The Foot Flusher

There is a woman at work who flushes the toilet with her foot.

How do I know? I have been stuck beside her in a stall a few times and have curiously "observed" via feet-view only that she a) immediately upon entry grabs reams and reams of toilet paper, presumably to put on the seat before she wizzes and b) turns around after wizzing, and flushes with her foot.

I have recognized her by her shoes. I know who she is. I find her fear of germs sad, and the fact that she deposits all of the scum of Toronto during a garbage strike from the bottom of her shoe onto the handle for the next person to get on their hands.

There are a lot of germ-o-phobes where I work. I find myself sitting on the crapper fascinated by people who come in, wash their hands twice, wiz, wash their hands twice again and then open the door using a paper towel. You can almost tell which ones are going to be this way - they are often overly made-up, concerned with appearance and kind of prissy. I'd say 10% of the female component of my office falls somewhat into this category.

I have no analysis...I'm just sayin.

I am freaked out by foot flushers too. There is a sign in the bathroom on my floor at mcgill begging people to NOT flush with their feet. And yet, when I expressed my amazement that people even ENGAGE in this weird behaviour, the first three people I talked to all said they only flush with their feet and looked at me weirdly.

Women also squat over toilet seats here in Montreal, like no place I've ever seen. There is constantly piss all all over the seats. I can always tell on the 401 as I'm getting closer to Montreal, because the bathrooms in the service stations have pee all over the seat!

Grrrrrrr.
People, that's just GROSS!!!

I feel your pain, Seizure!
