Oh hi.
Here is our second part of our etiquette/questions series. We haven't really been watching TV much at all lately. We've enjoyed just talking and relaxing and one of the things I started asking Anthony questions on was Public Restroom Etiquette.
I have a lot of "issues" with the use of public restrooms. I can NOT use a restroom on an airplane, I get all filled with anxiety. I didn't go once on our flight to or from CA recently. I think the last time I used a bathroom on a plane was when I was 7 and Daddy Henry took us to Florida. Of course I waited to tell him I had to go until everyone food had arrive and trays were down etc....
Only recently did I began using outhouses and that is only because of my breast cancer walk, you really can't hold it for 40 miles.
So here are some questions/concerns we have come up with on public restroom etiquette....
* The first question I have, what is the point of urinals? Are you men really SO lazy that you can't walk into a stall and pee in a toilet? I don't get it. And when you are using a urinal, do you talk to the people next to you? Where do you look, just straight ahead at the wall? What if all the urinals are taken, do you stand behind a guy in line and just wait?
* What is your take on bringing reading material into a public restroom, like work..Anthony and I see it all the time.
* This is gross but we have to ask. How does one get poop on the toilet seat?? And if you do, wouldn't you maybe wipe it off before departing from your stall? Yes we see this at work also.
* Why do people at work like to talk to you while you pee? I'm friendly so I'll say hello if I see someone in there, but then they want to talk the whole time we pee, I don't...
* You know those "neat seat covers" people at work use them but when they are done they leave them on the toilet seat...its gross. I really don't get it.
* What do you do if you clog a public restroom toilet? There aren't plungers in the bathrooms...do you just pretend you didn't do it or do you find someone to plunge for you? " Hi I just clogged the toilet at Macy's on the 1st level, do you have a plunger?"
* Why don't people flush?
*Anthony asks....what if you walk into a bathroom and see someone you have not see in a very long time. You see them as they come out of the stall or away from the urinal and they reach out to shake your hand....do you shake?
There is this one lady at work, well she is on disability now, but she used to walk to the bathroom with a can of lysol spray. She should have just worn a sign on her shirt that said " I'm going to make a big stink" but on the other hand...why don't public restrooms have cans of spray?
One time at work a lady was in a stall going to the bathroom. A person walked into a stall next to her and slammed the door....the stall door literally fell on the poor lady inocently taking a pee, she had to go to the hospital.
Are you ever in a "oner" and you lock the door. Someone tries to get in and they don't try once, they try like 78 times...Hello, someone is in here. (A seperate blog will be forthcoming with a story on how Mum locked herself in the dunkin donuts bathroom...........)
Am I forgetting aything Anthony?

One time I went into a stall to poop and reliazed too late there was no tolet paper. I asked the person on the right and the left if they had any extra paper, they both said no. Not knowing what to do and thinking about it for a while, I finally asked both of them if they had change for a five dollar bill!!!!!
Oh gosh Dad, I hope you are kidding...but you do bring up a good point, what does one "doo" in that situation?
(1) What if you clog the toilete and there are people in the rest room...do you wait until they leave before coming out of stall?
(2) What if you have bad gas or EDA and someone is in the rest room...do you just let it go or wait until they leave.
(3) When you go into the bathroom at work, does anyone look to see if they recognize any of the feet in the stalls?
(4) What do you do if there is no TP...seriously?
(5) Why do people moan when they go to the bathroom. Honestly, some men sound worse than a woman giving birth.
(6) If your she-yot stinks bad, do you give a coutesy flush?
Cha cha says, you all better get something else to dooooooo!!!
you go cha cha!
I've found the women here at work to be generally clean when it comes to the bathrooms. However, there is one woman who insists on talking on the phone while she's in there. She wears one of those headsets and she will still answer the phone and talk while she's in the bathroom. I don't like that...
Also, we have a couple of men who do bring reading material into the bathroom with them. One of them brings his own personal book. It gives me the creeps, but I guess I can get over it. The other guy, however, brings the office copy of the newspaper. THAT IS GROSS. I do not read the office copy of the newspaper anymore, needless to say.
Here's a positive one... We have one woman in our office who even goes so far as to wipe off the sink when she's done washing her hands, so that it's clean and dry for the next person. I think that's nice.
Actually, George and I are sitting here eating our dinner. We thought we'd check out the blogs of everyone while we do this. However, I don't like the images or smells that are coming to mind at this time so excuse me if I don't have too much to say right now. Why can't people flush?
hahaha, I must say that this blog was pretty hysterical. I can't stand using outhouses, I really can't....It stinks like nothing you'd ever want to smell again and they're just gross; Even if some of them do have Antibacterial gel dispensers inside. I think public restrooms should put air freshener cans in a bathroom. I think that if you clog the toilet, you shouldn't tell anyone and just leave (run), and I think you should OBVIOUSLY flush your sanitary seat cover because hello? that's why it's sanitary, so that it can't be used again! And also, poop on the toilet seat: I don't know how it happens but it's NASTY and you should definitely clean it off
