Wait wait wait, I was always under the impression that you let go of the TP a split second after you scrape the bum

I always use 3 Costco sheets and form a little ball to wipe myself. The thought of my finger bursting through the folded sheets of TP is too much for me. There is not enough soap in the world to comfort me

I generally use two squares simultaneously: fold, wipe, fold again, wipe again, drop. Repeat ad nauseum.

Iā€™ll keep this method in mind the next time we have a Covid style run on TP and Iā€™m running low on TP

As for now Iā€™ll keep stimulating the economy

General wiping tip: if you get your hair lasered off it is way easier.

Also a bathroom themed debate:

Flushing a public bathroom toiletā€”using your foot vs hand.

  • Footā€”environmentally friendly way to avoid touching that nasty handle
  • Bare handā€”environmentally friendly and not spreading more germs from floor to toilet handle
  • Use toilet paper to protect handā€”not spreading germs from floor or handle
  • Flushing public toilets is for suckers
  • Pack 42 Clorox wipes to wipe everything down

Iā€™m no germaphobe. I flush with my hand. Then wash it.

I donā€™t recall the last time I made use of a public restroom that didnā€™t have an automatic flusher.

I use the foot approach with a handle but itā€™s the toilets which use a different amount of water depending on the contents that can be problematic if the appropriate water amount is flushing up because then I have to use the top of my shoe.

varies based on my perception of room cleanliness overall. then wash of course

I really shouldnā€™t have jinxed myself.

The hospital where Iā€™m camping this week doesnā€™t have automatic flushers.

I donā€™t like people exercising right next to me so I often choose an endcap machine. Even with multiple open machines itā€™s not uncommon for someone to get on next to me.

At least a week ago someone left their protein shake bottle in the cup holder on the machine adjacent to the endcap machine. Iā€™ve been conflicted between the grossness of the stagnant bottle and enjoying the buffer.

Do I

  • Report it. Itā€™s gross to leave it there.
  • Keep my mouth shut. I can avoid both staff and patrons.
  • 42 microbes in sweat and protein shake soup.

option 4 - do your workout, then report it when finished

you get solitude
gives the owner a chance to realize itā€™s missing
and you do the right thing (eventually)

But Iā€™ve been enjoying over a week of solitude and no one has come back for it. Clearly the employees havenā€™t cleared it out either.

I misread, thought it was a constant leaving

So, you go to a gym where no one wipes down the machines?

Patrons wipe down the machines. Admittedly I thought the staff wiped everything down at the end of the day but apparently not.

Social distancing bottle is still there but someone else took the endcap machine.

Ewā€¦ I assumed they would do this too.

D. From now on, bring your own protein shake bottle and place it in the cup holder on the machine adjacent to the endcap machine.

Plot twist:
Protein shake bottle has been moved to the end cap machine. Naturally this meant I shifted to a different end cap machine.

This story makes me queasy, but I am also very invested at this point.
