[Closed] A bit OCD or a wise precaution

[i]stranger splashback[/i]

I make a little tissue shaped landing pad, even on home territory, there's little worse than a splashed bum to ruin a good poo and a read.

Human bodies evolved in conditions a lot less sanitary than those of today. A great deal of the modern obsession with cleanliness has been driven by advertisers pushing antibacterial wipes etc. You need to be exposed to a certain amount of germs to build up your body's defences 😉

stranger splashback

I prefer to think of it as 'Neptune's Kiss'

Have you seen the people I work with?! 😯

don't you all have your own private bathroom at work? 😕

Massively OCD.

What do you do after you've kissed someone enthusiastically? Boil your head?

God forbid that the idea of oral sex should ever be raised....

I choose who I do those things with. I don't get to choose who sat on the loo before me! Besides, when the OH knows I'm that particular, she's more willing to do the unmentionables mentioned above.

+1 for Neptune's Kiss.

Some people need to rough it a bit more... go to a festival... maybe a spot of travelling.

I bet you're the sort of people that anally clean your bikes as soon as they see the slightest bit of muck. Infact you probably don't ride off road at all...

[i]I choose who I do those things with[/i]

Which, in microbiological terms, means exactly nothing.

It's irrational human behaviour at its finest; people will wipe toilet seats and door handles, but eat from anothers fork, kiss with tongues, oral sexify one another, all of which present a cross infection risk many many many times greater.

People = odd.

but you're overlooking the massively significant ick factor.

Onza surely you're taking the piss?

[i]but you're overlooking the massively significant ick factor.[/i]

Ah... yes, I suppose I am.

I'm a nurse though, and 20 odd years of blood/poo/wee/sweat/ooze/drip/squelch/mucus etc has left me somewhat de-icked.

As you were then, odd folk... 🙂

Just poo Wilko style, no need to touch at all. Your turds can then escape like Navy Seal types fast roping out of a helicopter. Sort of.

Its all going a bit Howard Hughes. No, that's not rhyming slang although given the subject matter perhaps it should be.

get some tissue, put some gel on it.
Get some gel in the other hand.
Lock door.
Wipe seat with tissue/gel.
Flush loo with seat down.
lift lid.
wipe excess gel off with tissue and drop that in to stop splash back
then clean hands with other gel.
Sit down, check my mail on my phone, whatever.
Phone away,
Wipe.
Wash hands
Get some gel.
Open doors
Rub gel into hands once in the corridor.

OCD or thorough?

You've definitely got OCD!! All this just to check your mail on the phone. You need help of some sorts. Ever tried this: take phone out of pocket, read mail, put phone away.

😉

find it really bizarre that people can't shit in any old bog.

And I find it really bizarre that some people can't organise their lives in such a way that they are able to empty their bowels before leaving/after returning home.

I am at the moment working on a site with one of those small portable non-flushing toilets, and it seriously annoys me that some people use it to have a shit - I go in there to have a piss and the sight of huge dollops of turds hanging on to the bottom of the pan 'cause they haven't quite managed to slide into the tank full of piss and crap, makes me want to throw up.....durty bashturds 😐

I also worry about those doorhandles which is why I have perfected the art of opening them using my teeth.

A choirboys ruff placed on the seat = no touching.

A smear of Vaseline around your ringpiece = no wiping.

Leave the door open = no touching door handles.

Robert's your father's brother.

Leave tap running then climb out of window.
It's the only way to be sure.

I've met a few drain unblocking blokes (as the drains at my house date from Victorian times) and they all say they've never got sick since they started, and don't take a paranoid amount of care washing their hands. Certainly not when I give them tea and a biscuit just to check.

And practitioners of A to M seem OK.

just go on the floor

No further questions, your honour.

Still you wouldn't want to borrow a toothbrush would you.

whilst away on holiday i usually swim out to sea and release whilst treading water......... 😀

I shared a flat with a girl for a while who couldn't void her bowels if anybody else was in the house, she was so uptight that somebody would know, hear, smell etc. When she got married, she would make her husband go for a walk for 10 minutes.

Bet she was a rubbish shag !

The flat was always nice and clean tho.

this is acceptable, except i wouldn't get your phone out in a public loo, it might get contaminated, or you might drop it on the floor. 😕

1. Man does poo & wipes up. - Bacteria transfer from bum to hand.
2. Turns on taps. - Bacteria transfer from hand to tap.
3. Washes hands - Hands clean.
4. Turns off taps - Bacteria transfer from taps back to hands.
5. Opens door to leave - Bacteria transfer from hands to door handle.

Still want to touch that door handle?

You seem to be forgetting the fact that every single square inch of your skin has an estimated 50 to 500 million bacteria on it, washed or not.

while i dont intend to go licking man 1, it just keeps your immune system on its toes. [u][b]MTFU!!![/b][/u]

So wading through shit is actually good for you - it stops you ever getting sick ? .......well I never knew that.

.......it's learning stuff like that, that keeps me coming back here 🙂

Yes but while they're drinking their tea they amuse themselves with tales of ex colleagues who died of undiagnosed ailments.
