    Toilets are the worst. You can wash your hands all you like, but if the person before you hasn't and uses the door handle ....

      I sometimes see people take a tissue and use it to open the doors. Probably a good idea......

          When I went to Egypt with my ex it was odd that I became very ill while she did not (its usually the other way round). We then realized that I was touching the money

              Anti bacterial gel before you touch anything in Egypt. Dirty sods...

                I noticed a few doing that early in the tour and I thought "why are they bothering?". Then I got KingTut's revenge and I thought "I wish I had done that!".....

                  So true - especially on the basis of regularly hearing a flush in the cubicle followed by the occupant heading straight out of the toilet door...

                    Exactly what i do, with the tap too, all to often people walk out without washing their hands, or there are the others that think a quick splash of water and no soap is cleaning their hands.....some people are just nasty
