I never wash my hands at a public rest room... I always assume my thing is much cleaner than the faucet.. at least I know where it has been and who might have touched it, as opposed to a public faucet.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reposed Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Was in the restroom at a Tex-Mex restaurant in the States last year, peeing while holding my breath, before being seated.... Sounds from a stall that defy description, then a roll being yanked on repeatedly, then the door opened, a guy walked out, bypassed the sinks, and left. I did too, except I wasn't wearing a cook's uniform. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaking hands the least of ur problems lol You need to change the class of restaurants you patronise. How do you know what all Thai chefs do, anyway?

I lived in Nayarit for years and you cannot even flush paper; it is tossed in a trash can next to the toilet. Some lack lids which only enhances the olfactory experience. Don't get me wrong, I love Mexicans. Most are genuinely nice, and their houses are spotless and their clothes always smell of detergent. For the life of me, I cannot understand their thinking when it comes to toilet practices. I have never had food poisoning in LOS. In Mexico, I lost count. One of the reasons I left. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
