Princesses DO NOT pee all over the place and leave poop floating and the restroom a mess...Pigs DO.

So we went out to the nice little family owned Mexican place nearby and after a couple margaritas went to use the single women's room -
it was locked so I waited....another woman emerged from the men's, said good luck and went on her way....about 5 minutes later (and 3 women now waiting besides me) out pop 2 10-12 year old girls dressed as princesses, tiaras included...I enter to find pee all over the seat and floor and poop floating (did not hear a flush, btw).....so I used the available supplies and cleaned up before using the facilities.....(I am sure the older lady next up appreciated it)........

What the hell is wrong with people??????? I would bet that the girls learned their disgusting behavior from their parents.
First- I never used the bathroom with anyone else after I was potty trained....and second, I would never be so inconsiderate of others.

I doubt the simpletons who raise their little pigs will read this, but I had to vent...

At the coffee shop I frequent, there was a homeless dude who was finally banned from using the bathroom because of what he did in there (just him - other homeless are still welcome, with or without purchase). I've been 'next in line' after a number of people who seem to be unable to aim and/or flush.

I've seen people do unspeakable shit, as it were, to bathrooms.

It's a pain in the ass when you're out and places don't want to let you use the can... well, this is why. Because no one- certainly not someone making minimum wage or barely more- wants to clean some stranger's shit off the walls. Off the ceiling.


My total takeaway from years of working retail; 70% of the public are just in and out of there, getting what they need, not really making an impression either way. 20% of the people are fucking salt-of-the-Earth awesome, the kind of people you'll hang out with and develop friendships with.

But that other 10%....


that other 10% will make you a stone cold fucking misanthrope, if you keep at it long enough.

i use to work at a place where i had to use the restroom next door.

they actually had a problem where it wouldn't flush all the time. i think it needed to be flushed twice to actually be flushed. but anyways, all these women were using it without informing anyone of the problem. maybe they were embarrassed or something.

but i told the owner and he made some excuse but the next time i was there it flushed perfectly.

many places with public toilets are now using the annoying TP dispensers that only give out a few sheets at a time.

Number one (no pun intended), to keep TP from being pulled out too far and trailing all over the floor

and number two, to keep down the amount that can be pulled out so the toilets don't clog.

If the parents were identifiable in the restaurant, bitching at them would do nothing.

You might approach them and ask if the girls were alright. They left the toilet unflushed, and there was stool with blood in it in the toilet. You're a nurse, and that situation might be serious...IBS, rectal absess... cancer, even.

You'd recommend a doctor visit, a thorough rectal exam, and perhaps a colonoscopy for the little princess.

45. I think 90% of public toilets have pee on the seat

there's even toilet seat covers but there is still pee on the seat. I hate public toilets. I was glad to use a regular toilet in France because there public toilets are basically a hole in the ground.

how many gross rest rooms I've encountered. I sometimes wonder whether anyone flushes
the toilet anymore. It almost makes me appreciate the hole in the floor facilities
I've seen in Italy and France!

51. Their moms likely trained them that way.

I had friends with paranoid parentswho fell in two categories - those whose parents taught them to make a toilet paper nest (which then clogged the toilet) and those whose parents taught them never to touch anything in a public restroom. This means they stood over (or on) toilet seats to pee, and never flushed (because that would require them to touch the handles).

I always expect to find pee on the seats.

What really drove me nuts though was following my spouse into the restroom (whose mom gave her similar training) and encountering pee on the seat. Her explanation - she left it the way she found it.

Probably were nervous after the ordeal and forgot protocol. It's too bad no adults offered them any help.

58. Some people are taught that they can get cooties in the bathroom.
Sat Aug 24, 2013, 11:37 PM

They won't flush cause the handle has invisible poisons on it. Then they open the door with a tissue and then leave them in a pile on a floor.

Mostly mentally Ill CT's who see bacteria lurking as a hidden force where ever they go.

After using the restroom, using paper to open the door makes a lot of sense.

96. You actually can get cooties in the bathroom
Sun Aug 25, 2013, 09:52 AM

(and other places).

But only the door handle is critical. Everything else you can wash your hands after, but because many people don't - the door handles are filled with bacteria.

And - personal anecdote - we have one woman at work who never washes her hands (and occasionally leaves horrendous messes in the bathroom), and two others who insist on coming to work sick and pretending they are not. When I had two surgeries a couple of years ago and needed to be sure I didn't come down with a respiratory illness that would prevent surgery I started the practice of never touching any door handles (bathroom or otherwise). In the winter it is easy enough - I just pull my sleeve over my hand when I encounter a doorknob. Summer is a bit harder so I add a few extra handwashes. Before I started this practice I had at least two illnesses a year - since then I've had one cold each year, during the summer when clothing forces me to touch doorknobs regularly - and I'm apparently not as consistent about remembering to wash regularly as I am about avoiding doorknobs when I can.

But - that said - I don't leave them in a pile on the floor. I try to put them in the trash can in the bathroom (and more and more bathrooms are following the practice of putting trash cans by the door because of the recommendation that you open the door with a paper towel). If a trash can in the bathroom isn't convenient, I fold the towel dirty side in, take it with me, and toss it in the next receptacle I see.

One of the entries said (and I quote to the best of my recollection) "If your turds float, there's too much fat in your diet."

Another said that half of all fecal matter is composed of dead microbes.

I've been trying to reconcile the two ever since.

109. i am in no way claiming expert status on poo
Sun Aug 25, 2013, 12:22 PM

so you could be right

I am sure that several factors will affect floatiness like whether the foods digested were lighter than water when they went in
I expect anything you ate that would float before you ate it would likely float afterwards
I love du no matter what you say someone will find something to call you out on.

room. I didn't like it because there was an attendant that seemed to be hoovering over everybody. You know the type. They hand you a hand towel to dry your hands, expecting a tip.

Every now and then she would check the stall and just as my turn was coming up, she yelled out in disgust, "Ladies, will you please put your ass completely on the seat!"

on the toilet seat and then do not have the good manners to wipe the seat dry. It is bad enough that their fannies are so pure that they can't touch a public restroom seat or use toilet paper or one of those paper covers to protect themselves, but then that they do not clean up after themselves is....well...a good reason to spend eternity in wet toilet seat hell!!!!!

Sun Aug 25, 2013, 02:33 AM

sounded like she had already had a peak inside the ladies room which was why she decided to go to the men's room.

Those little girls probably went in there for something else, maybe to just wash their hands or something. I doubt they made that mess. Why did you assume they did?

a lot of assumptions in this thread. If that woman was in the men's room while the girls were in there, she couldn't have known what the girls did in there. It had to have happened before they got in there. But let's have fun trashing kids, as it's a popular pastime.

There have been times when I've gone into a stall in the ladies room and found a used sanitary napkin just lying there on the floor next to the toilet.

WTF????

Is it really so difficult to fold the damned thing on itself and roll it into a ball inside some TP and deposit it in the trash if there's no receptacle in the stall?


You would think that the womens rest room would be way cleaner than the mens room but in many cases, it's even more gross.

In fact, I'd say it's impossible if the woman coming out of the men's room knew what was in the women's room, as she couldn't possibly have seen it after the girls came out of there. Those girls probably had to wash their hands and were in that horrible bathroom to do it.

106. I once saw an elderly "seat pee'er" get called out by the Hispanic/Latina cleaning lady
Sun Aug 25, 2013, 12:15 PM
Aug 2013

She went in to clean right after the lady had left the stall and was grossed out and she knew exactly who the culprit was so she follower her right out to the sink area and called her on her misdeed.

The woman fought right back in the tone of "how dare YOU speak to me like that!" Probably went out and reported her to management.

Sun Aug 25, 2013, 03:00 PM

because of imaginary germs there. So they pee all over the seat. Then don't bother to clean it up, in any way. Just ignores the fact other people will ever want to use that toilet. Like, I used it, can't sit down because of germs of other people, but then leaving worse germs behind me is nothing. Only I matter.

I went Coachella one year and the facilities they provided were so rancid people in my group were contemplating wearing diapers for the rest of the weekend because that was the more sanitary option. Ugh...

That said I would not have attempted to clean that up myself, I would have gone to management.

and floor in my business...

Grinds my gears, because I like to keep the facilities as clean as I can.

Having said that, at least it is not the Middle-East where people LOVED to wash themselves for prayers on the toilet seat... so, you would find water everywhere and dirty feet prints all over the seat itself.




YUCK!

However, they beat us in one point in toilet etiquette... the wonderful sprayers to clean your bottom thoroughly. Toilet paper is highly overrated...
