Bad habit

Post Reply New Topic

I have the habit of flushing the toilet with my foot to avoid touching the germy handle. I need to start flushing the handle with my hand because if I do it with my foot, one day I could loose my balance and break the handle. This will be annoying because I flush the toilet a lot and Ill have too wash my hands all the time. I also have the habit of picking my lower lip. I love picking the scabs on my lip. Im going to have to stop because now ill be flushing with my hand and I dont want germs to go to my mouth if I forget to wash my hands. This will be annoying. I wish I wasnt so weird and just did things like everyone else. Im afraid of getting sick from flushing the handle the normal way regardless if I pick my lip or not...

I’ve been flushing with my hand all my life.

I’m still here at age 57. Never stayed overnight in a hospital since my first days of life.

Ill bet you dont pick your lip though. Do you wash your hands after you flush?

Once in a while, I do pick my lip.

I do wash after I flush. Most people do.

I get a piece of toilet paper and push it against the flush handle. I have OCD so that may be unnecessary. It's what I do though.
