How to Flush a Public Toilet. 

This will change your life.

I remember when I was very young my brother took me to the bathroom. I used the toilet then I flushed it.
"What the heck are you doing," he said to me.
"What do you mean," I said.
"You don't flush a toilet like that. Never touch that with your hand," he said.
 "You do it like this," he said.
Then he showed me the "correct" way to flush a toilet.

"Ewwww," I said. "I will never touch a toilet handle with my hand again."

Years later when studies came out showing the handles were dirtier than the toilet seat I thought, "gee what a no-brainer." Now if you search the Internet many places use the flush handle as the de-facto place for germs.

Now you are left with a choice. Perhaps there are some people like me. Perhaps there are many. Unless you are at a U.S. border crossing what you do inside a cubicle is your own business. I'm sure some lack the balance to flush with their feet. I feel pity on them. They will have to use a tissue.

You will have to decide:
a) Do I flush with my hand and hope washing will get those floor germs off.
b) Do I waste paper and use it as a barrier between my hand and the foot germs on the handle.
b) Do I flush with my feet and wash my hands.

Note: You will find out in a minute if there is any soap.
