Properly pee and poop, mm-kay?

“Amazing stats in this article. Doesn't matter if you are at home or in the wild, wash and boil, people! I need to go wash my hands...

“Yah, but if you touch that nasty doorknob on the way out of the bathroom, you need to wash again.

Oops. Can't get out of the bathroom. I'll wait for someone else to open the door.

“Does this mean you're posting from inside the bathroom, bit??”

“Ain't modern networks great?”

“Um, no.”

“Damn, what an echo in here!”

“Geez doesn't anybody else in my building need to go?

Maybe it's the smell driving them away...”

“I always use the paper towel I dry my hands with to open the door.”

“Wish I'd thought of that. Now I'm stuck in the bathroom.”

“Well, that article was one big duh.”

“It's "duh" for those of us that follow proper hygiene. I'm always amazed to hear someone in the next stall over get up, flush, and walk right out the door. Blech!”

“Marine and a Harvard grad are standing next to each other at urinals ...they finish, and the Marine Zips and prepares to leave, The Harvard man says loudly,"At HAH VAAD, they taught us to wash after use of the FAH CIL ITIES"...to which the Marine replied....

"In Boot Camp, they taught us not to piss on our hands..."

Do you touch the towel handle AFTER you wash your hands or before????

My routine in a public bathroom to wash my hands. Push towel handle, do not tear paper towel off. Wash hands, leave water running (if not auto) tear off towel dry hands, use same towel to shut water off and open door. Leave”

“public bathrooms are gross. But at the bathrooms in my building, our company is the only occupant but theres about 400 of us - the poor janitor dude cleans the bathrooms at least three times during the day.”

“Are you all OCD?”

“"with 16% admitting using rocks and snow instead of toilet paper."

WTF!!! OUCH!!!111!!!three”

“Go back and read HPM's trip report on the HST, he mentioned a ranger that got creative with rocks!”

“who was it that peed on the door handle?

“Urine is sterile.












Until you touch it anyway.
BWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!”

“it was YOU bit

“Just think, in a few short weeks, we'll be sharing the same pit toilet.




I can hardly wait.”

“lol you wish

i pee in the woods, heck sometimes i do it right next to the camp fire
so there......”

“Urine is not sterile if you're sick.”

“I gotta see mapleleef whizz in the campfire.”

“How many of you bite your nails? There was a study done that found that for one, biting your nails is worse than licking the floor under a urinal in a public restroom.

Chew on!”

“Yeah, but we nail biters are going to end up with a stronger immune system!”

“What about booger-chewers?”

“I thought this thread was gonna be about this book I saw at Borders last week.

“i don't need to wash my hands, i know where my dic has been all day.
really though, is it possible to boil water at 6k meters?”

“"Furthermore, fewer than half said they always washed their hands after defecating, with 16% admitting using rocks and snow instead of toilet paper."

Whats wrong with using rocks and snow instead of toilet paper? LNT man!”

“am i the only one that can't open the site?”

“I like to flavor my Subway Sandwitches by rubbing it on the pink urinal cakes. I guess that's a bad thing eh?”

“DDX - you get more flavor from the cig butts that are in the urinal. Open, and sprinkle the insides liberally on top.”

“MOUNT PLEASANT - Jenny Van Pool wants to put a sign up on Braun Road near Interstate 94: "Want me to come take a dump in your yard?" She's upset over the dirty adult diapers that appear in the ditch on a regular basis. Friday afternoon there were nearly two dozen diapers clearly visible in the ditch and surrounding fields in the blocks of Braun Road east of Interstate 94.

Several months ago one of her neighbors put up a big wooden sign that read "Take your s*** home with you" that, for a time, effectively stopped the tide of diapers.

"As soon as it was removed, there were piles of them," Van Pool said. "Why should we living on our street have to pick up someone else's crap? You got to have gloves to pick them up. You got to have gloves. It's so nasty."

She and her future daughter-in-law, Sarah Renteria, got so sick of seeing the diapers on the roadside that they called The Journal Times. They don't know if whoever is leaving the diapers reads the paper, but they hope someone will say something and they will get embarrassed enough to knock it off.

"We know it's someone that regularly drives down there," Renteria said. "The diapers look exactly the same. They're big, huge white diapers, wrapped up. They're sitting there for so long they come apart."

The diapers appear in little piles, maybe six at a time, several days in a row. Sometimes they get cleaned up right away; others are left for months, torn open by animals and left decomposing on the side of the road.

"I won't even take a walk down there 'cause it's gross," Van Pool said.

They got curious about who was leaving the disgusting litter in their neighborhood and staked out the Braun Road overpass, but never caught anyone dumping a load of diapers.

"We have no clue," Renteria said. "It's a mystery. We never caught anyone. We kind of think it's happening at night. If they're picked up in the morning there's no more the rest of the day."

If Van Pool had caught anyone leaving the piles of diapers around, she would have taken action.

"I feel sorry if we catch the person," she said. "I'll pull their head off."

While they are angry about the human waste that litters their neighborhood, they are mystified about why the diapers keep appearing.

"The whole thing I don't get is why would you have poopy diapers in the car?" Renteria said. "You do not leave that in the car. Maybe it's because they're a little embarrassed (and don't want anyone to know they wear adult diapers). Maybe this is the next step to get them to have a little respect."

“I wonder if this was Pekka?”

“I take it you have now moved to Racine County?”

“This woman just needs to get the NSA to turn over the surveillance tapes they have of everyone in the country and figure out who is throwing their pee-pee poo-poo out.”

“Lebanon firefighters were Johnnies-on-the-spot for a man who got himself into a stinker of a situation over the weekend.
A county Emergency Management Agency dispatch that came in at 9:27 p.m. Sunday told the odd tale: “Rescue subject stuck in porta potty.”

Rescuers may have expected to find an overturned portable toilet with the unfortunate victim of a practical joke inside. Instead, when they arrived at the former Harold’s Furniture store in the 600 block of Cumberland Street, they found 31-year-old Shannon P. Hunter of Lebanon drunk, naked and wedged up to his waist in the hole of the toilet, said Deputy Fire Commissioner Chris Miller.

“I’m not sure what exactly was taking place inside the port-o-pot,” Miller said. “All I know is that the subject was wedged in the tank. ... He would only say he needed to use the bathroom, and he claimed he fell in the toilet. When I asked him why he was naked, he just shrugged his shoulders.”

The portable toilet was at the rear of the building, which is being remodeled as the new offices of Pennsylvania Counseling Services. Miller said he thinks Hunter was trapped for about 30 minutes before his yells for help alerted someone who called 9-1-1.

Because of the human waste and the formaldehyde-based chemicals in the toilet, rescuers had to put on biohazard suits to rescue Hunter, Miller said. Using liquid soap and a saw to cut away the plastic toilet, Hunter was eventually released from his predicament after about 25 minutes.

“He was wedged in tight, so we systematically had to cut pieces of the toilet away so we did not cause further harm to him,” Miller recalled. “After he was released, the subject then had to be decontaminated before he could be presented to (paramedics) so he could be evaluated and treated for scrapes and abrasions around his hips.”

The rescue workers and the immediate area surrounding the toilet also were decontaminated, Miller said.

Police Chief Bill Harvey said Hunter admitted to having seven beers at a local establishment before his excrement adventure.

“This defies sober logic,” Harvey said.

Hunter was charged with public drunkenness, police said, while Miller charged Hunter with creating a health-code violation.

“I just can't believe that drinking was involved.”

“Life in Pennsyltucky......

“That's the EAST side of the state!”

“As someone who cooks for a hobby as well as for healthy and happy living I wash my hands constantly.

Don't get me wrong - I don't believe in anti-bacterial soaps except for the occasions for which they were designed. I believe in developping a healthy immune system, but hand washing is important.

The current salmonella problem in the US is an example - one death due to salmonella in a tomatoe based hot sauce. Fast food chains are removing raw tomatoes from their food. People think we get salmonella from chickens, but we get it from salad - you prepare the chickena and put in in the oven, or on the BBQ, turn round and make the salad. Salmonella!

I would be very surprised if the salmonella ridden tomatoes had it in their pulp. I suspect the problem is from incorrect washing. I wash my hands whenever I go from one product/work station to another. I have had friends remark in a disparaging way my 'obsession' with hand washing. My friends, who all cook, follow the same practice. The hot sauce must have been uncooked. It takes relatively little heat to kill salmonella pathogens.

Yes, urine is sterile, but stool is not. I always wash my hands after a bowel movement, after I have flushed the toilet with the lid down - a flush can project fecal matter 3 metres (10 feet).

As for door knobs, computer key boards, shopping carts, et c. Normal hygene practices and a well developped immune system (lots of dirt in childhood) should suffice.

BTW, a recent study has suggested that anti-bacterial wipes found in hospitals, grocery stores and elsewhere don't kill a sufficient number of bacteria to be effective and if they are used on more than one surface will spread suriving pathogens.

Just a heads up.”

“I just heard on CNN that it was salsa.”

“I'm like you...I'm OCD about that stuff. But that comes from having been a Serv-Safe Trainer.

I hate watching people put on gloves and then take money, prepare food, touch their face, etc...all with the gloves on. Gloves need to be changed with every task - just like washing hands!

My other pet peeve is sponges that get used for EVERYTHING. Ewww!

Cross-contamination is definitely the biggest issue...many people are too lazy to do anything about it. Don't want to wash, change gloves, etc.”
