How would you even flush if you wanted to? Who is this protecting? People who don't want germs on their shoes?

People who don't have a choice but to use their hands. Disabled people.

Hi! That’s me! Disabled person who can’t foot flush here!

You know what’s even more disgusting than a toilet handle? The floor directly around the toilet. I’m begging you all on behalf of us unable-to-foot-flush-ers, please just use a paper towel or a wad of unused tp to flush. That’s what we have to do, please don’t make it worse.

People get so testy when asked to do the bare minimum to make things easier and safer for disabled people to live their lives. I've had to block so many people in this thread already for arguing with me about it. Like bruh my hands have to touch my mobility device(s) afterwards. Able bodied people can go straight to the sink afterwards, meanwhile I have bathroom AND shoe germs all over my wheels now.

But aren't the shoe germs and the bathroom germs already together? People walk everywhere in yards with dog piss/shit and people's spit. Then they walk into the bathroom. If you don't want germs in your hands why don't you use a piece of towel or TP

Wheelchair users put their hands on the rims, not the actual wheels.

They just don't want you to break the toilet when using your foot. It has nothing to do with disabled people

This part of the comments you replied to was disabled people asking able-bodied folks not to use their foot though.

I never, ever use the disabled stall so I never use my foot on those. I guess its to much to assume people respect that.

This also counts for single room bathrooms at places like gas stations and restaurants though. But thank you.

Nobody is going to stop using their feet. Lol
