Toilet Rant

I know this thread is wide open for all sorts of toilet humour.. but I really do have to rant and rave about a certain disgusting habit people seem to have about public restrooms... not flushing.

I have crohnes disease, nasty intestinal issue that sometimes tests my endurance and my knowledge of most every public washroom in the area. As such I have become something of an expert on places I want and need to stop at and places I will pass unless it is a dire emergancy.

Nothing ruins an already distasteful sitauation more than getting into a stall (usually decently clean) and finding the previous inhabitant left behind their droppings in the bowl. Is it so hard to at least kick the handle with your foot (if you are paranoid about germs) to send the turds to their final destination.. or is this something of a "i was here" moment to some people?

I would hate to think people mark their territory with their excriment.

How about those weak suck toilets that can't even handle your poop? No paper, just poop. Water saver, my ass. When I have to flush three times to get it down, I've conserved NO water at all.

Public Restrooms are like the internet - one can dump all kinds of crap within the stall, but no one has to take responsibility.

Chew your food, boy.

And people wonder why I wait to get home as often as possible.

Public washrooms terrify me sometimes.

Moreso when I think about the scene with "Seabass" in Dumb and Dumber.

Or how about you walk into a stall to find the previous user has left the seat down and the seat is soaking wet. To amounts that it can't not be intentional. I hate that.

Our local Arbys had some passing through visitors who literally spread their markings all over the public restroom, they must have done so by hand, I just do not get this behavior.

I saw them leave that day, had no idea what they had done or it would have been a serious confrontation.

I had a job during college that included cleaning restrooms...you have to wonder about some people's personal habits.

As much as we may complain, nothing touches the absolute horror stories my wife tells me about ladie's rooms.

The building I work in contains an unusual amount of retired military working as contractors. I respect and admire these peaple, but I was raised as an only child. Bathroom time is quiet, solitary time. Do not speak to me at the urinal, and I am not interested in hearing your personal coahing techniques as you try to talk your "movement" out in the next stall. I recognize these are my problems, but I am not interested in addressing them, I am more interested in you being quiet over there.

What's with the guys these days flushing the urinal before their done peeing? Seriously? It seems like you hear the "sploosh" right as the stream hits and then they walk away without a re-flush. WTF???!?

I was cruising into a Hardee's one time and saw this guy looking very unwell, leaning on his wife's arm, as he left the restaurant. I ordered some food and then went to the men's room for nature's call before eating

~ BIG MISTAKE ~

I don't know if it was the same guy but it looked like someone literally exploded in there. I swear the cubicle walls were coated up to the tops.

I couldn't get mad a the guy as it was obviously something really wrong going on there. I'd hate to be doing ok, WHAM! Horrible intestinal episode in a public restroom. Believe me, he had my sympathy.

I just walked up to the counter, asked for my stuff to go, and mentioned the men's room was a wreck. The person who cleaned that wasn't paid nearly enough.

Could be due to auto-flush. It happens regularly if you take a long pee...had one auto-flush on me 3 times once.

I can agree with most of these; people grunting and talking themselves through their dumps like they're trying to lay an egg, peeing all over the toilet and the floor, flushing before they're done peeing.

I've got a couple ones that haven't been mentioned. How about when you're in a stall, the whole bathroom is empty, and then someone comes and sits down in the one directly next to you? Same goes for the urinal. It's like parking in an empty lot. What the hell?

And people who just stand around in the bathroom. What on Earth are you doing? Are you waiting for someone or just got nowhere to be? Do your business and get the hell out. If I wanted an audience I'd be peeing on some building on the street, like Atlanta.

hehe

I work at the park and a restaurant, and by far the worse bathroom is always the womens. They seem to hover, and spray poo all over.

That could be the worst thing ever invented. I was stopped off at a rest area on the NYS thruway to make a deposit when it went off and wouldn't stop. It was also rather forceful and when I got up I was soaking wet, including my pants and shoes. It may have also taken my virginity.

Wally, I think that was a bidet.

The worst is some of the things I've seen in porta johns on the jobsites I work at. Apparently a lot of people squat on the platform and hover over the seat. Most of these people have terrible aim and just leave large deposits all over the place.

Some are lazy enough to just urinate in a bottle and leave it in the house. Or they are malicious enough to just urinate in our conduit, that really messes up your day.

THe Funniest episode was in a restroom at a Science Fiction Convention back in the early 90s (yes, I am a geek) I was at the urinal, about to do my thing when the guy in the stall next to me grunts hard and says.. "en... gage" and lets one drop.

I never did go, I had to walk out and laugh

Many instances of fecal misplacement may be blamed on taking art classes out of public schools.

I am faced with the following choices at work: low-flow log jammer on my floor or lovely firehose flush on the ground level, which is also used by the local homeless to mixed results.

If I saw THAT, I doubt I'd continue eating there.

My girlfriend worked for one of those franchised maid services ("Molly Maid", IIRC) before she went back to school.

If you think what people do in a public restroom is bad, you should hear what they're like at home. Some of her stories almost literally make me gag..and I used to cut bait & clean fish in my summer jobs.

yes.. my mom used to do maid work on her days off. The stories she told of how people treat their homes just astounds me

My old boss used to do it. He'd flush three times. There was no auto flush.
