Title: How do you feel about using the Public rest-rooms?
Post by: Elizabethar on June 16, 2010, 05:36:20 pm
I try not to only if I really have to,I never sit on the sets.

It depends on how public they are.  Bus stations are usually filthy, I won't even go in those.  Everything else seems clean by comparison.

I would say that kinda disgusted in the sense of sitting down on the toilet and then when  u need to go well you open the door and u see all the stuff and well it and it makes ya doesn't wanna go do your business you know?

no matter how clean it seems, i always squat.
if i gotta go, i gotta go. i'll use any restroom if i have to.

...i guess #2 is a bigger deal to me in a public restroom.
i only mind the fact that its a little awkward when someone
inevitably sits down in the stall next to you. i usually hold
it, but sometimes, i just gotta GO.

   ;)   Make sure the restrooms you use are clean and always use seats covers. Flush the toilet before using it to make sure there is fresh clean water under you.

I honestly don't have any qualms about it.  Restrooms are dirty period.  Unless you incessantly clean at home, your restroom is dirty as well.  Yes it is YOUR dirt but it still is dirty.  Honestly I have more problems with touching the hand rail of an escalator than I do about public bathrooms.   :dontknow:

Public restrooms are ok, just as long as they are clean, nice, and smell good. When I do use it I always cover the toliet seat up. I don't like public restrooms where there is toliet paper all over the floor, not as clean, and you go in and no one has even flush the toliet.

honestly, public restrooms beat peeing lots of places I've had to when none have been available (yes, TMI, I know)...I'm just careful not to touch much, and I clean my bathroom twice a week, so I don't scare anyone who needs to use it out of there.

Post by: jusu on June 17, 2010, 10:45:12 am
I try not to use them but sometimes you have no choice. I don't touch anything, I use paper towels or toilet paper on the handles of the doors...it makes me mad when people don't flush...I mean do they do that at their own home? I highly doubt it, so why do it in public??? Just shows the lack of respect people have for one another.

This happens a lot.  I also get tired of listening to loud excessive gas being unloaded.  Can't people unload more discreetly?   I also had heard that you should flush and stand back, because the swirling water will splash tiny drops of water that contain germs that are from others and then will deposit on your clothes and skin.

Post by: Oryon20 on June 17, 2010, 11:43:46 am
I only use public restrooms if there is no other way of avoiding it.  I really don't understand how some people can be so nasty and inconsiderate.  Is it that hard to flush?  Do you really need to pee on the toilet seat or all over the floor around the toilet?

If I have no choice but to use one, I always look for the cleanest stall first... ie. no visible ickies on surfaces like seats and surrounding floor.  Something in the bowl is nasty, but can be flushed.  Then I go for the Lysol to disinfect.  We keep a travel size can in our car's glove box and in my wife's purse.  They are the perfect size and come in handy a lot.  If we need to use the restroom, we just spray the seat, handles, etc.  They also are great to use on carts at stores which don't provide sanitizing wipes to clean the cart's bar.

I don't mind using public restrooms, as I never sit on the seat. Only if they are real filthy, I have second thoughts about it, but usually I can find a fairly clean one. I like traveling, and have gotten used to using public bathrooms.

If you have to go, then you have to go! If it looks clean, then use it. So, public restrooms are safe...just wash your hands like you should each time.

Post by: rwdeese on June 22, 2010, 07:45:46 am
Well, I prefer outhouses, myself  ???

Oh yes... let me explain...

1. You know what to expect when you go to an outhouse. The aroma, the texture, the flies, and especially the lack of TP.

2. The best part is that you don't have to wash your hands - you get to spread germs (possibly other stuff) on the next three doorknobs you touch.

The reality is that there are some public bathrooms that qualify.

Please wash your hands after reading this, thank you

I'm slightly claustrophobic, so I alway opt for the handicap stall. I ALWAYS wipe the seat AND squat.
When I leave, I use a paper towel to open the door.
But that's only if I ABSOLUTELY HAVE to go, and can't wait another minute.

I hate to use them but when you got to go you got to go.  I carry the hand santisiers all the time and wet wipes that I use to wipe seats.  If its a have to really quick then squatting is the thing to do.  You got to do what you got to do.   :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :wave:

I dont understand how one a women can place her purse on the floor and two they can sit on the toilet. NASTY

i'm actually pretty funny when it comes to this. most of the time when we are out and about, even if we're out for  a few hours, i won't need to use the restroom. but the second we turn onto our street i suddenly have to pee soooooo bad. now, when we're out all day (say amusement parks) there really isnt any choice- eventually i'll have to pee and will have to use a public restroom but i always have a travel can of lysol in my diaper bag so i give the seat a good spray before i put down the seat protectors

Not a fan of public restrooms.

I was recently in Boston and found one of those pay toilets. For a quarter, I was able to get into the toilet and on the way in, it gives you a choice on WHERE you want the toilet bowl. I thought that was weird. Also, 25 cents gives you 20 minutes in the toilet... do you need that much time? LOL they are inviting interesting behaviour... LOL

Oh gosh! I only use them when I really need to! When I do, I make sure that I either use one of the seat-liners or I use toiletpaper and make my own liner. If the bathroom is in really clean condition, I don't worry much, but most public restrooms are not very clean. I don't even like to use the sink sometimes cause I find nasty, long hairs in them, and I don't want to even imagine what is on the sink faucet handles! NASTY!  :o

I use them if I need to, and they are fairly clean. I wish people wouldn't squat.... It's squatters that tend to get stuff on the seats! They're so concerned about getting someone else's germs but don't care if they leave theirs for the next person. BTW, according to Mythbusters and several other science investigations, the toilet seat has less germs on it than other everyday items; that is if everyone were to not soil the seat:

Hidden Nasties Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMGHFkHMhm4 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMGHFkHMhm4) (This Part doesn't actually have the myth in it. Just the beginning of the episode)
Hidden Nasties Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C24jdgMZFNw (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C24jdgMZFNw) (The myth is actually started at the very end of this Part...)
Hidden Nasties Part 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4_0PGSkka0 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4_0PGSkka0) (...and actually, you could start watching this Part and see most of this myth)
Hidden Nasties Part 4: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDpWY_H8i0I (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDpWY_H8i0I) (This Part begins by checking to see what kind of growths were collected in this myth)

I also hate guys that leave the seat down when pissing in a toilet. That also tends to leave drops all over the seats.

If people were just more considerate, then public toilets wouldn't be as scary as they are portrayed to be.  :wave:

(Edit: Oops! I didn't realize there was a Part 5: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zX-8ghbQimQ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zX-8ghbQimQ) This part has the end of the myth where they have the results from the class collecting samples from the "filthy five")
