public bathroom hygiene

[matt5]

I cannot believe the state I found many public bathrooms in. I wont go into any detail about what I see as I am sure you know what I am talking about but I just cant believe how people behave like such pigs. I really want to meet these people who this and ask them "what is wrong with you?"

Seriously aren't we supposed to be toilet trained by the age of five?

Apparently not for the a signficant portion of the population. I just can't believe people behave like this :angry1:

[matt2791]

My aim is true, and I always wash my hands.

[beatlegirl9977]

I think it depends on how diligent the maintenance staff is, too... I've seen some public bathrooms that are really nice (probably cleaner than my bathroom at home!) and others that...well, I preferred waiting 'til I got home. And I NEVER walk out of one without washing my hands; to not do so is just gross.

[beatlelover45223]

A thing that gripes me, is those stupid doors, you have to pull toward you to get out, no paper towels to grab the handle with, they have those darn blowers! :rolleyes:
I also will not sit directly on any seat without lining it with TP if there are no seat covers :afraid2:
It is amazing how many people walk out without washing their paws :bigeyes1:

[beatlebangs1964]

I've seen appallingly filthy public bathrooms and I've also seen immaculate ones. Like BG said, the diligence of the staff has a lot to do with it.

Men aren't the only ones with poor aims. Let's just say that many women leave their mark as well. And another thing - I have never heard of men leaving lipstick smears on things. IKKK!

Say Matt, isn't 5 a little late to learn toileting? Most people learn by 2ish.

[pattiboyd's slave]

Yikes!

ooops :blush2: It's been awhile for me so I didn't remember :smile2:

I never go into a public bathroom. Not safe in my town!:afraid2:

I know what you mean about people being slobs. I worked in retail for a while when I was 18 and one of my jobs was to clean out the women's dressing room in a discount department store. I mean, this was where people were supposed to be trying on clothes to see if they fit and what would I find in there? Used diapers, people's garbage, food wrappers, all manner of other gross things. I imagine the restrooms were even worse. Yuuuuuuck.

[VersusBatman]

I hate it when public restrooms have air fresheners that are over powering. There is one in the grocery store that is so strong that my stomach turns and I get dizzy. I just want them to smell clean.

[beatlebangs1964]

I've worked in department stores where people used the fitting room for a rest room. The dirty diapers and used tampons/napkins were bad enough, but once on my watch a customer not only used the fitting room for her personal toilet, but used the dresses she tried on for toilet paper! IKKKKKK! :barf4: :dead1:

We had to call the Housekeeping people up as this posed a health hazard. I know it was a grown person who did this as there were no children who passed through on my watch that day. The customer, whoever she was thought the fitting room was a bathroom and proceeded to use it accordingly.

[VersusBatman]

You're kidding me! Words cannot express how gross that is.

[beatlebangs1964]

There are some nasty ass people in this world, Bat. Sad, but true.

[VersusBatman]

I haven't used a K-mart bathroom in years since the one time i went to one and all the toilets were overflowing with human waste.

[beatlebangs1964]

:dead1: :barf1: :dead1: :barf2: :dead1: :barf3: :dead1: :barf4:

Bat, my face is a grassy shade of green right now. I can't stand fecal images.
I am going against my own grain, but this is relevant to what you said.

At Barnes & Noble north of where I live, somebody had the squirts and
spray painted two booths brown. Their fecal mural was sickening! I
staggered out of there, green faced and very, very queasy. :dead1:

[VersusBatman]

See, that's why I don't understand why people think South Park's Mr. Hanky is funny. What is funny about a talking piece of poo?

Mm, I'm hungry. What's for dinner?

[beatlebangs1964]

I don't get it either, Bat. Mr. Hanky made me sick to my stomach. What in the blue hell is funny about a bowel movement and why on earth would anybody want a picture of a stool on their tee shirt?

I had some guests over a few years ago and "South Park" featured the episode where Kyle smeared the bathroom. I had to leave. I just could not watch that. I actually got so sick to my stomach I was racing for the bathroom! :barf4: The words "poo" and "poop" in any tense make me nauseous. Despite my input on this thread (which was for me an effort), I have a weak stomach/constitution when it comes to fecal images. Even George Harrison's fecal tale in "Anthology" made me a little queasy.

[VersusBatman]

What fecal tale?

[Roxy Starkey]

I try not to go to public bathrooms... they are disgusting really.

Once I was so in a hurry I had to go to the bathroom of a gas station :afraid2: Never seen that many roaches together in my whole life....

The bathrooms on the night clubs are gross too... so dirty... Besides, I think almost none of the public bathrooms here have toilet paper, and that is just gross, you know, we women need it!!!

[VersusBatman]

You might as well use an outhouse.

[beatlebangs1964]

What fecal tale?

Just read George's chapter when he talks about his boyhood.

I try not to use public johns either, but when nature calls...however, there are some clean johns. Use a hotel bathroom or one in a nice restaurant if you get caught out and need a pit stop and you increase your chances of using a clean facility. There are no guarantees, but that does increase your chances of something clean and usable.

[VersusBatman]

Oh the book! I'll have to borrow it from my brother(I so want it).

It galls me when women who breastfeed are told to use the restroom. Excuse me? Would you eat in the restroom?

[motherTheresa]

I cannot believe the state I found many public bathrooms in.


which state was it, matt? btw, i didn't know you had states in canada.

:confused: i'm woefully uninformed about your beautiful country, i'm

sorry to say.....however, it's been so long since i was in school that

perhaps canada didn't exist at that time.

[matt5]

yikes!!! maybe I shouldn't have made this thread :cross2:

[motherTheresa]

yikes!!! maybe I shouldn't have made this thread :cross2:


well....................:ignore:

[Ana_Lennon]

What I'm going to say can be disgusting...

I guess women bathrooms are worse than men bathroom (I can only guess... :tongue1: ) I say it because we need paper to clean (or maybe need to cover something...)and 90% of the times there isn't paper, and they use anything and throw it to the bin, showing it to everybody who comes behind them...

But I have a friend who always say that women's bathrooms are cleaner because we never really sit down on the toilets :laugh5:

I agree with your friend.I work in construction and I have to use port a potty and let me tell ya, women a much cleaner than men.We tend to not do #2 in there if it's at all possible.We save that for home.Men on the other hand eat tacos & pizza during break and soon or later it's gonna come out.Women also don't write obcenities on the walls cause we do our business and get out.Men on the other hand sit in there and write sick poems.I usually bitch like crazy until they give in and give us our seperate potties.I squat & aim and have become pretty damn good at it!

Lucky if you find a public loo over here.
