What is some of your Pet Peeve's

[Fuddyduddy1952]

To add to public bathrooms...how about KNOBS! We ate at a really nice diner yesterday, except knobs! One to get in the foyer, another a few feet away getting into the restaurant. Then another leading to hallway and a fourth to men's bathroom. Wash hands (turn spigots) push soap dispenser (what's on THAT button?), button to blow dry hands. Now hands are clean () then turn two valves and two doorknobs.

Yeah, I'm not germaphobe, but that one always kind of got me, after watching the guy whose ass was just exploding in the stall next to the urinals walk out and handle all those doorknobs, without even washing his hands. Then I have to touch the same knobs, before going back to my table and handling the bread?

Most restaurants are courteous enough to have a trash can after all that, so you can carry your paper towel with you, and toss it when you're finally past all the doors. When they don't, I just stuff it in my jacket pocket, until later.

How about any bathroom with stupid electric hand driers in place of paper towels? The few that actually get hot actually work okay, but probably 9 out of every 10 just uselessly blow cold air.

I believe they act on the principal that we'll give up and wipe hands on pants.
They are touted as more sanitary, but I believe they are finding that having all of that air blowing around is worse than a trash can full of waste paper.

I always have a bandana (handkerchief) in my back pocket for such things. It's a handy thing to have.

My Grampa taught me you lift the lid and flush with your foot. That served me well enough until I realize I'd rather stop 10 miles out of town and piss on the side of the road

If I see someone doing that I like to blow the horn just for laughs.
I have a shallow life.

When I hear your horn I'm just glad you're not a cop lol

Next time anyone's in a bathroom with explosive diarrhea and someone flips the lights off...it's probably me.

Place I used to work had the bathroom lights on motion detectors, and they'd turn off like 3 minutes after detecting no motion. You learned to crap quickly there, lest you find yourself stuck in a stall in pitch darkness.

Pet Peeve - Movies where they remove the interior rear view mirror for chase scenes. I know they don't want you to see the camera in the back seat, but there are creative ways to do it while leaving it in place.
