Now for the faint of heart, never fear. There isn't any NSFW (not suitable for work) info here. Basically, it's interesting info and actually helpful info we need to know about the health environment of public restrooms.
I won't reveal everything from the article. I think you'll enjoy reading the entirety yourself, but there are some fun things and some other issues we need to seriously look at. For instance:
- When it comes to public restrooms, men pick the stall closest to the door; women pick the one furthest from the door.
- When it comes to washing your hands in a public restrooms, the soap dispenser is probably one of the last things you'd want to touch. About 25% of them are contaminated with fecal and coilform matter and you may actually end up with dirtier hands!
- In Great Britain an expose revealed 92% of baby changing stations in public restrooms had trace amount of cocaine on them, so mother's beware.
- Paper towels are actually more sanitary to use for drying hands than the wall dryers. Why? Well, the areas around those dryers usually have 27 times more bacteria in the air surrounding it and when the hot air is blasted out of the dryer, it spreads the bacteria everywhere!
And, now, for the age old question: toilet paper - over or under? Well, Cottonelle did a study and determined that 72% of the people surveyed were "over" people and 28% were under hangers. The study also indicated people with higher incomes tended to be "over hangers". What that means is anyone's guess.
Take the time and read the article and get a chuckle or two out of the A - Z of Human Bathroom Behavior and the health enviroment of public restrooms.
