Re: Paper toilet seat covers UNAPPRECIATION thread

I hate to detract from the humor but, on a serious note, I saw something on TV awhile back about a germ study! A lab visited various public and private places. The toilet seat of a public restroom had less germs than a counter top and sponge in the kitchen of a private home. The public toilet seat had surprisingly few germs. I'd guess it would make a difference where exactly that test loo was located. A public restroom on the beach along the leeward coast would most likely test 'germier' than one of the public restrooms at a Ritz Carlton! Restroom doorknobs tested very germy because so many people ignore washing their hands before they leave. IIRC, grocerie carts were pretty bad, esp. the handle one pushes the cart with; the same one everyone uses during the course of the day and the same one babies slobber on and also wipe their noses with their hands then hang on to the handle. The supermarket is the one place I follow up with Purell.

Re: Paper toilet seat covers UNAPPRECIATION thread

Chicago's O'Hare International Airport has many toilets with automatic sanitary seat cover gizmos installed. A user of one of these toilets pushes a small button upon entering the stall which activates the device that automatically dispenses and puts in place a clean toilet seat cover. I can't really explain in words how it works, but the device is quite ingenious. O'Hare is the only airport I've been in that I've seen toilets equipped with such devices, though I have to think that other airports somewhere must have rest rooms with them installed.

Or some of us just don't give a Crap about the subjct

I don't know where else to put this...

Our toilet water actually froze up!

There's a restaurant in the Discovery Bay Center that has the same kind of device.

That device was a bitch. No instructions, and it took me forever to figure it out.

No kidding. I wonder how much it costs just to maintain those buggers?

In addition to O'Hare, I've seen them at Atlanta-Hartsfield, Newark, and Houston International as well.

Yep, although the ones I saw in the airport bathrooms didn't look that bright and cheery.
