Compare the above two quotes and you will realize why I hope they continue to offer both heights!

I do fine I have to put up with the higher ones in more and more places with my church an example of where they have used the higher ones as they have redone restrooms.

Oh, I'm all for choice in toilets..

At our church, which adjoins our Christian school, they have toilets of both heights. Most of them are short to accommodate the kids but all the ones in the handicapped accessible stalls are tall.

At our house we'll probably get the taller toilet for our master bathroom only. We'll keep shorter ones for the powder room and guest bathroom since a wider variety of people use those.

Wouldn't it be cool to have adjustable height toilets? :hmm:
 
Maybe they need to invent an easy lift toilet, like those recliners that raise up and throw you out of them with a remote.... done? (robot voice) Ejecting....(springing sound) "BOING" !!!!

I love the taller toilets.

Our MIL has to use a booster seat on her regular toilet. It is really hard to keep clean, and makes her bathroom look like a hospital facility.

My knees are bad, so when the time comes to replace our master bath toilet I will definitely get the taller kind.

Our daughter (obviously younger than us) loves the taller toilets, too. She's had juvenile rheumatoid arthritis in her knees since she was about 11 years old. It's very painful, especially in the morning. She finds the taller toilets much easier on her legs. Also, when our son-in-law isn't wearing his prosthetic leg, it makes getting up easier.

The booster seats get really gross too, my clients never clean their, they would ask their health aides to do it. It's was yucky part of my job along with wiping butts . My knees are getting bad too, they pop like the July 4th .

Yep. Same with my MIL. You figure anyone feeble enough to require a booster seat isn't strong enough to clean bathrooms either. So, they don't do it. Unless they have someone come out every day to keep up with it, it's a disaster. My MIL refuses to let anyone help her, so you can guess what it's like. When Hubby visits her, he uses public toilets instead of her's.
 
Instead of making the toilet lower, why not just make a step or something to push your feet higher?

EDIT: Lol! That's what I get for not hitting submit fast enough.

Maybe that should be an added option, Have a sensor for those who don't wash their hands and it shoots a turd onto your back on the way out the door.

I have been to a lot of places here where guys just walk out of the stall and out the door, Im like really? I have even told managers and pointed out the person at restraunts, Told them if I ever see it again I will never come back...yet I have never been back just thinking how nasty that is.
Ever had a waitress/waiter ask you if you want a refill and they pick up 3/4 glasses by the rims with their fingers and bring them back that way as well? How many others did she do that with before mine. NOPE, take it back and bring me a clean glass, anytime they handle my glass where my mouth will touch. They think Im crazy but I watch them.

Sometimes I have to go into the stall to blow my nose, or just to grab some toilet paper in case I need to blow it later. Heck, sometimes I've just gone in to change an article of clothing.

That doesn't make me unclean or worthy of having poop thrown at me!

In that case a double dose just for making people think that...lol
Nah, but just going in one, touching the door/lock...you touched something at one point that millions of others have after doing the deeds , even if I blew my nose....whatever I still wash my hands as I had to open the door to get in... I never touch the door on the way out, use my back or the hand towels and throw in the trash on the way out the door.

Your anecdote is exactly the reason why I have some kind of OCD in being in men's public restrooms, with some push from biology education.

In a public restroom, I usually roll out the paper first, then wash my hands and use the toilet/urinal before touching my junks. After I'm done, I wash hands and get the spare towel but I don't toss it away until I've used it to open the door handle.

It really sucks in some restrooms where they don't even offer the paper towel - the toilet and door handles are probably the dirtiest things in there.

No. That's unacceptable serving technique. If your server does that, he or she is not properly trained. If they did it the way you describe you don't even know if you're getting back the right glass. Ugh!

The restaurants I go to bring fresh refills to the table on a tray or pour it from a pitcher.

Servers are never supposed to pick up glasses, bowls, baskets, or plates by the inside edges.

How many others did she do that with before mine. NOPE, take it back and bring me a clean glass, anytime they handle my glass where my mouth will touch. They think Im crazy but I watch them.[/QUOTE]

If you touch the stall door at all, I hope you wash up after. Think about it--whomever just finished business in the toilet hasn't washed their hands before touching the door.

That's what your shoes are for! :naughty:
Open the doors with your foot. Handles are another story entirely though. I get a visual image of someone had a rectal/urinal disease that can be transmitted and they left it on the handle..

I don't like it.

1. Esthetics: It's always in the open position; I hate to see home toilets left open. Public toilets left open is good but not home toilets. Ugh!

that's why I used my tshirt to open the door.

makes you wonder why they don't design the door to be opened by pushing your way out without touching a handle. this is very simple and cheap to do... and sanitary.

It might be a physics thing, I'm thinking that if you really squat you put your body closer to the actual ground can change the center of gravity whereas lifting changes the height of your feet, but might not do enough to change the center of gravity - unless the material is strong enough to be stood on.
