SUMMARY:
- When you use a hand dryer, it can blow bacteria around you - even though the air coming from it is perfectly clean!
- Even though toilet paper is supposed to break down when it gets wet, there’s still a possibility of clogging if the plumbing system isn’t new or if you use too much of it.
- The “open-flush” toilets in public restrooms don’t have a lid to block all the germy microscopic droplets that come spewing out with each flush.
- The gap on the front of the seat that makes it look like a horseshoe is there because of plumbing codes. Since 1995, all public toilets must have this open seat.
- Bacteria and viruses are tiny enough to easily soak in through the paper the covers are made of.
- You can find toilet paper in different colors on the market. But most manufacturers bleach it to make it softer.
- No one knows for sure, but some think that this name appeared back in the 16th century when Sir John Harrington invented Britain’s first flushing toilet.
- In many homes, there’s a vent pipe that goes outside to the roof. When the wind blows hard above that pipe, the air pressure in it is lowered.
- Most American toilets use a syphonic system, which forcibly draws toilet water down the drain.

What do you prefer, hand dryers or paper towels?
both
Paper towels
paper towels
Hand dryers, what are the chances that the fast air flow will get you more germs than the stationary, bacteria welcoming paper?
Anything which is available at that time and some times I use my pent or shirt to dry my hands☺
I always use the corner stalls. More privacy, and there is usually more room! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I agree
I dont know ????????/????????????????????
@Emma Morgan Small stalls, disgusting.
Is that the corner one for disabled people which is why it’s bigger 🙄
@@jayleigh4642 Probably.
5:23 and also, if the lock doesn't work and somebody starts to open the door, you can just kick it shut again and they'll get the message. If they opened outwards, it would be harder to close the door again.
I have done that before at school because I forgot to lockiy
I usually go to the stall farthest from everyone lol

I didn't know there were so many facts to learn about toilets. Keep doing the very good job, Bright Side!
I've had to crawl underneath a locked bathroom stall just to get out because I had problems unlocking the door. I also had to take toliet paper to use outhouse bathrooms. Also I used hand sanitzer after using the bathrooom because they don't have running water and soap to use. I use something like fabreeze to spray in the bathroom.
Yes, BRIGHT SIDE, I learnt something new today, something I wish I had NEVER IN MY LIFE learned
Thank you!
That is confusing to read
Ik
Umm .there are I few spelling mistakes
Great video - Thank You!
#13: Lol! I live on the top floor of a high rise. N it cracks everyone up when I tell them that when its super windy out my toilet bowl water swirls & sways back & forth! As well as the pipes whistle too!
I didn't hear you mention the all important safety reason for the gap under the toilet doors, to allow access to provide medical checks and medical care until the door is opened. Which is also why there is gap at the top of stalls too!
4:35 WHY WAS HE BAREFOOT IN A PUBLIC STALL!?
and 6:19 WHY WAS HE RUBBING THE TOILET!? I'm literally dying laughing
Finally someone said it
Euh just a note about the door. One reason is missing. Privacy. In case it’s not locked opening the door inward help to see there is someone without seeing him completely!!
Teacher: what did you learn this weekend?
Me: *I LEARNED ABOUT TOILETS*
Teacher: I-
More like over quarintine
Lolllsssss
😂
i've never seen a ''don't flush topiletpaper'' sign before in my life, maybe that's just a thing for places with bad plumbing like the US?
either way having a bin full of used TP right next to the toilet sounds like one of the grossest things ever
lycos94 I’ve never seen it in the US except once in a Chinese restaurant.
I've seen 2 in Spain none in England
4:03 never mind the toilet seat,
MIND THAT HE HAS HIS PANTS ON WHILE POOPING
Lol, my brother was watching this vid with me and he said the same thing.
3:29 I always use the empty one
That's what I said 💀💀💀😂
OOOOOOOHHH ROASTED!!!
😠
I go in with someone else jkjk
Yeahhh 😂
Questioning myself on why I'm watching this, yet I continue to watch till the end.🙄
You loved it.
You just don't know yet
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Same
Same 2.

#8 You forgot that if the door is jammed, then you can always crawl under.
Imma guess *It opens inward so the other person inside can push it back easily when the other mistakenly opens it.*
True
Yeah, it happens sometimes the lock isn't working
EXACTLY the other reasons were goodish but that’s the most obvious 🙄
@@samanthastevens5191 it shows in the thumbnail
@@wandamaximoff813 I didn’t even realise 😂
My life was saved because doors aren’t all the way to floor, I passed out or had a seizure or something and my one roommate crawled under and got me out.
Why would you pass out?
so what happened on that day I have seizures
Lol
Humanity is still alive, and that makes me smile:)
Your roommate crawled under a door half an inch off the ground?
This video is the perfect crystalized message of this channel.
That being an expose of facts focused toward a paranoid conclusion.
very informative. thanks
When the door open from the inside, you can keep it closed if someone tries to push the door.
The video
Why do bathroom stalls open inward
Me
WHY IS HE GREEN
He's beast boy
I think he’s suppose to be hulk
Because he's hulk duh
That’s what I want to now 😀
@@simonadd9182 hulk has black hair and in the thumbnail he has green hair "duh"
Thank you so much for your video 🙂.
I've never seen a don't flush toilet paper sign..
Him: Why is toilet paper white??
Me:
*IT SHOWS UR TRUE COLOURS, U KNOW*
Anony Mous lol
@@user-ho1vt8vz2l 😂😅ikr😜
It's cheaper to print white than other colors
@New User you can just *BUY* it
@Memer joe mama 21 😂😅
The last one !
Thank you for your videos
My aunt came in and filled her waterbucket , as I sat on toilet, how awkward. What do you think??
Cool video
Keep it up
Amazing
When you realize your watching a video about toilets
@Francisco Alaro I think we all know lol is laughing
@Francisco Alaro u mean laughing out loud
@@clockspeed1836 no babies dont know
@@davaorodrigo222 I said we I don't think babies watch this
No no no no no no no noo noo nnoo
I prefer to chose the stall THAT ACTUALLY LOCKS!!!
4:32 Also, if someone passes out in a bathroom stall, people can pick up on it a LOT faster than if there was no gap.
What am I so amused by a toilet video😂
So that's why bathrooms doors open inward, there a hulk waiting
I like the doors that open outward. After washing my hands I don’t want to touch the door I can just push with my foot.
Think the video is talking about the stall door,
Not the door to enter a public bathroom within a building.
Depending on building codes in your area for commerical buildings , hospitals, school , ( actually many schools do not have doors to enter the bathroom. One walks thru a 3 way maze type turn, doors are on the stall, swing in. Similar as in airports )government buildings Etc.
Take a paper towel next time to pull door open while exiting after washing hands.
Everything in this video I learned it thx bright side!
KOOL INFO THNX
my doubt : how a person can go without taking off his pants ..??4:01😂😂😂😂😂😂
I use the stall that's empty!
.
We all tho..
I always use the middle bathroom stall I love it😍🥰
3:28 the middle one, sometimes I THINK of choosing the first one, but I usually I choose the 2nd or 3rd or whatever is in the middle unless I have to go really bad.
That was interesting and informative
I don't think I had ever hard of wind affecting the amount of water in the bowl of the toilet.
In my opinion the gap at the bottom of the stall door can also help if the door is stuck and your small enough to fit under.
Bright side this is a great video
I attended a school where the classroom doors opened into the hall, not inside. Many times walking in the hall, suddenly a door opened. The school still stands today. I have not been inside for many years, don't know if that still is the case. In none of the other dozen or so schools I've attended or been inside have I seen that.
I prefer the stall that has locks, toilet paper and doesn't have poo floating in the toilet already.
Me too…
I love your videos bright side they teach me cool stuff I don’t even know about .😻😻😻😻☻☻☻♞
Good very nice ❤️
BRITE SIDE you save everyone's day Thank you 🙂
2:44 I died reading that subtitle 😂😂😂😂
I've seen signs to not flush paper towels and sanitary napkins but some homes have notes about not flushing toilet papers because of plumbing issues.
I love your vids
I always go for the stalls on the end👌
I always look for the smallest stall
I can't do big spaces
1 Corinthians 15:1-4
KJV Bible
I go in the cleanest stall
Awesome
Khub valo
FINALLY GOT MY ANSWER AS TO WHY THE LEGS FALL ASLEEP WHILE ON TOILET 😭🤣
Have to admit I always wondered this too lol
IS NO ONE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE FACT THAT THE GUY ON THE THUMBNAIL IS GREEN. No? Okay.
We stan pickles
Australian Dude HULK
@@zeehighness9310 Could be beast boy. You never know.
Who am I kidding I'm a major marvel fan.
Green giants?
He's sick DOI
Haha 😂😂😂
Love the new intro
I like using the big stall/ end stall
You: why toilets are called John
Me: the’re called John?!
I didn’t know that :(
I AM NOT A TOLIET
Oooof
In United States, you shape the toilet seat.
In Mother Russia, toilet seat shapes U!!!
I use whichever which is available since usually only one or two cubicles are not occupied
I always use the stall further from the door for some reason
bright side: which stall do you usually use when using public bathrooms?
me: the empty ones
I usually use the first stall,just in case the urban legend Hanako San comes out the third stall lol
You are right
During the 1970s, TP was sometimes flora printed. Considering what TP is used for, it never mattered to me if it were white or green. LOL. White does look better. To me it's silly to be curious about why American toilets use too much water. I agree with the narrarator of this video, concerning why American toilets use the amount of water they do.
3:30 the cleanest one
In Norway, all of these facts are the other way around
I learned something new today. Last night I was sitting on the toylite to long
Entertaining
When he said if you run out of toilet paper you neighbor can help you out, I was like Seinfeld moment: Sorry b I don’t have a square to spare
Me too
Best to always carry pocket tissues on you.
yes i do use the middle stall
Well these are some secrets that are useful to know
i would choose the middle stall when i go back to school on september 8
Hi I am soper early
I went to the washroom after this video
Interesting facts 💯👊♥️
I use the stall that has nobody in it😂
4:38 And if ur stuck i are just crowling under it
I always use the stall towards the back of the bathroom
I try to use the stall at the end farthest from the door.
I always take the biggest stall
Anyone else watching this whilst sitting in the toilet?😂
I refuse
*on
M?
L ,
@@carollopez8597 ?
I use the stall under the light in my in my school but other times I just use the one closer to the door
I love the hand dryer more than paper towel
oh I thought the doors didn't touch the floor because in case of an emergency you can just slide under the door
Duh I thought the same thing ikr
I always wonder why my legs go numb why sitting on the toilet -thanks bright side 😄
Smart smart!
I wasn’t planning on watching this I was going to sleep then the coincidentally I needed to go toilet and saw this vid
Its the front stall, i just find it more convenient to the exit, pure instinct
The doors opening inward can be kicked closed if the lock is broken and another person tries to enter.
I like the video
I was really in the bathroom and this vid popped up
1st comment...❤️
But mine opens outwards😂😂
And all people coming from outside try to push it inwards🤣🤣🤣
Lol😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
4:40 it is also because if there’s a fire he can get out easy if the door Is stuck or jammed
I use whichever stall is open:)
