I'm not sure I even have the balance to do that. I'd rather have some germy hands for the five seconds it takes to get out of the stall and to the sink than be the girl crashing around/falling down in the bathroom stall at work! I can't think of any public toilets I've used that are really gross, though. Maybe if I was frequenting nasty bathrooms I would figure out the foot thing.

I'll use my foot if it looks scary, or my hand if not. I wash my hands after I use the bathroom anyway. googly-eyes on "How do you flush public toilets?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-flush-public-toilets#post-614953 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 15:56:54 +0000 googly-eyes 614953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Foot!

But in the handicap stall sometimes w/my hands...I figure a handicapped person probably has to use her hands so maybe I shouldn't get floor germs on it. ;) HabesBabe on "How do you flush public toilets?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-flush-public-toilets#post-612474 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 17:57:36 +0000 HabesBabe 612474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @katiew92081: I wonder who started the whole "foot-flushing" fad... if everyone just used their hands, then I wouldn't have to wash dirt off mine after flushing! anbanan15 on "How do you flush public toilets?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-flush-public-toilets#post-612465 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 17:55:14 +0000 anbanan15 612465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My foot!
