Which stall?

But because the first stall is used least often, it contains the lowest bacteria levels. Instead of skipping the first stall, choose it to help avoid possible infections.

Stall 1. If it's gross, 2. If 2 is gross, 3. If 3 is gross, 4. If 4 is gross, I seriously reconsider why I'm frequenting this establishment at all.
(But I've already seen the results of said experiment)0 -

I never use 4 because it's almost always a handicapped stall, I typically go for 2 just because any time anyone has been in the bathroom when I go in (like at work) they're always in 3 so it's at least most used by them.
I read that somewhere too, but didn't even think about the rest of your sentence - excellent point.
I typically don't choose #1 because I find it is often dirty. How women manage to pee all over the seat is disturbing, I guess they are half standing? Thinking about it, I guess it is better to know that the seat is covered in urine rather then them cleaning it up (wiping it all over) the seat tho.
I look for the cleanest obviously, and usually pick #3 if they all are clean, don't know why.
used to have to clean the toilets at an old job in a public place. women's bathrooms were always ten times as foul as the guys.
like the guy bathrooms, i'd find strange things, but not necessarily horrific- like one time i found a guy's belt in the toilet. like he took the belt off, stuck it in the toilet and left it hanging there. nothing wrong with the belt i could see either. i still find myself wondering about that one from time to time.
the women's bathrooms though, they were always absolutely disgusting with some of the worst things a person could imagine. like jackson pollock only with more body fluids.
Women's public bathrooms are gross. A lot of us squat over the toilet, don't actually sit. There are some that can't do this right, which is why there is usually piss on the toilet seat.
Most Men don't wash their hands after using the toilet.0 -

Handicrapper for the win.
I feel guilty taking the handicap one if there are others open. As long as the toilet paper holder doesn't dig into my leg (if I get the rare chance to sit), then I'm good.

Stall 4, don't like it when people walk in and be right behind you. It's funny you mentioned this, I remember over a decade ago when I really needed to use the toilet. The men's was closed, the disabled toilets were being used. I jumped in the ladies
it was way cleaner than men's. Obviously I didn't sit, so all good. Ah fond memories 0 -
I read once that the first stall is statistically the cleanest, so that's the one I use, most of the time. I may make a different choice based on circumstances.
At my office, though, the first stall is the handicapped stall, so I typically go to stall 2.0 -

A lot of women don't either. I don't know how many times I've been in the bathroom, to hear the person finishing turn the water in for literally 2 seconds. Now you know that is not going to clean your nasty *kitten* hands!!!!1 -

Really? I thought women were into the whole cleanness and hygiene.0 -
I can't bring myself to use the handicapped stalls/restrooms. I'd probably wind up in something similar to Roy's predicament in IT Crowd.

Out of the men's, disabled and womens the woman's toilet was always the worst, don't even want to mention what I cleaned up in there. I'm now doing a cleaning job that also involves cleaning loos, again the ladies is the worst. The conclusion iv drawn is that woman are more likely to also take their child to use the ladies toilets, thus more mess and mishaps.
I worked in a hotel when I was a teen and let me tell you the girls sport team's bathrooms compared to the boys...night and day. Not only were the the toilet, floor and bathtub often...let's say misused, there would on multiple occasions be lipstick and soap all over the mirrors.Most Men don't wash their hands after using the toilet.browneyedgirl749 wrote: »A lot of women don't either.

Maybe that's not OCD enough to fit in0 -

I'll look at all of them and chose which one appears to be the cleanest.1 -

But they really should. Because they're lifting the seat, after all. Not putting it down or anything. Just lifting it.
i dont touch the seat i use my foot and i dont use air dryer either i use paper towels then wash my hands wipe my hands dry before i throw it in the garbage i use it to open the door and use my foot to prop the door open while i shoot for the trash can
I do this at work. Because I know a lot of women in this building either don't wash their hands, or don't do it properly.0 -
My guess' that, it'd be cleaner to; just use Depends!0

I ALWAYS pull some toilet paper to use to lift/lower the seat, or flush.
Do women grunt and groan when doing number 2? I swear I always hear it from at least one guy in a public bathroom.

You walk into a public bathroom. There are 4 stalls open and empty. The closest one walking in is stall number 1, then 2, etc. Which stall do you use?
This was actually an experiment to see which stall is frequented the most and which ones have the most bacteria.
Enter Stall 4
Lock the door
Take a tissue
Wipe the seat
Take some more tissue
Lay tissue on the seat
Sit
Go
Wipe
Slide the seat cover into the loo
Pull up my trousers
Do up my fly (being sure to not catch the fella or any stray hairs)
Flush
Unlock the door
Go to the sink
Rinse my hands
Get some soap
Wash my hands
Dry my hands
Squirt some alcohol gel in one hand
Open the door with the gel free hand
Leave the toilets
Rub the alcohol gel into my hands.
Relax

In a properly set up bathroom, the used paper towel can be used to open the door.
