A person walks in and uses the bathroom. They then….

  1. Walk out:

    Very gross
  2. Run hand under water ( no soap ) and walk out:

    Hypocritical gross: you knew you were gross but made a gesture to appear socially less disgusting.
  3. Wash your hands with soap and walk out with hands wet

    Not gross, just a bit sloppy
  4. Wash your hands with soap, dry with a ton of towels

    Not green, not gross
  5. Wash your hands with soap, use only one towel

    Green, not gross
  6. Wash your hands with soap, dry with 2 towels

    Not green, not gross, Joe Average ®
  7. Wash your hands before using bathroom, use bathroom, wash hands afterwards

    A bit obsessive, but OK.
  8. Wash your hands before using bathroom, take extra towel, use bathroom, flush with toted towel, wash hands afterwards

    You are clean, man, but you might want to look into OCD medication
  9. Wash your hands before using bathroom, take extra towel, use bathroom, flush with toted towel, wash hands afterwards, dry off countertop and all other countertops

    You are clean, man, but you might want to look into OCD, and you have a great prospect in the custodial service industry.

Proving yet again the line between ‘decent’ behavior and ‘live in the now, man’.

  1. the social bobcat Says:

    i never considered the toted towel; what happened to the old ‘flush with your elbow’ or ‘flush with your foot’ techniques?

    I use the Loo
    Wash my hands
    1 towel, never even bother with the cold air blower
    Then grab a second towel open the door with it
    (because of all those grossers that don’t wash their hands then germify the door handle)
    If I am lucky there is a waste bin on the far wall. the 2nd towel goes in there whilst I hold the door with my foot.
    Otherwise sometimes I have to do a Michael Jordan with that second towel.

    When they do not have towels, neither is the door one that cannot be opened without hands I am NOT happy.
