Toilet Trivia
Let the "bathroom games" begin

By Robert Kravitz

Did you know that most people using public restrooms are really “bathroom gymnasts”?According to a study conducted by NSF International, a not-for-profit standards-development and testing and certification organization, more than 90 percent of respondents perform some type of gymnastics while in a public restroom. The study found that most users will do almost anything to avoid touching restroom surfaces, such as doors, partitions, faucets or dispenser handles.For instance, nearly 40 percent said they use their elbows to turn on electric hand-dryers. Additionally, restroom users often will push open stall doors with their elbows or bodies instead of their hands.
