I hate them!
Usually I do everything in my power to try to avoid them, but sometimes there just isnt any other option.
Why can't guys aim? I think I could hit a dime at 10 paces.
Theres just no excuse for it!
And is it so hard to flush?
Jeez! I use my foot most the time but at least I get it done!
-
why be gender specific???
i ask this about chicks everytime i am
forced to use a public restroom as well...
literally ALL of those things.
-
i'll be honest. i dont make it into the ladies room very often (just to swap tapes in my video camera) so I am not very sure what the conditions are like.
Care to give a general idea?
One warning sign is when you open the door and you feel the sticky floor. Makes me cringe.
-
ok... i dunno about all women... but for me...
well...
from what i've noticed, the floors are relatively
clean in most respects however,
here's what i hate--
its like a horror movie.
ya go in, and there before you are (let's say)
3 stalls.
ALL of them have the doors closed.
(unless, of course they have a broken lock, in
which case the door will not only fail to stay
locked, but will also flap open. this is ONLY
the case on broken lock doors)
this is the moment of truth. one MUST open the
door... but at the same time, one isn't quite
sure what lies on the other side. you tummy
clentches at this moment because ya gotta be
prepared for the worst.
from the door to the restroom to the door of the
stall, i've pretty much imagined everything
possible that COULD be awaiting on the other side
of that closed stall door.
omg... i just can't continue from this point.
but let's say that we can all assume the worst.
most of the time, i'm actually SURPRISED if i
see a clean bathroom...
so lets assume that all of the stalls are ganked.
i will not go. its that simple.
if one is clean, i'll go... and the whole time
i'm thinking about what i had just experienced
in the other remaining stalls...and how fast
i want to leave.
then i think about what kind/type of female
not necessarily LEFT that mess... but WALKED AWAY
from that mess without having the fucking
decency to flush.
GAWD!!! THAT PISSES ME OFF!!!
when i'm finishing up, i get all hot and bothered
over the sink situation next. i mean, if a girl
were to do THAT in a stall... she certainly
has no qualms about the sink.
then i shrug it off because -- why would she
think to wash her hands???
basically, i have a problem/complex about microbes.
i'll admit it.
i never TOUCH anything in a public restroom
with my bare hands. this happens occasionally
at people's houses too, it just depends on the person.
ummm... i even go as far as using a paper towel
to open, close, re-open the door to the stall,
a paper towel to turn the sink on...
and a towel to open the restroom door. sometimes
i'll use my shirt or jacket for this too.
it just depends.
ok.. i think thats enough.

I knew you hated public restrooms as well, but I'd say you probably top me.
I think that we get the better deal in that we can stand a great percentage of the time.
As far as hand contact, I try to resist that as well. If I must touch something its definately with the back of my hand.
Im serious about the foot thing though. Flushing, opening and closing doors, operating the sink, getting the soap out and sticking quarters in the condom machine can ALL be accomplished using your sneakers. It does take some practice, however.

I dislike public restrooms, I think everyone does. I think I should carry an extra pair of gloves with me when I am working so that I may keep myself clean. Hmm... not a bad idea.

PUBLIC BATHROOMS ARE THE BEST DUDES!!!!!!!!!!!!
i mean who wouldn't be charmed by the stench of urine (sometimes faeces but mostly urine), the piss on the toilet seats, the balls of toilet paper floating in the bowls (unflushed of course), the bits of toilet paper stuck on the ceiling (a juvenile pasttime i admit to have partaken in my younger and more impressionable years). actually, i'm very anal about the toilet bowl. i won't sit on the toilet seat, i wash my hands with soap twice if i feel the bathroom's too dirty to do otherwise and generally refrain from using public lavs unless absolute necessity commands me. with that said, i only use the public bathrooms of corporate buildings, restaurants, places where there are people constantly cleaning them, so it's not too bad. i try my absolute hardest to avoid university ones (because they are absolutely DISgusting).
but if you want to see disgustingpublicbathrooms, you'll have to go to asia. DON'T GET ME STARTED ON THOSE ONES!

-

hmm i heard that in some places in japan..they have toilet seats that are warmed..(u have to pay for them though..) they're kinda like seat warmers in car seats...except for a toilet..hahha interesting i know...
but yeah...a lot of asia is really 'not pleasant' to go to the washroom in...therez like a hole in the ground..and thatz it...heheh but i guess that gives ur thighs a work out....lol but still....eek hehe well that was my 2 cents on toilets in asia [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

I enjoy university bathrooms. At least the one here in my hall is very cleanly. All the guys on the floor have this mutual respect for one another... *we have to be one of the tightest (by tight I mean groupwise) wings of any floor in this building.*
The other wings have already kinda trashed their bathrooms, but ours is sparkly. You make a mess, you clean it up, otherwise the whole wing knows who it was, and we'll make you. It's that simple. We all have respect... I think that's a lesson never taught this day anymore. Respect.
BTW... we have one stall dedicated strictly to shitting, just like at EK3's workplace!
it's GREAT! never any urine on the seat, and always plenty of TP!

i don't live on university campus, not many people do (proportionally) i guess a bathroom in college (uni accomodation) wouldn't be too bad since it is like a home environment where everyone knows each other and this is your place so if you trash it, you're living with/in it. i'm talking old, dank, dark, smelly, wooden doors that are just about to fall out style university toilets. ones you would walk to the next building to avoid using.
i don't like the idea of having seat warmers in public bathrooms. i will never warm to that idea (how ungodly was that pun!) for the home, maybe. yes, asian squat toilets. theoretically, it's supposed to be more hygenic because you're not in contact with the toilet bowl but then, it just stays there until there is a big communal flush were you get to witness (if you're fortunate enough) all the excrement from other stalls going past you in a flowing river of sewage. and you have to pay for toilet paper! and if you're going to the more historical places, make damnwell sure you go in advance! advice101 for that next asian trip. other than that, tis all swell!

something about warm public restroom seats makes
me kinda uncomfortable... just in general
