    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.


    Ummmm....that's a bit weird and creepy to say the least!

    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!
    Seriously, no one wants to see any one's waste left behind nor their nasty tampons sitting in the toliet either.

    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.

    Why? Gay people can't pee in public restrooms?

    Nothing about gay people in my sentence?

    OH ****! I'M A FRIGGEN MORON

    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.

    Wedding tackle! Bwahaha! :laugh:

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

    Oh, those are my favorite moments, because I can always pound out a nice long "symphony in B-Flat" to accompany their conversation and set the right mood.

    While on vacation, I went into a restroom with a lady standing by the side of the first stall with her hands folded. Thinking nothing about it I went to the first stall to see a woman sitting who had not even bothered to close the door. I was mortified and said, Oh, Sorry and hurried away. The lady standing by the side of the stall was laughing and said, "that happened to me too!" Why didn't she warn me that someone was in the first stall?

    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.

    We follow the New York Water Shortage Rule: "If it's yellow, let it mellow. If it's brown, flush it down!"

    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!


    My daughter did that once. I was sooo embarrassed. She has never done it again. The lady was really nice about it though.

    I used to work retail, and, one day I had to see a man about a horse. The only bathrooms we had were of the public variety. It was later in the day, so, there weren't many people in the store and the bathroom was empty when I got in there. A few moments after I began to play angry birds, someone else came in and did his business. As I was looking down at my phone, I couldn't help but notice the shadow at front of my stall approach and stop... I looked up and had one eye staring at me through the gap between the door and stall. I very calmly said, "you can stand there and stare all you want, but, I'm a push and a wipe away from kicking your *kitten*." Needless to say, he left immediately after that. About 30 minutes later (after I had left the restroom), I just had the worst creeped out feeling come over me...

    You're welcome!

    What I want to know is what kind of woman can’t put their bloody tampon in the toilet or the trash?

    I KNOW!!!? What woman takes it out then plops it on the floor and says to herself, "Yep, that's a good spot". I'll never understand. Some women are disgusting.

    I work(ed) retail as well. Our employee batheroom was so often used by the public because it was right there and NOONE can read "NOT A PUBLIC RESTROOM!" Anyways..... Our toilet mysteriously got clogged by a 'customer'. It was clogged for about 2 wks until the plumber came to snake it out.

    Some woman had flushed their size 3xl panties in our toilet, on my boss made us all look at em...

    Wonder what THEIR reasoning was. :noway:

    Biggest public restroom pet peeve: Ladies who think public restrooms are "so gross" so they hover above the seat. Hoverers, YOU are the reason the public restroom is so gross. YOU are the ones sprinkling wiz all over the seats and floor, and occasionally even missing the target with your solid waste. YOU are the gross ones. Stop it!

    I always though public loo's were bad, til i discovered the joys of festival portaloos. Use feminine items on the floors, used hypodermic needles, and people who seem to think the walls and ceiling needs redecorated with their excrement... lovely :-/

    OMG at walmart there was poop on the floor infront of the mens room ... I jokingly said to my friend ... how did that happen did he poop his pants and it roll out ..... (watching men walk out the bathroom was funny because everyone had to step over it)

    check out later with said friend something smelt really bad ...... low and behold we found the floor pooper .... he must have pooped down his leg on the floor into his shoes and socks and continued to shop that way ... it was all on his shorts ....

    in his cart he had a ton of stuff he wasnt old or anything maybe 40 he got into a really nice car and drove away all poop everywhere

    he maybe got sick or something but even so CLEAN up after yourself and he was in walmart I woulda grabbed a set of new clothes or at least tossed my socks

    Anyone ever experience the bathroom scene in "Bad Teacher" Holding it in until everyone else leaves just to have the guy/girl in the stall next to you doing the same thing? How long do you wait? Do you try to sneak it out (never seems to work)? Do you cover by flushing the toilet/coughing/clearing your throat?

    HUGE pet peeve of mine - sorry if someone already covered this- but bathrooms that are just one room like in a restaurant or gas station...why the heck would you not knock!!!! I always lock the door because apparently knocking isn't common practice anymore and people seriously just run straight into the door assuming it's unlocked. What if I really had to go and forgot to lock it...then you're just walking in on me!!

    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!

    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.

    wow..it REALLY is true what they say about the forum people.

    My biggest pet peeve is when a dude will come in the bathroom and cruise conveniently up to the urinal directly next to mine, especially when there's clearly like 3-4 other empty ones nearby to use. To make matters worse, sometimes you can feel their eyes creeping over and trying to "compare". Dude.... NO BUENO. I generally try to avoid public bathrooms all together, if possible.

    And what exactly is it that "they" say???

    edited to add: Also, forum people? Really? Look at my post count.

    THIS is my biggest pet peeve. I cannot stand nasty b!tches who piss all over the seat and think it's perfectly acceptable just to leave it there for some poor unsuspecting other woman to sit in. As someone said earlier, build a TP bridge, or if the toilet seat protectors are available (as they are in MANY cases, including where I work), USE ONE!!!!!!! You will not, I repeat, WILL NOT get any type of illness from sitting on a toilet seat!!!!! I always call them "nasty b!tches" under my breath , too, and give them the stink-eye when I see them walk out of the stall and see that they've left a piss puddle on the seat and the floor. It makes me wonder what their bathrooms at home look like. UGH!!! So disgusting.

    I used to work in retail and have wondered how in the name of Frodo people managed to SPRAY their poop that high on the wall. They must have taken elephant laxative and then bent over and grabbed their ankles. We're talking 6 feet from the floor. I just marveled.

    Once, I walked into the restroom and there was this attractive older lady, nice black wedges on her feet, lovely houndstooth jacket, pearls, perfectly coiffed hair, and makeup standing in front of the sinks. She looked at me and smiled. She was naked from the waist down. Her skirt, pantyhose, slip, and panties were folded neatly on the counter and she was putting on lipstick. I mumbled something totally off-the-wall, and jetted out. Fifteen minutes (and several more walk-ins from other unsuspecting people) later, she strolled out, fully clothed, and resumed her shopping.
