    I loved Jamie Gertz in that episode. "Don't call me anymore" to Jerry... "You either..." to Kramer. Bwahahahaha.

    As for passing gas...it's a bathroom. Do what needs to be done.

    Passing gas in a restroom? I was always brought up with "As long as you're in the restroom, fire away, it's only impolite if you're in any other room of the house". No need to even excuse yourself.

    LOL. I Hate public bathrooms. I have this weird phobia of sorts about using the bathroom within earshot of other people. (I know, I am weird). I'm such a dork about it that if someone else walks in after I do, I just like, rummage around in my purse and pretend I'm busy until they leave. lol. I hate how there's sometimes like a two+ inch gap around the doors of the stalls and everyone can see right in. I made the mistake of going to a Burlington Coat Factory once in FL ... a total dump for the record... and I was in the bathroom and this trashy woman (with 'tude) walks in and stands right across from my stall door (which is only about 2 feet away from her) and just stands there, staring at me through the huge gap on the side of the door. It was so embarrassing. Finally I was like, "Seriously lady, do you mind?!" and she just kept starring at me for a good 3-4 minutes. It was like my nightmare realized. I just sat there frozen. Finally she just goes "B*tch" and walks away, then proceeds to mad-dog me when I walked out. I just looked at her again and said "seriously? what's your problem" to which she ignored me... anyway...hate public bathrooms! (and FL... and that store) lol

    What about if I'm scared there will be no paper in mine, and I might have to ask you for some...would you spare a square?

    Great episode.

    Just don't take a *kitten* on the floor in FRONT of the toilet, and I'm golden. Yes, this was a recent discovery in a public restroom that I had the joy of entering. :noway:

    Isn't it against etiquette to discuss bathroom behaviours in public?

    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.

    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!
