Someone once said that we should never let fear run our lives or it will – not be…a...good thing…something like that. I forget the exact words and who said them. Regardless, it's true.
With that in mind, go into the nearest 7-eleven and have a seat in the restroom. It will change your life. You'll never be afraid of a public bathroom again. Rather, you'll never be afraid of ANYTHING ever again.
There are some things about public bathrooms that I just don't get. For example, garbage cans that have the spring-loaded flap that you have to push open to put your trash in. This means that in order to throw something away, you have to manually push open that dirty flap that has touched every piece of garbage in the can. And it's also a little disconcerting to feel the blast of warm air come out when you open that flap. It doesn't make sense.
Or how about this: have you ever been in the bathroom and watched someone exit their stall, walk past the sink and directly out without even a thought of washing their hands. You look at that person with disgust and think: "What a slob. How can he/she stand to walk around with dirty hands like that."
Then you make your way to the door and realize that your only way out is by grasping the handle – the same one that the dirty handed slob just used. You're stuck. You turn around to grab a paper towel to put between your hand and the handle, but there are no paper towels. Instead there is an Alcatraz-style air blower that will supposedly blow your hands dry. This style of dryer was apparently deemed more hygienic than paper towels – but it won't help you get past that disease ridden doorknob.
And suddenly you're trapped…waiting for someone else to come in so that you can exit while the door is still open. In conclusion, life is hard and sometimes dirty.

Who are you, Howard Hughes dude, Who cares man, man up walk out the door, and wipe your hands off on your shirt or pants like a real man does. Do you realize you are exposed to germs regardless of what bathroom you walk into, you shake peoples hands, give hi fives, You need to Man Up!
I have lived twenty four years now, almost twenty five, and I have opend many of a door knob, and I am still in good health. I made it two years in Brazil where streams of crap and piss are rushing down beside you as you walk through the street. I'm still alive.
First: Who is Howard Hughes?
Second: I get it, you are the guy that walks past the sink and right out the door with wet, stinky hands.
Third: Because you never start a list unless you have three things.
