In a long discussed topic with my companion, GSD while living at [college] dorms, we have never saw such horrile barthroom manners. People who don't flush, hairballs, flooded toilets, desecrated showers....you name it, it was most likely there. And this is from kids who are supposed to be upcoming adults and have manners, not act like untrained 2 year olds. We decided that there should be a manditory class for all [college] kids on how to properly usea bathroom, since they seem in capable.:blink:
 
Ugh, I know what you mean. People are so disgusting. I especially don't like using public restrooms. I avoid them at all cost. But if I really have to use it, I won't touch anything...heh, I actually use my foot to flush toilets. (Sorry to those who actually flush the toilets with their hands.)

When I use the sink, I use a papertowel to turn the handles...same with opening doors, and before I completely step outside, I use my feet to keep the door from closing, crumple the paper towel, and shoot for the trashcan...then leave.

Nevermind about entering the restroom...=/ It can't always be avoided.

EDIT:

I'll move this to Costa Del Sol since it's too good to be simply just spam. =)

This is a pretty good topic.

The worst bathrooms ever are the ones at Gas stations.

Ugh, people are disgusting. I despise using public restrooms and I try to avoid them at all cost. I find it so rude and disgusting when I walk into a stall and there is pee on the seat. Learn to clean up after your self please! Once I saw feces on the wall.......

The cleanest bathrooms I've ever seen are from private (family/whatever) owned restaurants. The owner wants to keep the bathrooms clean and fancy-looking as possible to attract more costumers.

I do the same thing. I wouldn't not go near the handle with my hands.

I try not to use public bathrooms unless I have no other choice. I'll pee outside in the bushes before I'll pee on a public toilet. But when it comes to #2, sometimes there is just no way around it and you have to use a public toilet which is something I always dread doing, expecially if there is someone else in there.

I also rub my hands raw with soap and hot water after using a public toilet. I also flush the toilet with my foot, and I also kick the stall doors and whatever else door with my foot. The only thing I touch by hand are the locks to the stalls, and the sink.
 
I hate public restrooms as well. If I can avoid using them, I will. Unfortunately, when I'm at work, I don't have much of a choice. And the bathroom is always disgusting. Honestly, you would think that adult women would be able to flush the toilet. I won't even go into detail about some of the gross things that I've seen.

I also use my foot to flush the toilet and I don't touch anything in the bathroom.

And Cerridwen is right about gas station bathrooms. I had to drive to Pennsylvania last weekend so I had to use a few gas station bathrooms. They were unbelievably disgusting. There was actually a switch on the wall to press if the bathroom needed attention in most of them. I pressed them but the clerks didn't seem to care either way.
 
Wow, so I take it that most girls flush toilets with their foot...I wonder if some of the guys do the same...

And I know, it's always at work. :dry: I used to work at Meijer and the restrooms there are so gross - there were feces all over the wall and the toilet. I ran out as fast as I could before anyone falsely suspect I caused that damage. :blink: There's been times when I'd enter a stall and see something gross in the toilet (period blood all over, pee on the seat, etc.), covered my mouth, and almost threw up...

Seriously, it makes me wanna hold my pee sometimes.

Now I work at a daycare center and fortunately, all their restrooms are clean.
 
the only time i ever use public rest rooms is to do #1... other then that i w8 til i get home.... cause yes it is quite gross... this might be gay to say for a guy but when i go # 2 in a public rest room i put toilet paper on the seat... lol....
O and yes sometimes i do use my foot lol....
 
-shudder-

Public restrooms are beyond disgusting...fortunately I've never had to see any bathrooms covered in poo, but then again, I try my best to avoid any bathrooms I suspect would be in such a condition...

At my school, there are certain buildings where you sould NEVER go to the bathroom, and certain buildings where the bathrooms are acceptable if you can find the one clean stall with a locking door.

Yeah. I hold my pee all day unless it's an emergency. Or if I'm lucky enough to come across that one maintained stall.

I am by no means a clean freak, but I always pay attention to my bathroom. If you let that get out of hand, it's just horrible. People can be so unhygenic... >_<
 
Desecrated showers? That is truly disgusting.

The worst bathroom I ever been to was a public one at a gas station in the middle of the freaking desert in the middle of nowhere around Las Vegas. It's like 110 degrees outside (and the bathrooms are separate from the gas station store so its not air conditioned or anything) and you tell me how putrid and off-putting the smell is. There was such a long line for one of the gender bathrooms, I seriously just jumped into the other one, haha. If I have to go bad, I will go.

Also the bathrooms at my school are disgusting as well. I think its more of people want to mistreat the people who clean the bathrooms for them and do the dirty work purposely. Its not that they don't know how to be clean, they just want to be outright assholes is what I think.

Whenever I use a public bathroom, I will never ever flush with my hands. Even if the button is on the wall and high up, I will make a Bruce Lee jump and jam that thing with my foot instead of my finger. If need be, I will always put toilet paper around the seat at least double layered before I sit my arse.

I also hate touching the faucets. They are always soapy or something. Its like people can't wash their hands off fully which is more disgusting to me. I even hate touching the freaking handle for the paper towel to come out! Because that too can be soapy and you never know how clean the person was before you when they used it.
 
Ok this still kinda goes on-topic since...it takes place in a bathroom. xD

Anyway, we had some sort of health meeting after work (3 damn hours!) and so naturally, I was getting bored...until the instructor told us something interesting. She looked at us, and asked us who puts the lid down when flushing the toilet after going #2.

Surprisingly, everyone in the class don't do that, lol.

Then she asks us, "Well, where is your toothbrush located?" To which we replied, "In the same bathroom. It's set on a little cute toothbrush holder. =)"

She then starts to laugh and shakes her head. She told us that we should put the toothbrush in the mirror cabinet or under the sink...

Why?

Because when you flush the toilet and the lid is up, aerosol goes everywhere...eventually making contact with your toothbrush. =/ Think about it...you brush your teeth with...-coughs-

And...that's totally nasty especially if you're sharing a bathroom with someone else...

...

So anyway, after work...I was so desperate to buy a new toothbrush.

EDIT: For those who didn't get it, there are a bunch of e.coli found on your toothbrush.

That's why I always put the lid down before flushing the toilet. :monster:

I also never leave my toothbrush out in the bathroom. I keep it in one of those travel toothbrush cases in my room.

We have one acceptable bathroom here at work. It's on the other side of the building and it requires a badge to get into. That's the only one I'll consent to use. The other one, aside from just being gross overall, reeks of urine. It's completely unbearable.

I close the lid when I flush the toilet as well. My mom told me the same thing that when you flush the toilet particles go into the air.

I use to work for Best Buy. Before the grand opening of the store I use the new bathrooms. New bathrooms they were disgusting. There was toilet paper on the ground and I even found a bloody pad on the floor. I went to my manager and reported it. I can't believe how disgusting some of the employees were.

Hrmm women's bathrooms seem more disgusting then men's bathrooms. I heard stories of women leaving tampons and pads in corners and on the floor. Not to mention women bring in their children and throw diapers around.
 
Wow, I thought I was in the minority of foot toilet flushers. I guess lots of people do it! :D

Ugh, I *always* try not to use public bathrooms because they can be so gross. My college dorm bathrooms are actually not that bad because each suite has a bathroom. That means only three other people, including myself, are sharing it. But freshman year was bad in terms of that because my suitemates constantly clogged the damn toilet! I'll never forget going to the bathroom, flushing, and then watching in horror as the water rose until it overflowed. I barely used any toilet paper, so it was obvious that it had already been clogged. I was NOT amused -_- Also, my freshman year...there were rumors that one of the boys on my floor pooped in the shower. Ugh. Gross. Seriously, if you can't use a bathroom and be nice and clean about it, just wear a freaking diaper. Damn people with their inconsiderateness! *Waves fist*
 
Why didn't anyone tell me this? >_< It does makes sense though. But well what really got to me is that 3 - 5 different people share our bathroom. =/ The worst are my dad and uncles... -shudders-
 
While up at another dorm hall, I found this one toilet that was on teh first floor lobby -one open primarily to those who are visiting, etc...and also for teh drunkards who can't make it to their floor. I was playing games in teh washroom downstairs and bolted to teh first floor to go pee -low and behold. I walked in, and as I have been doing lately, is having to check the toilet before I even shut teh door behind me. The bowl of teh toilet must have been completely layered with TP and ontop of it was pee, diarea, and vomit chunks, all in one bowl. Now either soemone clogged it before and soemone went ontop of it, or had all 3 at once. I ran out of tehir so I wasn't teh suspect, b/c it was so nasty.

Another thing I find myself doing is checking the stalls before I go in. I usually pick out a certain stall I always use, and move if its been clogged. Its sad when you need to do eth old kick open teh stall trick to see if theirs soemthign in teh toilet.

I even think that soemtimes its not that it is clogged, but rather I think they pee in it, wipe, and never flush, nor wash their hands. It's diturbing when your on teh porceline thone and you hear soem chick waltz in, doo her duty and waltz right out, with a flush and pad change, and NO HAND WASHING, not even a rinse. Nasty.
 
And this is why I go to bathroom when I wake up or right before I go to sleep, I rather take a laxative, but after a while your body just times itself...
Simply put, the thought of using public bathroom...doesn't make me want to go the bathroom anymore. ^^
(Has used some, but looks for a nice restaurant or something if I have to really use one.)
 
I'm not too concerned about sanitation when it comes to bathrooms. I've crapped in a urinal before. I hated the janitor, so I figured I'd give him something fun to clean up. Pissing in sinks can be fun, too. I flush the toilet on occasion, but only to clog it. I take a huge crap, then fill the bowl with large amounts of toilet paper. I haven't done this personally, but some people draw on the walls of bathroom stalls...with their excrement. I do hate all the pubic hair, though. I spend time trying to piss on the pubic hair so I can get it off the walls without having to physically touch it.

I wash my hands when I'm done. Squirt a nickel-sized amount of soap onto your hands. Place your hands under a stream of warm water, and lather up your hands. Rinse thoroughly. Dry with a clean paper towel!

Stay clean.
