One thing that we all seem to be conscious of these days is the spread of germs.  We all seem to go out of our way to avoid them.  Sometimes we do not realize that most germs are spread by hand contact.  Of course the public restroom has become the place were most germs are passed.  People go out of there way to avoid touching anything in a public restroom.  With the fear of people not washing their hands after they use the restroom the solution seems to be to not use your hands at all.
