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.
