Rave: Why are some women such pigs? Been fuming totally out of proportion all afternoon. The ladies' room in my office building was being worked on, so I had to walk a block to another building in the rain to use the restroom. Already out of sorts. First stall I walked into - someone had used it and didn't bother to flush. WTH?! Is it THAT hard to push down on the little lever? You may not want to get your hand dirty -- so get a paper towel and flush the &^*$ toilet! We had this problem in my building about a year ago. Whoever it was ignored the polite signs on the doors thanking them for remembering to flush. Ignored the first two meetings I called with all the women in the building asking them to be more considerate. Finally got the message in the third meeting when I said that if I caught anyone coming out without flushing I would announce it to the entire staff. Is there some reason I don't understand for this? And while on the topic, why do some women flush before they use the toilet? I just don't get it. |

But with the flushing before, I will flush the toilet if I notice someones toilet paper or whatever didn't go all the way down, but I don't flush if the toilet is empty. I don't understand girls sometimes.... I hate it when girls hover and pee all over the seat! That is what really gets to me! :thumbdown |
Maybe you could ask them to put in an automatic flushing system.:D |
Lol, what a unusual subject. My pet peeve is the woman that use the paper toilet seat covers and just leave them on the seat when they are done. I hate it too when woman drop pee on the toilet seat and leave it. As for flushing before or during using the bathroom. I am guilty of that at times if I have to go number two and other ladies are in the bathroom. Flushing helps cover up any possible 'noise' and cut down on odors. Kind of a courtesy thing if you now what I mean. |
Ugh! It just bugs me when people don't flush! Also, like bjh said - it's disgusting when women pee all over the toilet seat and just leave it there for YOU to either clean up, or sit on. Ew, ew, ew!!! |
I'll admit, I'm a germaphobe and hate touching the lever...however, I just pull a little piece of TP off the roll and use it to touch the handle with rather than touching it with my hand...but I still flush? I hover because, well, germs, but again I clean up any "sprinkles". I remember one bathroom I went in they had a little sign up that said "if you sprinkle when you tinkle, be a dear and wipe it clear!" lol. and another read "if a 2 year old can flush a toilet, SO CAN YOU!!!" apparently this is a big problem everywhere, haha. gross. The one that gets me is when someone doesn't flush, leaves a #2 behind but there is no TP in the bowl... Yes, women are pretty gross when it comes to public bathrooms...I've witnessed a lot of women walking out without washing their hands! Yikes! |

I don't understand the hovering thing either. They've already said that toilet seats aren't as dirty as lots of other things in the world. And plus, it's not like the skin on your butt carries diseases... |

I know, I'm a total germ freak, my bf said I'm eccentric :rolleyes: when it comes to germs. So what if I won't touch a shopping cart handle unless I've wiped it down it a towelette. And I won't shake someones hand (unless necessary) and if I do I immediately reach for the germ-x...I always order my drinks without the fruit (did you see the special about the lemons...:thumbdown) and I'm constantly spraying Lysol on the community computer...what I have to log in to it sometimes to do some admin stuff... You know...when I write it all out like that, I start to feel like I have a problem...:cool: |
Some people are just slobs, some may flush and didn't bother to check if the toilet handled their flush before exiting -- and the reason someone may flush PRIOR to going is unless you checked out that particular stall previous to them you don't know what they encountered (maybe someone who didn't flush??) thus they felt it appropriate to flush another's waste first just so they could use the toilet. Personally, I never had to go that bad that I wouldn't simply go back out of the stall and wait for another (cleaner) one to free up rather than flush the stuff - as I'd probably vomit (weak stomach) I do agree with you 100% that it is sickening to go into a stall that hasn't been flushed. But there are so many disturbed people out there these days...If you don't pull away from a stop sign fast enough someone flips you off, people (guys in particular - sorry guys!!) hack their snot on a sidewalk, the store checker doesn't check you out fast enough, the people in line get perturbed, on and on...just a lot of angry, rude, and/or self centered people out there. |

I think its disgusting when women dont flush and you wonder how their house is if they are that gross in a public bathroom. If I caught someone doing it I would say something to them. |
Sometimes women let their little daughters use the bathroom while they are waiting, and if the child poos, they usually don't flush. I'm with all of you about cleanness though. I use my antibacteria wipes on the toilet seat, (I hate those paper liners), I use my foot to flush if the toilet isn't automatic, which I think all public toilets should be. I always use those antibacteria wipes on shopping carts that the stores have at the door, and if they don't have them, I do. I always carry them. I also carry the antibacteria jell and alcohol wipes. I like keeping my hands wiped if I have to touch too many hands and door handles when I'm out shopping. At home I wipe all the door knobs once a week, along with ref. stove & microwave handles & knobs, keyboards, phones, lamp switches, remotes, and such. I keep a spray bottle of alcohol under each sink in the house and use that to clean the tubs, sinks, counters and I even spray it on my bed foam and pillows twice a week when I change the sheets. Maybe I'm over the top too, but we never have so much as a cold and I've never had the flu. So maybe it pays to cut back on so many germs. ;) |

LOL, being born and bred from Kansas, I have cleaned up after animals my whole life. They were only doing what they were taught. Maybe that's what we see in a public restroom as well. I don't mind the animals, but I find myself being a bit of a germaphobe when it comes to public restooms myself. |

I knew I could count on this group for an interesting discussion. Well, I'm pretty much over it. Our bathroom is back in operation again and here, I have been such a tyrant about it that whoever was "guilty" is too afraid not to flush. I guess I just don't understand why you wouldn't take a couple of extra seconds to leave the room as clean as when you entered it. On the flushing first thing, these are women who ALWAYS flush as soon as they enter the stall. I wonder if it's a cultural thing? We used to have a couple of women who would actually stand on the toilet seat. A little disconcerting to walk in there and find footprints on the seat. |
I must say that I've never found footprints there - yet.:D I have to keep my paper towel to turn on the sink (no automatic sinks yet) and get the soap to wash my hands. After I dry my hands, I use the paper towel to open the door.:D Germaphobe!:D |
Sorry, but ladies rooms are always nasty! Most girls I know are quick to say they are gross, but if most girls feel this way then why oh why are the restrooms soooo disgusting? My restroom at work is always so gross! I wonder who can do that on a daily basis, especially when there are really only about 50 of us who use it. I know them all mostly and I hate to think that any one of them could do the things I see in there. |
on the flushing first thing as a cultural thing...I never thought of that...maybe...but what culture I wonder?? Interesting. I don't think taking extra precautions these days (with all the super bugs out there) one can be called a germophobe. I always use the grocery store's sanitizing wipes on the basket...use the toe of my shoe to flush...use the paper towel to open the bathroom door (ever notice the ones who come out of a stall and don't wash their hands, then open the door...definitely don't want to be touching that doorknob after them!!! lol) I've noticed I haven't been sick in over a year too since I started always using those precautions. But ever since my previous post I can't stop thinking about the hacking on the sidewalk...now that's my pet peeve...when I see someone do that I just want to grab their collars and ask them if they realize people walk there, their strollers go there and then they pick up your snot on their shoes, stroller wheels, etc and carry it into their cars/homes/etc. To me, the hackers are the lowest of the low, absolute trash without a sliver of couth. But I can't as I'm too busy gagging! |

So when I went to Boston this past year and was walking around I was appalled at how disgusting all the streets and sidewalks were. I felt so bad for my furkids having to walk on that and really wished I had bought them shoes. First thing I did when I got back to the hotel was wash their feet really good. |
i use my foot to flush the public toilets. much cleaner than my hands and i think it's gross to leave things to linger EWWWWW |
One things certain..........whoever has the unsavory job of cleaning public toilets, aren't being paid enough!!! |

Oh, but the germs do stay even if you wipe :( unless you use one of those "kills 99% of germs" wipes. But if you use regular wipes, when you pull your panties up...up comes whatever was on the seat :eek:! And what if it can crawl up? I have a problem with micro-organisms, so I don't trust. I don't seat, but I aim well (lots of practice and good exercise for the buttocks and legs :p) and if I have an accident and sprinkle outside, I wipe. I never touch the lever, I flush with my foot, I figure it's good exercise anyway ;) And after I wash my hands with water on the hotter side for at least 20 seconds, I bring the tissue I use to dry my hands to open the bathroom door, if the garbage can is close, I throw it, if not I take it with me and dispose of it somewhere else. Women's public bathrooms are disgusting and I turn into some sort of gymnast when I have to go in there...you'd laugh if you saw all I do :D |
Oh, and on the flushing before going...I feel so guilty about that, but I do it too :( It's a trauma, I think, from childhood :p I saw a movie where a mouse came up from the toilet and my uncle said that "yeah, it could happen, they're great swimmers." Ever since then I have this thing where I have to make sure nothing's going to come up and bite me :cool: |

It is the same where I work. Most dont bother to flush the toilet and there is loads of times I have walked into a cubicle to find a number 2 still sitting in the toilet. YUK. Once I walked in and there was vomit in the sink! If I felt I was going to be sick I would go into the toilet cubicle not the sink, but if for some reason you HAD to vomit in the sink you would make sure you cleaned it up! But no they are disgusting and leave it for the poor cleaner to do. When I was coming back from Zante in Greece a couple of years ago I used the ladies toilets in the airport. There was about 15-20 cubicles in there because they bathroom was HUGE. I am not telling a lie when I say every single cubicle apart from one had poop EVERYWHERE. I have no idea what people were doing in there! Im talking inside the toilet, all over the seat and some even on the floor!! there was toilet paper all over the place and even a couple of the toilet seats had been ripped off. In the end I didnt even use the clean toilet I felt so ill at looking at all of that mess. I have no idea what happend in there.... It scares me to even think about it!!! |
I wouldn't classify myself as a germaphobe but I also use a paper towel to open the door. If I forget and throw it away, I'll use my pinky to pull the door open then I'll wipe my pinky on my pants lol. One more thing I don't touch: escalator handrails. After hearing my mom say it enough, I don't touch them. |
