Lol, I think that came out wrong. I didn't mean that thinking of this or posting about it is not worthy of care. Rather, I was trying to convey that worrying about microbes is about the most hopeless waste of time one could conceive of. Hope you didn;t take it wrong, Wiz =)
I know what YOU meant, I'm just going further with it. I use the paint analogy with my kid. Basically, imagine your hands are always covered in wet paint. Now, imagine EVERYONE'S hands are. The world would be covered in it, yes? And theirs would get on you, and you on theirs, and on and on. Paint = bacteria, so unless you've got stock in rubber gloves or carry a 55gal drum of 'shine on your back, you're getting filth on you. Easier to accept it than fight it. And though my sanitation habits have (likely) resulted in a colony of weapons' grade botulism on my food prep counter right now, I ain't even had a COLD in over 2yrs now. Unless you are newly born or about to be newly dead, ain't no sense in the stress.
I do not doubt it for one second. It's the maggots all over again. Really Bad vs Perceived as Really Bad don't often match up. That septic backup is just about the worst thing you could imagine, yet when you slip and fall in it trying to clean it up, your life is affected 0. It's that neatly wrapped burrito in the corner of your fridge, sitting there in all its delectable glory, that's gonna make an actual attempt on your life. Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it. |

Twenty minutes have passed, still not doped out of my mind. Carrot in the toilet? rinse it off, no prob. Taco Bell taco or open pudding cup? I'm just gonna flush it. How nasty is your toilet that that might scare you, Bob? And what are you doing with a carrot in the bathroom while your toilet is open, may I ask? I'd have no problem eating a pistachio that had been on the carpet for a week, but I'd toss a piece of shrimp that fell under the refrigerator for 2 seconds. You just have to think for yourself. Even doped out of your mind. |

But then, how would you be able to tell if you're so used to being in that state. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

odiousgambit Member since: Oct 28, 2012 Threads: 154 Posts: 5055 | if the water in the toilet is municipality supplied, it's chlorinated - definitely less bacteria on the other hand, the kitchen sink bacteria is going to be harmless, assuming it gets rinsed out at least. probably a toss up.

Prior to being the grocery department supervisor, I worked as a bagger at a grocery store during college who was tasked with maintaining the restrooms throughout the day, my experience was the exact opposite. The women's restroom was repulsive. "War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen..let us give them all they want." William T. Sherman |

I (probably like 99% of the population) have to be in dire trouble before I'll use a public restroom to poop. I've noticed two things: one, that people seem to be far less piggy than they used to be. I remember, 30-40 years ago, any restroom that had been available for longer than an hour would be an absolute disaster. Two, I've been pleasantly surprised with the general cleanliness of restrooms in the place where I now live. People here seem to be more considerate in general. Probably because we're all stinking liberals here :) |

You sound just like my wife. I had no idea you were a woman. I'll take a dump in any restroom, what's the difference. Most real men are like that.. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Right! Real men don't care about hygiene! I feel so sorry for your wife. |
