The sink in the truck stop etiquette

[Fast Freddy]

I’ve seen too many people brushing their teeth, shaving, saw a guy washing his socks the other day. Just plain gross. Someone will probably brush their teeth there after he’s done with his socks.

Shouldn’t one have to get a shower to do anything other than wash their hands?

What do you think ??

Seen some actually washing their feet one at a time in the sink. And you got to love the animal that blocks each side of his nose and blows the contents into the sink....... don’t drop your toothbrush in the sink!

Yeah the foot washers that's actually quite common to see

2-3 showers per day just to brush my teeth? Not happening.

You brush your teeth 2/3 times per day

I brush twice…. Once in the morning once before bed

Public bathroom sinks should only be for washing your hands.

Or if you get all greasy working on your truck, clean the worst of it off next to your truck using the Gojo or orange hand cleaner that any rational thinking owner operator has in the side box, then you can go inside and wash your hands again and your forearms, look in the mirror and see if you got some on your face, etc.

Lots of people wash their faces several times a day to prevent acne. That's fine.

I just don't want to see some guy washing his feet or standing there with his shirt off washing his armpits. They have showers for that.

I brush my teeth once a day or if I forget every other day or so

But I do floss and rinse several times per day usually after meals

I have a system for brushing my teeth that involves a couple water bottles and not in the way those dark skinned fellers leave them in bathroom stalls.

Stems from spending a lot of nights in places there's no running water anyway.

I’m thinking brushing the teeth and such in the sink has gotta be some kind of health violation. When I was in the military out in the field we’d just use our canteen, pour the water on the toothbrush before and after.

Poor mike has probably brushed his teeth 5 minutes after someone was washing their undies.

Even with a daycab I keep a gallon of water in there just for that purpose. I need my teeth for many years to come. It takes 5 minutes to properly brush them. So what's 15 per day when I spend at least an hour staring at this damned computer discussing oral hygiene with a bunch of truck drivers?

 

[Phantom Trucker]

Same here. I carry lots of bottled water in the truck to use for brushing my teeth outside. Never in a public bathroom. The reason you're brushing is for oral health, so why do it in a filthy spot?
