I was just curious what are some of the things we do in public rest rooms to avoid germs.
Here's what I do:
put TP or one of those "sanitary seat tissues" on the seat.....
put TP in the bowl (just laying on the water) to avoid "splash back".....
sometimes I'll flush before I sit....just in case it wasn't flushed well after the last person.....
roll out enough towel before I wash my hands....
wash my hands....
grab towel and dry hands...
turn off water with towel.....
open door with towel.....toss towel in trash as I hold door open with foot.

You forgot one. Always roll up your pant legs before "dropping trou"! We have NO idea what's on that floor.

I do all that, and flush with my foot too, for the non-auto ones. My friend taught me that one.

Ohmigosh ladies! 
Honestly if I worried about germs I would never stop having attacks. I think there is so many other things in this world to worry about...why stress yourself over germs????
I mean if the washroom is particularly terrible I will "hover" but definitely I don't get all worried about it! LOL
I think you gals need to relax!  LOL

Canadian restrooms (or that's washrooms to you, right?) must be cleaner.

I agree, Mags.....most public restrooms I've been in are very worthy of "germ anxiety". Especially with our touchy tummies....a bad case of germs on top of it all....it's definatly worth the effort to avoid them at all costs.

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

The only thing I do admit to doing is not touch esculator "handles".
One of my best friends was a lab tech and in University did a study on the germs here. She told me enough that would disgust me out of it!!! LOL
PS - Our "washrooms" must be cleaner though LOL
