I've tried this, and it's just not the same for some reason. Perhaps because I'm a little more aware of the cream and sugar going into the coffee when I'm doing it myself.

Ignorance is bliss.

It's like they are taught to do that.

Had my first cup of Tim's coffee a couple weeks ago. I didn't particularly enjoy it.

This is a good compromise, definitely do-able...

It was actually drilled into my head by the guys at Tim's NOT to do that when I worked there, I don't understand why people do that.

Yup same here. Not sure if they throw a pinch of crack into the store boughts or what. Just not the same at home. Matter of fact a guy I work with even went and bought the official tim's coffee maker that they sell, along with the coffee. He said it still isn't the same as the store's.

Why not use one of the reusable cups and keep the lid so you can put it back on yourself?

With all due respect, I like to look at it the other way around. People have become fat and lazy, and can't wash their hands properly or at all, after using the toilet, and sneezing warm slimy snot all over their hands.

I always see them do this, but how never really thought about how gross it is. Now I will be paranoid too. Fortunately, I don't drink Tims much anymore as I've grown to like other coffees more.

Agreed. Just from being in public washrooms, I'm absolutely floored how few guys wash their hands after going to the bathroom(I wonder what the ratio is in the women's washroom). I seriously would say its about 50/50 for people who wash to people who don't. Disgusting. I don't even like touching the bathroom door handle on the way out, and I'm by no means a germaphobe. People are gross.

As for the sneezing bit, I'm actually impressed with how many people have seamlessly transfered to the cough/sneeze into the crook of their arm thing after years of being programmed to sneeze into their hands. I was in a junior high last week and I'd say pretty much every kid coughs into the crook of their arm. I guess at least something good has come out of the extreme paranoia that is the H1N1 flu this year.

So if my hands are clean going into the bathroom and I manage to drain the lizard without soiling my hands, why MUST I wash my hands?

This I do not understand. If you are pooping, yes it makes sense, but If I am using a urinal, why would I wash my hands. I don't pee on my hands, and I only touch the side of my wang when I pee. I don't use my hand to redirect the flow of urine, which in fact is actually quite sterile even if I did. There are numerous parts of the body far dirty than side of the wang skin. If people sratch their armpit, they dont wash their hands, itch their ear they don't, pick their nose, scratch their butt... you name it, I see people all the time doing these things without washing their hands, and all of these are dirtier than side wang skin. Your BREATH is dirtier than side wang skin. But I just deal with it and smell your stinky tuna sandwich halitosis breath. I make it a point to not touch anyting in a public washroom, especially the taps on sinks which people touch with their pooey hands. I would bet the filthiest thing in a public washroom, in the device you wash your hands with.

I always carry a dozen or so napkins (pengrowth sadddledome ones lol) in my pocket so I do not have to touch the door handle on the washroom going in or out.

Would you mind shaking my hand, or maybe sharing a bowl of popcorn or peanuts with me just after I shook the dribbles off?

I agree with pretty much everything here except i pretty much always wash my hands. I like how most of the washrooms nowadays have mothion sensor everything, including towel dispenser. if its a twisty tap i take a towel first to twist it.

Im not a germaphobe by any means, actually pretty much the opposite, but bathrooms creep me out. But its actually a fact that there is more germs in a kitchen sink than in your toilet.
