Welcome to the return of Intelligence For Your Life! It has been a hot minute since my last post... Brotha' has been a little pre-occupied with the iminent collapse of the U.S. dollar, but that's for another conversation... Today, John shared some tips and factoids on germ caution at the public restroom which got under my skin--to say the least.
1) When using the dreaded public restroom, use the first stall/urinal from the entrance
1) When using the dreaded public restroom, use the first stall/urinal from the entrance
- The first stall offers an assortment of "leasts"...
- This stall is used the least because it offers the least privacy which in turn carries the least amount of germs
2) When washing your hands, make sure to sing the "Happy Birthday" song at least twice before turning off the tap
- By singing the celebratory tune twice, you ensure that your hands have been submersed in high-quality H2O for long enough!
- (get ready for this...) Also, hot water doesn't kill any more germs than lukewarm or cold! Many of you out there will have a hard time accepting this, but studies have found it to be true!
3) When there's only a hot-air blower available to use for hand drying--DON'T USE IT! Use a toilet seat cover if you must!
- Using the hot-air blower only blows more germs back into the restroom "germ-osphere" (germ infested atmosphere within the restroom)
4) After flushing...RUN!!!
- Make sure you make a mad dash for the door after pulling the handle!
- Flushing actually stirs up the germs in the toilet bowl and releases them into the air
- You'll wanna be out of the restroom as soon as humanly possible, unless you relish at the thought of inhaling other human urine and excrement. Whatever floats your boat or finds your lost remote!
