Bathroom Etiquette

[ms.marymac]

I am also surprised at how many people don't wash their hands in public restrooms. You know they go and stick their pee/poo hands in the testers, too.

Bar bathrooms are the WORST. This one I used to go to only had two stalls and the one stall that wasn't the size of a cabinet was always occupied by people doing drugs, having sex, etc. I am serious...I was trying to pee and the stall next to me was shaking...*barf* You could have probably got a big bag of coke just from sweeping the floor. Surprisingly there was usually not an issue of human waste everywhere.

As far as I'm concerned with public bathrooms, it's a bathroom, so it may very well smell. Smell is one thing because it's expected where people do their business. Now a dirty bathroom is a whole different story.

For me, I'll do my business whenever the urge strikes me. I don't courtesy flush because I think it's wasteful (and I hate those goddamn automatic flushers that apparently know better than me when I'm done doin' my business). And not washing your hands...that's just plain nasty. That's why I prefer to dry my hands with a paper towel, and then use that towel to open the door to leave. No telling how many people have left the bathroom and not washed their hands.

Last year I posted on the bathroom door a sign saying :

Please ladies, wash your hands, its a matter of 5 seconds!

Apparently, people got frustrated of it, I heard many people complain about ''the person who posted it'' (we're about 1000 people here nobody could guess it was me). They were saying stuff like : Hey, if I don't touch the bowl I don't need to wash my hands

Ok, yeah right...

at my old work we had ONE very small, bathroom to share, it was one toilet, and one sink. and SOMEONE kept pissing all around the toilet bowl but not directly IN it, and I was DISGUSTED by this, so I made a sign, that said
" Please pee INSIDE the toilet, NOT around it-Thanks" I laminated it and taped it to the toilet tank . haha. people weren't happy but no one knew it was me

Same exact thing happened last year at my job! Some woman kept peeing on the seat of the toilet, instead of in the bowl. How do you get piss all over the seat? Are you standing up? What the hell! It was one restroom shared by all the women, so that made it even worse. Finally a note came that said, "If you choose not to do your business in the toilet, then you need to clean up after yourself." The note did seem to help. Whoever was doing this obviously had guts, because I'd be deathly afraid that someone would be waiting to use the bathroom after me...not to mention it's just a sick thing to do!

This is seriously the funniest, truest thread I have read!

CantAffordMac - I cannot stop laughing out loud reading your posts

WHY do people NOT wash their hands??? That is so disgusting...especially thinking about women sticking their fingers in the testers then...uuggh

And, what about dads bringing girls into the mens room - drives my hubby crazy!

I think bringing your kids into the bathroom, regardless of gender of child and parent, is inevitable. The key is your kid needs to be well-mannered and not do obnoxious stuff.

I grew up going to the public bathrooms with my father. I didn't gawk or do anything. I had to go, I was a small child, and I don't really think it's that safe sending a child in a bathroom alone unfortunately. Kidnapping, molestation, etc. can easily happen (yes, even women committing it).

 

[CantAffordMAC]

An old friend once announced to the class (we were having a conversation similar to this one) that she didn't usually wash her hands after using the bathroom. because its not like she pooped/peed on them.

WHAT ....THE....FUCK!? That is so disgusting to even say....you just went in there and wiped your ass and/or cooch and you're not going to wash your hands because your dirty ass didn't touch the toilet?! How smart is that? People are so disgusting. I still don't understand how women can be so nasty. I have gone to the restroom here at work and have seen everything from pee, shit, and blood all over the toilet seat. How hard is it to clean up after yourself?

Has anyone ever heard someone use the restroom and NOT wipe afterwards? I have...that was nastiest thing. I was thinking, "her underwear must be so NASTY!"

My old bf and I went to Rock and Roll McDonalds in Lafayette, Indiana (wootwoot) and he said there was CUM in the urinal. EWWW!!

Now we'll never know what the special sauce is made of in the Big Mac .....

I've never heard of a courtesy flush. I think it's wasteful of water.
Holding your bowels is really bad for you. Colon cleanse /detox for your health!
Washing hands is mandatory. I can't believe how many women don't.

I think tons of germs are spread from the flusher handle. My pediatrician told us to make sure we scrub that thing down to keep colds down. My mom made me clean toilets by hand not with those scrubby brushes. I cannot stand a gunky/gross toilet. I 'm the only girl in a house of men! I clean that thing all the ding dang time! GAG.


How bout this.. Your resturant workers who go into the bathroom to smoke or outside to smoke and don't wash their hands before they go back to work.
That is the grossness for me. I see workers smoking outside the resturant and I drive on by.

I have some OCD but still.. these are nasty nicotine fingers and germs from your mouth. Sick!

omg...how gross
I think your answer is in the urinal...LOL

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!

On another board once there was this similar subject, and you know how it is on a board. When it goes in a direction, people tend to answer the same. I mean by that, someone started saying that she didnt care not washing her hands because anyway she didint touch the bowl... and then about 80% of the people answered the same!!!

I was disgusted.

And the peing on the bowl happened here too!
In the ladies room, there was pee on the bowl everyday.
Somebody got tired of it and postered the walls with about 5 signs saying : If you dont want to sit on, at least pee in! The person continued, and I know who it is. That woman disgust me.

What kills me is that they didn't even notice that they peed or left a pubic hair or blood on the seat??? I always check to see if I left the seat nice and clean for the next person. Even if it's a hair from my head, or lint, or anything...
I think not washing your hands is sick, don't do it for you, do it for me... so when we have a potluck at work, I'm actually tempted to try the food that you brought, cause I know you wash... I can't see that you went back to your desk and used Anti-Bacterial lotion.
Also, I can't sit down if the water is still running either, and I HATE sitting down and the seat is warm from someone else... UGH!!! It seriously sickens me.
I don't hold it, when I have to go #2, doesn't matter if I'm at the mall or my homegirls house (I just go upstairs, or to the back bathroom) When it's knocking, It's knocking.
My brother's bathroom mantra is that you aren't done until your legs fall asleep...

Sorry, but there is no way in hell my husband is sending my 3 and 4 year olds into the women's room alone. So if they have to go, they have to go in the men's room. There are too many sick freaks out there to take my eyes off my kids in public.

luckily they are putting in more "Family Restrooms" at shopping malls and other large places,Basically a Co-ed Bathroom.. If my dad would have taken me into the mens restroom as a little girl I probably would have been traumatized. haha

Yeah, we utilize these as much as possible. Especially the ones with nursing stations and microwaves and tvs and toys. I am a huge fan of malls with facilities like that. But sometimes when you gotta go, you gotta go.

OMG, you guys crack me up.
Here are a few things I can't stand:
I have a co-worker who thinks it's ok to fart in front of me and I can't stand it......lol

I hate when girls talk shit on cell phone while pooping or peeping, gross and annoying.

I hate when they don't flush the toilet or pee the seat. Bitch wipe and flush!
