This gives me the Yeebee-Jeebees

Whatever that is, I've been living with it my whole life. What am I trying to avoid? Some form of paranoia?

If we can convince the entire population to be germaphobes. it means coming up with products to settle the minds of all these paranoid people.

I guess that's a legitimate market.

Well, we've seen recent proof that paranoia is extremely lucrative.

Oh, if only Pfizer would invent a self-closing-before-flush toilet. ❤️
 
There's a contraption that turns the toilet into a bidet, to use after........UGH, that's one combo I don't think is a clean option? Am I wrong? How can your filthy toilet also clean you up? o_O

Is it a ‘closet’ in the main bathroom? Is there also a sink in that room, if it’s not part of the main bathroom. In Australia in someone’s house, I used the toilet and there was no sink. Had to walk into the separate bathroom to wash my hands.

That's always puzzled me, too. Then I saw a bidet that has two bowls, one for dumping, one for washing. But maybe that's the deluxe model for particularly paranoid people.

Yes, the toilet closet only has a toilet in it.

They do have those in the US, but they only became really popular in the 80s.
 
The one I'm talking about uses your same bowl as your business does. I repeat, UGH! A bidet is to be sanitary, and I can't see how one bowl could do that.
 
Meh... Our house when I was a kid was unsewered. The loo was an outhouse away from the house in the backyard and the night cart came once a week to take away the full can and replace it with an empty one. We always closed the lid to keep the blowflies out but even so Mum would have to splash some kerosene into the pan to control the larvae. It had some rather interesting spiders that I remember, but thankfully, no red backs under the seat. (y)

Do I worry about closing the lid of our inside toilet? Nah. I just ask people to remember to flush when finished. Also, it is not actually in the bathroom so I've never had to think about it before.

Me and my kids lived for years having to use an outhouse, but I kind of liked the opportunities to scan the surrounds for critters like wolves and snakes on the way to the "mini cabin." My daughter was afraid of going out to the mini, so she used her Raggedy Ann potty-chair for a bit longer than your average little girl.

No it's a totally separate room from the bathroom. Fully tiled Brick wall between the 2 rooms.. There is no sink in the toilet .. (room)..you have to go to the next room, Bathroom.. to wash hands..

This is not mine.. but this is the type of set -up..

Murrmurr...
First time I told someone about closing the toilet lid....the person laughed.
Then I also showed a video ...the look on their face was so comical!
We have separate toilets, but they have wash basins.
Makes sense because when you finish your business, leaving a toilet without a sink to wash hands, is also leaving matter on the doorknobs etc. etc.

That reminded me of my nighttime drive back from Reno to CA. I stopped in a gas station restroom in the middle of the desert around 1:00 am on a hot summer night. Luckily, I collect flashlights.
The restroom was dark & my powerful keychain-sized flashlight probably saved my life, or at least a trip to the ER.
I was just about to walk to the toilet when I turned on the light. On the wall just behind the toilet were webs & 4 huge Black Widows.
On the floor, where my foot would have been, was a Mojave Green Rattlesnake (which has both hemo toxic & neuro toxic venom.)
 
Related.

I got a black light because I have a puppy and I wanted to make sure he wasn’t peeing inside when I wasn’t looking.

He wasn’t. But damn!! The Guest room toilet that I thought was sterile….ISN’T!!!! 😫😱

But there were slot-machines, right? (unless you were already in Calif)

Okay, so you flush...then run to open the door to get out of the spray in the confined space?

As far as the toothbrushes go, just dip them in Listerine which will kill about any germ, especially if someone in the house has a cold or flu.
