Some of us would have to search out a supplier of moths in bulk, particularly if we’d been eating certain foods. Maybe they could have the moths for sale on the bean aisle of the supermarket?

Hey, stop all this nasty talk! You kiss your mother with that moth!
[/QUOTE]
I use my mouth to kiss my mother (and anyone else). I had no idea a moth was supposed to be somehow involved. Am I doing it wrong?
You’re not supposed to use the same moth you use to test the odor in the bathroom to kiss people, are you? :eek:
But unless they’ve got a urinary tract infection or something like that, the spit almost certainly contains a lot more and nastier germs than the aerosolized urine would.
[QUOTE=Interrobang!?]
For some of us, at least, fear of germs has nothing to do with it. I don’t like to eat or drink anywhere I’m going to be smelling anything nasty at the same time – hot tar, cat shit, rotting meat, gasoline, rancid grease, whatever. Last time I checked, my coworkers’ farts, shit, and standing urine all smelled unpleasant, so I don’t eat or drink stuff while I can smell them.
Given that smell plays such a large role in how we taste things, I don’t think that’s an unreasonable position.

Oh, certainly. But the OP wasn’t about actually drinking while in the bathroom, it was about taking an open container in there, “doing your business”, then exiting and drinking afterwards.

True. Though part of the reason I try to avoid doing so (not to the point of compulsion, though, by any means) is I don’t really want the flavor of whatever I’m drinking to be associated with the smells of the restroom. It’s an appetite killer.
[QUOTE=Indygrrl]
No way. I wouldn’t take anything in there that I planned to put in my mouth. Plenty of people do though, and it always surprises me.
[/QUOTE]
I figure it this way: while performing my husbandly duties, my mouth gets much closer to the source of bathroom germs than the donut I leave on the sink does. If I don’t worry about the more intense contact, why would I possibly worry about the lesser?
[QUOTE=Guinastasia]
In my own bathroom at home? Sure. It’s nice to have something to drink while taking a long soak in the tub.
In public restrooms? Nope. Where do you put it when you’re in the stall? On the sink? No way.
[/QUOTE]
i’d hold it. i’ve never been in a situation in a public restroom when i was eating, but if i were, i think i’d hold the place/container in my lap or, worst case scenario…
SQUICK ALERT!!!
…place the container on the floor.
