Comments on: Touchless Toilet Paper Dispenser for Public Bathrooms http://www.neatorama.com/2007/07/10/touchless-tissue-dispenser-for-public-bathrooms/ The Neat Side of the Web Thu, 21 Aug 2008 21:47:01 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Nora http://www.neatorama.com/2007/07/10/touchless-tissue-dispenser-for-public-bathrooms/#comment-152759 Nora Fri, 13 Jul 2007 01:56:07 +0000 http://www.neatorama.com/2007/07/10/touchless-tissue-dispenser-for-public-bathrooms/#comment-152759 Are people becoming more germaphobic, or is being cautious of germs more acceptable these days? I never used to consider myself squemish about germs but there are some definite things I won't touch willingly. For me: Public Restrooms #1 gross place (every part inside. yuck.), motel/hotel rooms #2 (phone, remote, and comforter that rarely get cleaned), grocery stores #3 (Shopping cart handle, checkout pens, and card readers) The irony of it all? I love swimming in rivers, and love the outdoors (ticks, biting bugs, etc), and love picking wild fruit and nibbling them straight from the vine (mmm blackberries!) So natural germs don't bother me. Dunno why. The germs of "possibly sick" strangers though? eeeeek. :P Are people becoming more germaphobic, or is being cautious of germs more acceptable these days?

What I don't like is this just puts professional bum-wipers out of work. Same as an ordinary one, Miss Cellania.
