I think it's way worse we use TP. Smear peanut butter on your fist and try to whipe it off with TP. Bidet is they way and Japan is living in the future.

Close your toilet lid before you flush and stop dunking your toothbrush in your toilet >

Legit that’s all you have to do. I saw a pic of some research teams findings and… yep that was enough. >

Mythbusters did a segment on this. Got my ex to start putting the lid down to flush after seeing it. >

Wait but they found that no matter what it still sprays poo particles everywhere. Doesn't matter seat up or down. >

No what they found is people in that office needed to wash their GD hands better >

What are you talking about? I brush my shit in a separate room >

And I clean my teeth in the bathroom! >

When I was growing up in Australia it was very common for the toilet to be a tiny little separate room from the bathroom but with an adjoining door. >

Yeah it still is like that here >

In France it's highly common to have separate rooms for toilets and baths+sinks >

Yep, so you poo in one room and then use the doors to get to the other to wash your hands... Yummy poo all over the door handles and taps... Those same taps you then use when brushing your teeth >

If you have poo all over your hands after wiping then you’re doing it wrong. Also, stop licking the doorknobs. Poo does mot equal yummy. >

So you're telling me you don't wash your hands after going to the toilet, interesting.... >

Where did you get that idea from? I just don’t smear poo on the doorknobs and lick my fingers like you apparently do.
And, if we use your rule of poo particles getting on surfaces prior to washing then surely your taps are contaminated? Your freshly washed hands will then get grotty again when you switch off the water. Or do you wash your hands like a surgeon? >

So why do you wash your hands if there isn't poo or any dirt on them from going to the toilet? 
I wash my hands in the same room as my toilet... I also clean the bathroom so my tooth brush etc aren't covered in crap. If the sink is in another room to the toilet, the door handles are covered in poo particles as you have no way to get out of the room without touching the door handle... >

How do you manage in public toilets? Ewww other people’s crap on the flush button, the lock, and the taps. >

The Mythbusters did a test to see how much contamination might get onto a toothbrush in various places in a bathroom. They basically just left them in different spot for a few days and then had them tested for Fecal coliform bacteria, usually associated with the intestines of warm blooded animals. They also had a couple control brushes under a glass on a table in the middle of the shop.
When they got the results back every single brush tested positive. Including the controls. >

Fuck. >

My sink and toothbrush are in a separate room. I can close of my shower and toilet if I want >

I think this is more common in the US than it is in many other places in the world. >

It's common in Norway too >

No, what's gross is people who have cats and put the litter tray in the kitchen. >

My family has mine right when you walk in from the garage, although they bring their shitty paws onto all the furniture and counters >

Sometimes I even eat while pooping so I can imagine it’s turning to poop in real time. >

What the fuck >

I believe MythBusters concluded you’re screwed no matter which room you keep your toothbrush. Poop particles find a way. >

"Poop particles find a way." - facsimile_ >

Nobody forces you to shit and brush your teeth in the same room . >

Just talk a walk around your house like us normal people do >

Guys put your toothbrush in a cabinet or drawer when you are done using it. >

So mold instead of poop. Honestly not the worst trade off >

I find that mine dries off so no mold, plus I get new tooth brushes probably more often than the average bear. >

If you think that's gross, wait til you find out that your source of drinking water is the same place your shit gets dumped. >

You mean the tap water? >

Depends how clean you keep that room. For germ and aesthetic reasons I store my toothbrush in my mirror cabinet with everything else. 
Remember kids, if you’re going to take pride in a clean room….make it the bathroom. >

The word "we" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.
Plenty of people have toilets in different rooms from where they brush their teeth. >

It’s kind of gross that you have a stomach full of shit but here we are. Lol this ain’t a shower thought. It’s real life. >

I must be weird because my body stores shit in my intestines, not my stomach. >

True, if there's shit in your stomach, you need medical help. Urgently. >

I pretty much have a no pooping rule in my bathroom. You can use the downstairs toilet for that purpose. >

I only poop upstairs >

I only poop on the stairs >

I only poop >

I actually brush in the kitchen because I had that shower thought too >

It’s gross we shit, like shouldn’t we be past this disgusting and stupid thing already! God!! >

Or....you couldn't not do that.  Bam!!! LPT right there.  Brush your teeth not in the poop factory. >

Couldnt not, as in you could... >

to live in an unlivable place >

Speak for yourself! None of this fucking “we” bs. I brush my teeth in the shower. My toilet is in a separate room with just itself and a sink to wash your hands. 
You’re just nasty my man >

Just close the toilet lid tho. I know it doesn't entirely solve the problem... But it's my biggest pet peeve to see the toilet lid open. Like gross. >

In old houses, when they first moved the toilet inside from the out house, it was kept separate  from the washroom/bathroom. Shit molecules actually float in the air like tiny fart bubbles... >

Why? Your mouth has the very same stuff that come out from your ass. >

Always put the seat down before flushing and I don’t leave my toothbrush in the bathroom. >

I toured a house a few years ago, and saw that they had a huge bathroom, with the toilet inside a smaller room, with its own door, completely enclosed by the bathroom.  I thought it was funny that the bathroom had its own bathroom, but I guess this is a reason why it might be a good feature. >

It's also gross you lay in one specific spot for over 6 hours every night, building up dead skin cells, probably farting, possibly drooling, losing hair, natural oils and such rubbing off from your skin from the day, and you steam it all like a steambun under a blanket, probably only cleaning the bedding once or twice a month at best.
That's acceptable but apparently the bathing/washing room isn't appropriate for all types of bodily maintenance? Yall don't like, clean your toothbrush a little bit before you use it? >


drooling, loosing hair,  

Did you mean to say "losing"?
Explanation: Loose is an adjective meaning the opposite of tight, while lose is a verb.

Yeah a lot of stuff happens in the bedroom now that I think about it >

There's a wall with a doorway between the toilet area and the sink/bath/shower area in my bathroom. >

Keep your toothbrush in the cupboards! Gross to leave it out. Not only poop, but anything else that is floating by. >

Ooooh! They did a Myth Busters about this and it turns out that there's fecal matter everywhere! Even thr "control" toothbrush they put in an air tight case had fecal matter.
Turns out a little bit won't kill you. >

It's pretty gross that we even shit indoors. We didn't use to. Then after we did, some dirty bugger thought attaching a shit stall to your bedroom might be nice. Lazy bastard. That's only a step away from a chamber pot.
There's nothing like hearing a big job being done in there, or getting a waft of the smell coming through as they open the door to kill any romantic thoughts stone dead.
"Ooooh, you have an en suite bathroom, nice!". No, no it isn't. >

I used to work with a man who told me his father once said. " it's just wrong for a grown man to shit in the house"
