Also wash your hands afterwards! The pandemic should have highlighted the importance of basic hygiene.
The pandemic taught me that 90% of public restrooms will leave my hands dirtier than when I started, and risk further infection than if I just go in, piss, don't touch anything and then front kick that door open.
If take a shit do I still need to wash my hands?
Do you use toilet paper or just wipe with your hands? Cause if it's the latter, yes please wash.
And the former too, wtf.
Who the FUCK is out there shitting in public restrooms? Obviously you don't leave the house in the morning before you shit and then shower, in that order. Only an insane person takes a dump in a public restroom.
I'm a contractor and work in other people's homes and sometimes you just get that bubble in the gut when you least expect it and gotta run to the nearest Wendys so you don't gas out your entire clients house, okay?
That's different from a public restroom though, that's someone's house.
Sir, this is a Wendy's.
I did this during the pandemic in a crowded public bathroom, and people fucking stared at me like I was insane. Granted I used a stall like a urinal, and might have kicked some stuff, but a lot of them weren't wearing masks so...
Yeah man, it wasn't a great time. I only publicly lost it once. I had a young baby at home so I was taking all the precautions imaginable at the time - early days so it was still a big scary bogeyman especially for babies and the elderly.
I'm masked up grabbing a few things at a local grocery store and this vile woman walking towards me takes off her fucking mask to do a huge sneeze. Sprayed the entire isle with visible particulate. I fucking lost it. I had a can of something in my hands and I threw it violently into the ground sending goop everywhere and started screaming about her being a disgusting bitch and asked her what the point of the mask was. Not my proudest moment. I did my best to stay home after this unless absolutely unavoidable. People are gross.
Wait, no, I mean I used my feet to do everything, which involved a lot of kicking things in a crowded space, which added that I was a teenager & a black male was probably not a good look. I was pretty agitated though, but not angry. :p
Oh yeah I got that. I'm well familiar with the weird no-hands exit technique. It's my personal favourite.
