that's more of an issue.

What the [censored]? I mean, you wash your hands after flushing the toilet, don't you? In that case, what difference does it make whether you flush the toilet with your hand or not?

I just use my hands. Lets face it, in life we're all going to be around germs. I have to hang around and deal with sick kids all the time. Touching stuff in a public toilet isnt going to kill me, if anything, it might improve my resistences.
