OK, but isn't your problem that the germs from the people who DON'T wash their hands...what would a person who didn't wash their hands want to do with the paper towel dispenser ???

I do understand the grabbing the handle of the door with paper towel to combat all those people who didn't wash their hands...although I don't do this either because I haven't been able to figure out one thing...what are you supposed to do with the paper towel after you open the door???

I read this and had one thought.... aren't YOUR hands dirty when you grab the towel before you wash?

I wash hands....leave the water on.... get towels by using my elbow to push down the lever.... dry hands.... turn off water with towel, open door with towel.... throw towel toward garbage

I don't grab the towel before I wash....I roll it out using the lever or handle, then I wash my hands....then grab the clean towel that I rolled out, tear it off of dispenser, dry hands, and turn off water with towel in hands.....It's easier to just show you.

OH....Okay...that makes sence... BUT what happens if someone else takes your towel?

LOL... just teasing... I could just see me in the bathroom washing and staring at the towel.... and then if someone gets close to it....saying...."STEP OFF... GET AWAY FROM THAT TOWEL WITH YOUR DIRTY SELF"

Well, statistically, the first stall in the bathroom is the least used stall. So I just use that one. Past that I'm not concerned.

LOL Lana!! Ok I'll stop laughing now......*snickers*

Ok well I, personally, could care less since I'm at school all day and there's no escape from germs! But if I'm in a horribly nasty bathroom at a gas station or something, I'll sit in my hands and then wash them really well. But anyways, at our airport there are awesome toilet seats where the paper things are attached to the seat, and each time that the toilet is flushed, the paper automatically slides over and there's new paper for the next person. isn't that nifty??????? But you know what? There's more germs on the mouth of a public phone than there is on a toilet seat. Because think about it, people wear pants all day (hopefully) and their butts never do anything! LOL
