Do you clean the toilet seat before using it, in a public bathroom??

Believe me, I know about woman not washing their hands. To me, that has to be one of the grossest things in the world. That was going to be my next discussion topic. :) It amazes me how people can do that and not realize the health issues that are there. NUTS!

I saw a program once on cable where they set up cameras in a ladies room and a men's room to see how many people washed their hands. Suprisingly more men wash their hands after using the bathroom than women do. The most suprising thing was that the more affluent the woman appeared, the less likely she was to wash her hands. The study said that the more affluent a woman appears the more likely she is to have on very expensive, dry clean only clothing, an expensive watch and jewelry, and almost always has her nails done. These women will almost always skip washing their hands in order to not ruin their clothes, jewelry or nails. See, I would have thought that the more affluent looking people would wash their hands more often as they tend to have completely spotless houses and such. But then the people conducting the study pointed out that the affluent do not clean their own homes, they hire people to do it, so it is not actually their own cleaning habits that we see, but those of the hired help. Also, in a poll that was conducted on toilet seats, public restrooms as the dirtiest places, but again the more affluent women don't even think about sitting on the toilet seat. Yuck! BTW, if you put your purse on teh floor of a public restroom, and lots of women do, you carry around all those nasty germs with you and then some women put their purses on their dining room tables when they get home. It really gives you something to think about. I try not to watch too much of that kind of tv as I am afraid I might become a germaphobe.
