Guess what happens when you close public restrooms ? ...

Sure, why not...it makes every bit as much sense as mask-mania!

MOPP 5 -- wear the chemical protective suit, the gauntlets, the overboots, the mask and hood -- and carry a chamber pot.

Yes. Now when things were shut down, traffic was way down, and so was the pressure on those bathrooms. Maybe the attendants were given instructions to keep things extra clean, or maybe not. With things picking up, that is going to be an increased point of risk, but if you gotta go, you gotta go.

Catching germs in a bathroom is a known thing. I'm not a germophobe per se, but I have paid closer attention these days to what the hands touch. What I don't like is the bathrooms with hot air dryers only (no towel option) but then after washing & drying your hands, to get out you have to grab the same door handle as the guy who didn't bother to wash his.

If only blowers, reach in and garb a couple of sections from a toilet paper roll to use for the door handle...

Yeah but then you gotta go back into the stall, and if some jumped in there in the mean time....

OK, how about this. if you have to pee, go into a stall and sit and pee, then grab T paper on the way out....I do see a lot of guys go in the stalls and sit to pee so they don't splash on their pants...I'm usually in too much in a hurry..Lol

I think some guys are just pee shy. Seems to be more prevalent with younger men.

You've obviously seen guys with a real aiming problem.

In the backcountry holes are recommended. I'd settle for under a bush where no one stumbles on it.

Except for person with the same idea.

That's what did the Cherokee in, you know.

John Ross said the Cherokee didn't like to travel by boat (the first contingents went by riverboat and had a comfortable trip.) He demanded they travel overland -- and contract the move to his son. He also demanded they wait until Fall -- cooler traveling.

But it rains in the fall -- and the trail was a sea of mud. The Cherokee were making about five miles a day. A wagon train would stop for the night, people would do their business in the bushes and leave the remains of meals, too. And the next night, the following train would stop in the same place, use the same bushes, and so on. That's what bred the disease that caused the Cherokee so much misery.
