Restroom ettiquette from the man in the can

Some bathrooms are either always occupied or are being cleaned by maintenance.

After people do their business, l I noticed that they proceed to turn on the water faucets with their dirty hands. They take their slimy, stinky hands and directly touch the water faucets thereby spreading nasty germs unecessarily in an already dirty bathroom.

There is one way one may access the water faucets without touching the handles and that is by using one's own elbow to push down the handles. This might look funny but it works.

After doing this, do not touch the paper towl dispenser with your hands, again use the elbow.

This way fewer germs are transmitted, keeping the bathroom a cleaner.

Let's not forget why you had to go in the first place. It's probably because you ate at one of the campus eateries.

The Outpost is the only food joint on lower campus that is easily accessible to journalism and engineering majors.

I have eaten there on several occasions. First I would like to say that the food is overpriced and not very tasty.

The other day I ordered a $4.50 "Chicken Pak" meal and was handed a small sandwhich that tasted quite good but the fries were not good. They were obviously reheated. When I pay good money I want good food.
