ABOUT THIS EPISODE
The Shulhan Aruch in Siman 308:7-11 discusses the Mukse status of utensils that generally would be discarded, for example, a broken needle. Generally, such items are Mukse on Shabbat, even though they may have some other minor function.
The Poskim discuss whether a perfectly useable vessel that was thrown away before Shabbat, for whatever reason, becomes Mukse. For example, if someone throws a nice shirt in the garbage before Shabbat, does it now become Mukse on Shabbat, if someone would want to take it out? The Tosafot rule that it does not become Mukse; since his action was a deviation from the norm, it is overridden by the common sense of the general population. The Mishna Berura (Rav Yisrael Meir Kagan of Radin, 1839-1933) discusses the case of someone who threw out a perfectly good sitting mat and concurs with this ruling.

acham Ovadia Yosef ruled that when washing one's hands is required, one should not use for this purpose a sink in a restroom, where a toilet is present. The Talmud speaks of the "Persian restrooms" which do not have the halachic status of a restroom because the bodily waste immediately falls throug…
The Yesod Ve'shoresh Ha'aboda (Rav Alexander Siskind of Grodno, d. 1794) writes that the impurity that descends upon the hands in the restroom is equivalent in severity to the impurity that descends upon the hands overnight while one sleeps.

After a person bathes or showers, he must wash his hands, despite the fact that his hands are, quite obviously, clean, due to a mild spirit of impurity that descends upon the hands in a bathhouse, even in a private bathing room. As this impurity is very slight, it suffices to simply place one's han…
Halacha requires washing one's hands after he cuts his fingernails or toenails, regardless if he used scissors, a clipper or his teeth, and regardless if he cut all the nails, just one nail, or even just part of a nail.
