    The thing that grosses me out the most are the women who will do their business and walk right out of the bathroom. Gross, I use my elbows to open the door in restrooms that don't have paper towels, and I use the paper towel in the ones that do. I have taught my son to do the same. I don't want him touching some nasty woman's piss or worse.

    My favorite is when people talk on their freaking cell phones in a public restroom... Seriously!?

    Or when your in your stall, and you hear someone enter, walk into their stall, and all of a sudden your in a stall next to the jusiest gasiest person alive!

    I squeeze my cheeks til I am alone.

    Hahahahaha This made me laugh so hard! Thank you !

    You know being in the military a lot of this bathroom etiquette has kinda slipped. We have full conversations on the poopers, urinals or even the showers. Doesn't really matter much anymore

    I second the no talking rule. I've said this before but it bares repeating. Guys, I don't know who or what you use for a (0(k holster... so wash your damn hands.

    I do have a question as to what is considered proper etiquette for passing gas in the bathroom? Is it OK to fire at will as long as you say excuse me? Do you have to say excuse me?

    You are in the bathroom, fire away. No excuses needed.

    No, you don't. You're in the right place for that. If you were anywhere else in public then you do have to excuse yourself but not in the place you're supposed to be, lol.

    It's called a courtesy flush. For the love... :bigsmile:

    ^ This. :laugh:

    But honestly, a flush of any kind would be awesome. Thanks.

    For example: If there are six stalls, and they're all empty except for the one I'm in...why would you choose the one next to me???

    And for the record, this is not a glory hole type sitch.

    maybe they were desperate to take care of business didn't notice you in the next stall until they sat down & realized you there. then thinking "why the hell did i have to pick this stall!".

    When you walk into a batheroom with five stalls.

    Stall 1: (Ugh someone didnt flush! GROSS)
    Walk to Stall 2: (WTH people really!?!?!?) again someone didnt flush
    Stalls 3,4 and 5 are even worse!'

    Either ONE person has a phobia of flushing and **** in 5 different toilets, or there are 5 REALLY disgusting humans in the same restaraunt!

    How about people who pee ALL OVER THE SEAT and then just leave it like that - were they born in a barn or something?? If you sprinkle when you tinkle please be neat and wipe the seat!!!

    THIS.

    I hate women who hover over the seat and end up peeing all over it, then they don't wipe it off after their done. I've walked into public restrooms before and EVERY stall was like this. Seriously? If you're that concerned about butt germs build a bridge!

    Why can't people look in the bowl after they flush?!

    If there's a tampon eeking out everywhere sitting there still, or your ginormous turd is lurking, FLUSH IT AGAIN. I DON'T CARE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO LOOK AT YOUR OWN POO.

    for the love of.....!
    do not talk to me when I am in the washroom, I am not there to make small talk about the weather, I do not want to extend my stay in there longer than needs be. Smile, head nods are ok. This is my biggest pet peeve ever!

    Wash your hands..... Running them under water for 2 seconds is NOT washing your hands people!

    Please wipe anything you left behind and make sure the flush was good and all is gone.

    Get off your phone for 2 min! Had a lady next to me talking to someone the whole time.....really? does the other person need to hear you pee? Are you that important that you are just tooo busy to call em back...

    And yes if the whole row of stall is empty and you choose one next to me I will be ticked.....unless every stall is taken leave one in between.

    I was mortified to walk into a stall and find a smear of poo on the side of the toilet and can only imagin walking in and finding a pile right infront of one!!

    How much of a buffer do you require beyond the walls of your stall? Assuming they give a courtesy flush when necessary.

    Hey guys - the flusher on the urinal is for use AFTER you're done peeing, not during.

    Everytime you pull that handle, you're aerating all kinds of pee bacteria and germs that are now all over your cack...the same cack you probably won't wash your hands after handling.
  • Funniest topic EVER!!!!! Got my laugh for this morning! But I, too, have a lot of these issues....like I do have a hard time if I'm really gonna stink it up going if someone else comes in! I HATE it when people pee on the seat...seriously ladies, if you are afraid of getting something by sitting on the seat then PUT SOME TP ON IT for pete's sake! FLUSH, FLUSH, FLUSH! Wash your hands and if you get soap or water all over the sink because you are uncoordinated than WIPE IT OFF! Be considerate of the rest of us that might be using the restroom!

    So makes me lol that this is your first MFP post :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Welcome.
  • I see that I have the same as many people...why don't people just turn around for that split second it takes to make sure "all" things have gone down the drain (what ever those things may be #1, #2. or fem stuff)....and if not..flush again. Its really quite simple, I know everyone needs to use the potty but no one wants to the whole show. Then ta-da, zip up and be done.

    I don't care to know what happens in the women's restroom, but I believe that while my feet are on the tile of a bathroom, you should not be talking to me. And I won't talk to you.

    You might not have any idea how often a guy will walk up to the urinal next to you and presume that, while you are holding your wedding tackle, you would like to talk about sports or politics or general happenings.
    -wtk

    Hilarious!

    I cannot spare a square. :tongue:

    ^^^THIS^^ -_- I cant stand it! I used to share a bathroom in my office with men and women and some of the men were so dirty we had to create a sign on the door that says "Dont be in a rush, remember to flush". They've left pee, spit, turds, everything in the toilet without flushing or pee all over the seat and floor and leave it. Grrr!

    If you sat your *kitten* down in the FIRST place, there WOUDNT be any pee on the seat!!! Worse case scenario- you place your thighs on the same plastic as someone elses thighs. I've not heard yet of someone contracted some horrible disease from someone's THIGHS! You are more likely to catch something grabbing the door handle to leave with your now clean hands . . . .

    * post is not direct reply to quoted post. It is directed to those who #1 hover and pee on the seat, #2 don't wipe off their pee from the seat.
