How do, you, flush a public toilet?
- Thread starter Squarehard
- Start date
I like how people sit on the public toilets to shit and don't bat an eye but think they need to use their foot to flush because it's too dirty to touch with your hands...lol
The toilet seat is way dirtier than the flusher. And usually has shit on the seat that the person before you wiped off with dry tp to make it look like it didn't happen

The logical conclusion is that feet people don't wash their hands.
Era has revealed so many weird practices over the years, but the majority of y'all being germaphobe foot flushers is legit the most surprising thing yet.
I feel bad for the janitor. Dudes gotta deal with not only people who probably don't wash their hands in general, but peoples dirty ass shoes smearing whatever piss they walked on, all over the handle 😂
Piss, manure, garbage, sewar water, all sorts of fungi...like, y'all shoes are nasty af. And y'all are boasting about this.
Thank god I wash my hands anyway, people's booties are the least of my concern apparently.
With the way some people here respond to hygiene threads, I'm wondering why you people don't just live in sterile bubbles based on how absurd some of the answers are (provided they are actually serious).
Good hygiene is obviously important (I can't even give an accurate count of the amount of people I've heard/seen just go out without washing their hands on campus), but unless you are immunocompromised in some way, you people need to chill out with the excessive and wasteful bathing and whatnot.
You are essentially covered in all sorts of shit (figuratively and literally) no matter what you do, and most of the surfaces you touch on a daily basis are actually worse than a public toilet, so maybe try to chill out a bit.

How is that ANY worse than what's likely on there already from someone wiping and flushing with the same hand?

I use my hands because I'm about to wash them.
Convinced anyone using their feet walks straight out without washing their hands and you can't convince me otherwise.

A lot of toilets now have buttons that are flush (ha) with the top of the cistern. In other words, the only way you're flushing those badboys with your feet is if you're taking your shoes off and using your big toe like a finger.
Obviously I just use my hands like a normal person, though.

Every public toilet I've ever used has been automated so I've never had to touch them. But If I did, I'd just flush with my hands and then wash them. There's no point in being paranoid about the germs if you intend to vigorously wash your hands anyway.
Little do hand people know; they are touching all the poo & pee transferred from the dirty floors of bathrooms by civilized and evolved feet people
The real hygiene problem is getting out of the restroom without your neighbors poop on your hands.
Foot (in shoe) for levers and elbow for the rare button on top. I have OCD so I especially know there isn't any consistent logic to these things.
Yes, I still wash my hands.

I'm crying from laughter. If only I had the dexterity.
I flush with my foot because it's easier and keeps the rest of me away from the toilet. Then I wash my hands, and use the paper towel I dry them with to open the door out.
Hand because I can fucking wash it...
It's bad enough I need to step in a public bathroom, I'm not fucking touching that handle with anything I cannot immediately clean. I'll wash that hand for 10 minutes if it's disgusting enough.

No need to lean in and have your face hovering over a public toilet when it's flushing. God gave you feet for a reason. Lean back and give it a good push with your toes.
Feet, definitely. I hate touching anything in a public restroom. Sometimes, if there's no paper around to dry my hands or grab the door handle, I will wait.
If someone comes into the bathroom in that time, I will catch the door with my foot and leave that way.
Best bathrooms are in airports: no doors, automatic flush, wash, and paper towels.

I do that too if there is a pull open door and enough foot traffic.
I use any public amenity as a way to practice my mouth dexterity. I don't want to lick and mess up my home toilet.
jfc people use your hand. Are you people not washing your hands? Don't fucking use your shit and piss covered shoes what the fuck.
