    What is it about farts being so funny?... I agree with you there unless they are killer smelly. Ugh!

    Overall, just be courteous... clean up after you, flush the foul.

    I don't use public restrooms unless I have no choice. Just think about all the skanky people out there that don't bath or clean or have nasty little bugs on their body and you use the toilet right after them. Those little bugs jump so even not sitting isn't an option for me...nope not gonna use them. If I do I try to wipe it down with soap and or purell if I have it before I sit down. Nasty business public restrooms :sick:

    don't forget all the nasty people who don't wash their hands. I always use a papertowel to leave or the bottom corner of my shirt.

    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. :)

    Me, too! LOL

    1. When men want to talk while urinating or anywhere near the stalls. Absolute No No
    2. If this has not been mentioned, what about public bathroom sex etiquette?

    OMG also...talking on phone while in bathroom stall. Kind of gross to listeners, myself and person on phone! So tacky and classless! :noway:

    So I work in an office building where there are suites and we all share a public bathroom, with like 5 stalls. Someone is ALWAYS doing this!! I'll admit to checking my email or whatnot on my phone once or twice while on the toilet (gross, I know) but at least that's silent.

    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

    Lol, "wedding tackle". That's a new one for me. Hahahaha. Hilarious.

    Hilarious thread... my pet peeve is going into a stall and seeing art streaks left behind... like a poopy signature. Courtesy flushes prevent this people.... This grosses me out big time.

    1. Don't let your kids crawl into my stall!

    2. WASH YOUR FRICKIN' HANDS!!!

    3. Don't stand "in line" in the bathroom if you're not waiting to use the toilet!!! Wait for your friend outside the bathroom door!

    Ugh! Yes to number one! So disgusting. And what if the child puts his fingers in his mouth after being on the nasty floor. ::barfs::

    My daughter knows too well about "butterfly hands" and using tissue to open the door (who in the world came up with the great idea of pulling a door to leave the restroom???) ::rolls eyes::

    I can't stand when people leave pieces of tissue squares on the floor that eventually get peed on by the hoverers and now you are left with a sloppy mess on the floor.

    Or the people who wipe and have bad aim so I walk in to see a wad of used tissue just sitting on the toilet.

    Besides the ones already mentioned, I can't stand huge puddles of water (or possibly pee?) on the floor in the stalls. It's like someone dumped a whole water bottle on the ground. I also hate the fact that a lot of places have the infant changing table in the handicap stall. One time I waited over 1/2 hour for the stall to empty only to end up changing my daughter right on the sink.

    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, this is still going on, eh? I was in in the 80's-95ish..Some things NEVER change.:laugh:

    I have OCD, and public bathrooms are a nightmare for me. Thankfully, we have seat covers at work, and the ladies I work with are pretty clean.

    Otherwise, I hover in other public restrooms, but I try to get close enough to the seat not to pee on it. If I accidentally do, I always wipe the seat. But, in all honesty, I try to avoid public restrooms like the plague and just go when I get home. I will only use one if there is no chance I'm going to be home soon.

    That being said - all waste should go down the toilet, all feminine hygiene products should go in the trash or sanitary bin (with the exception of used tampons), and all hands should be washed!

    Two seconds with water doesn't count! This goes for guys, too - I don't care if you keep your d**k clean and know where it's been. Wash your damn hands!

    Don't "moan" a sigh of relief when doing number 2

    If you do, please courtesy flush to reduce odor.

    When people do that, I flush the toilet in the hopes that the person on the other end can hear it. I'm a jerk

    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.

    You have got to be kidding.... Its a bathroom... I squeeze my cheeks till I get there...
