Comments on: Girls’ Guide to Being a Courteous Human Being When Sharing a Community Bathroom http://anotherhotmess.com/?p=59 Tue, 07 Sep 2010 06:24:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Becky http://anotherhotmess.com/?p=59&cpage=1#comment-205 Becky Tue, 10 Nov 2009 03:41:12 +0000 http://anotherhotmess.com/?p=59#comment-205 All of these forever. We have this extra perk to our sanitary boxes at my college. For some reason, there are students who think they should LEAVE THE BOXES OPENED WHILE IT IS OCCUPIED. I swear, a part of me dies whenever I go into a stall and find myself facing things I really should only have to endure during my own week. Also, in addition to talking, comments about what is going on should be avoided. I am forever horrified of the time when I stepped out of the stall in freshmen year and my HA who was washing her hands, turned around and said, "You pee really quietly, Becky!" Why, thank you for noticing, why would you ever want to speak of that? All of these forever.

We share the information with each other so that we know who not to shake hands with. If you ever come to my office, don't shake hands with anyone named Bob.

I was just ranting about bathroom etiquette yesterday. Ladies...I shouldn't know that you need to consult your doctor for a possible bladder infection...FLUSH for goodness sake!

In fact, my tummy churns at the thoughts of having to be in one. In college, sharing a small restroom with only four stalls with close to 30 to 40 girls was horrible. I saw everything you could possibly not want to see, hear, or smell in those things. Then I discovered a single stall handicap restroom on the first floor of my dorm that no one used, and I was saved. This is why I avoid public restrooms at ALL cost.

I did not want to be in the bathroom with people I worked with. I learned that early on after co-workers would ask me questions about a report while I'm about to do my business. Not cool.

Hopefully some people will learn a thing or too! These are all very valid points and I just don't understand why people do not follow these rules that I would think don't even need to be spoken. Even if I'm in a stall where there is an automatic flush, I will fake several false sits and stands afterwards and will ultimately push the little button if necessary. Do people not know there is always a tiny little button to force flush? Because there is! And it's there to be used!!!! Thank you for this post! Hopefully some people will learn a thing or too!

Sadly, I think he is right. I would apologize, but that would mean putting myself in with the ranks of those who don't keep it clean. Those women need to be held accountable. In the name of your son.

I know it's gross, but is it too much to ask that you check things out and give the toilet the All Clear before you leave? The floaters must be stopped. Immediately.
