Or when your in a stall, and you hear the feet pacing in front of your door. HHHEEELLLOOO!!!! I WAS HERE FIRST!
Lol.
Or when peoples kids that are like 5 or 6 try to climb underneath your stall AND THE MOM SAYS NOTHING!
Not me!! I'm the mom yelling at her kids... dont go under there, dont touch ANYTHING!!! people must laugh at me!!! lol. oh well, that's life w/a 3yr old & 6 yr old.0 -
It takes a lot to gross me out, but in my old office there was a woman who was apparently fond of wiping her boogers on the wall while she did her business. The first time I noticed, I started gagging and had to use a different floor's bathroom. We mentioned it to the cleaning people and they cleaned it up. The next day there was even more. There is freakin' toilet paper right there, nasty lady. Eventually the cleaning people said they weren't cleaning it up anymore because it got so gross. I still almost gag thinking about it.0

This string is great, all of my bathroom pet peeves have been listed. There should be laws against these sort of things!!!0

I hate it when they are on their phone talking....HELLO Hang up for 2 minutes, really!>! Ugh...So I flush once for me, and a few extras so the person on the other end of their phone knows what they are REALLY doing.
Seriously. I"m always thinking, "you can't just call them back when you get finished in there" Especially when they're in the stall, the phone rings and they ANSWER. Like really? You weren't even mid-conversation and you felt like you just had to answer the phone?
I'm a teacher and I run into this type of thing a lot in the girls restroom at school. The kids go into the restroom all the time to talk on the phone during class. Since I'm in the restroom and feel like I don't want to be yelling at kids while I'm sorta off-duty per say, I just go in and turn on every hand dryer I can. The hand dryers are quite noisy . The kids get the idea, hang up, and leave :bigsmile: . Works every time :laugh: 0 -
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!
It drives me crazy as well about flushing then I started to think that it might be kids who go in alone and cannot figure out where that little button is to flush.0 -
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!
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.
Like I said, if women are really afraid of butt germs they don't have to hover, just build a bridge with toliet paper, or many restrooms are stocked with those paper toliet seat covers.
Or, hell, I always have planted my bare *kitten* on the seat (with the exception if there is something gross on the seat) and I've never caught anything. I think it comes from that old myth you can catch an STD from sitting on a public toliet seat.0 -

:noway: for real?
HAHAHAA:laugh: :laugh: :sad: :laugh: :laugh:
I'm so sorry, but if a little kid popped his head under my stall, I would be in the right position because that would def scare the #2 out of me.0 -
This drives me nuts too! Yes we have a cleaning staff that comes around daily to clean bathrooms.....This DOES NOT give you the excuse to be a pig! especially when we have 2 garbage bins at either end of the room.....When you and 3 others are drying/washing your hands. Woman 1 is done before you, tosses her towel ON THE FLOOR. Woman #2 leaves hers on the counter, and woman #3 CLEARLY missed the trashcan, SAW IT, and walked away.
How hard is bending over? Unless you have a painful medical condition not ALLOWING YOU to bend over, or are in a wheel chair, PICK IT UP!0 -
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
So true! But there are still some really gross people in the military, too.0 -
I had a Health teacher in high school who (and I remember this so, so vividly) used to tell us about conserving water and how she would only flush her toilet at the end of the day regardless of the number of times she had to use the bathroom. I also remember her mentioning she has taught this to her sons and husband as well.
Funny, I don't remember high school much but this stuck with me.0 -
The worst thing I ever saw, and it was at work which made it worse.
One of my clients needed to use the restroom so of course I let her, she was in there for more than a few minutes so I knew what was going on. I needed to pee but I waited for about twenty minutes so that the smell wouldn't be so bad.
Well when I went into the bathroom the only smell was some type of Glade we had in there....BUT wiggling on the toilet seat was a MotherF'in maggot.
I went and pee'd outside.0 -
There is a woman that I work with occasionally that has such drama in her life that she.. on purpose.. goes to the bathroom (which has two stalls, a shower and a bench) to discuss her issues about her boyfriend. She sits on the bench, talks on the phone and glares at whomever comes in to use the facilities. IT IS A BATHROOM! Do not glare at me because I have to pee, I drink tons of water during the day so I have to pee often! I do not want to hear about your problems and I'm sure the person you are talking to doesn't want to hear the toilet flush. Ug! It drives me insane! There is a lunch room that isn't very busy that she could use, or she could go outside. So rude!
Next time I will flush a couple extra times like someone previous mentioned.0 -

ETA: Aaaannnd I don't think it was a "maggot", my friend.0 -
When someone decides to talk to you for 20 minutes in the bathroom?!
I hate going in there because everyone expects you to talk o.O
But I do think it's creepy when you walk in and someone is doing #2 and they just sit there, making NO sound, until you leave. You know they are listening to you.
And jeez women, do you NOT see the gallons of pee on the seat when you get up?! How do you not notice that, and HOW do you piss all over the seat! We practically have our equipment in the toilet! We're all respectable adults and there are still people and piss on the seat or don't flush. I don't understand! We're geneticists, you should know that you can't catch anything from sitting!0 -

Oh I am pretty sure it was a maggot, I mean I didn't pick it up and tastes it or anything. But I have seen a few in my days and this definitely looked and moved like one.0 -
blood.. ON THE TOILET SEAT... enough said..0
-
OP: AGREE! I hate that. I don’t want to sit close to someone in a cubical or anyone in my bubble. A small wall that close to me is so within the bubble space I want when when am doing my business half naked!
I also think it funny when I go into the bathroom and two or more ladies are playing the wait-till-everyone-leaves- to-crap game! It only lets me know when I see you come out what you were doing. HAHA
Or the Clear-you-throat so called dropping sound distraction.
Oh and when someone passes gas I have to grab some cleaner from the dispenser by the door and jet out because even at 39 I still crack up! HAHA Classy!0 -
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.
i know!!!!!! and then yesterday, i walk out of the elevator into the first floor bathroom to take care of some deuce action....and the cleaning lady follows me in. proceeds to do all her cleaning right in front of my stall. of course, i had to poop, so i did while flushing to minimize noise....and then after i'm done, i walk out, and she says in her pidgin english, "so sorrry." yeah, i bet you are. i gave her a look and left.0 -

Pretty sure it was just a worm. People get them like animals do. They do look like maggots.0 -
I can't stand it, when someone drops the kids off at the pool, and then doesn't flush. We have someone on our floor at work who does this all the freakin' time. Congrats if it's epic, but we don't all need to see it!0

As for the women who flush tampons down the loo - um....do you not have sanitary bins to put these in? Same goes for towels as well.
We flush tampons. I'm not putting a used one in the trash.0 -
It's makes it easier for conversation. We'd be yelling otherwise.....:drinker:0

OMG! This happens to me constantly! Especially the kid invasion. Seriously, why would any mom want their child's hands on that nasty floor? This I do not get!0 -
I'm there for one reason and one reason only. Take care of business and get out. Do not talk to me unless I am on fire. And never ever, ever take the stall next to me. EVER!!0

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.
That's the difference between mena nd women. Women go to the bathroom to pass gas. Men, the whole world is our stage!0 -
This sort of weirds me out, too. Same for people who sit right next to you in a nearly empty movie theater.
OMG yes... last weekend a guy with 5 children about 8 years old sat right behind my fiance and I when the WHOLE theater was open... needless to say we had to move because the kids wouldn't shut up...0 -
There is a nurse here where I work that hangs out in the ladies locker room on her off time (waiting for the bus) and everytime people walk in the restroom, she strikes up a conversation with them... me included, only I do not respond once I'm in the stall.0
-
OMNgs... the car thing drives me crazy (no pun intended)... my last car wanted dented on both sides... both doors ... and I never hit anyone ... although someone told me it was payback for keying a car that was parked so close to me that I had to get in on the passengers side and climb over the gear shaft ... and trust me I'm not a skinny girl... but I digress ... yeah ... stay away from my stall ... both parking and p--ing!!!!!...Whew that felt good...:laugh:0

It takes alot.. But I literally Laughed out loud at this short clip!
Love it!0 -

Oh man...I really wish I hadn't visited this forum while I'm having lunch. :sick:0
