Community Bathroom Etiquette

Dear Ladies,

I realize that some of you have to hover pretty darn high over the seat to avoid touching the virus/bacteria/Andromeda plastic on said toilet. It looks like for some of you aim is becoming quite bad. Might I remind you that this bathroom is used by clients as well as employees on this floor and no on wants to have to play musical toilet seats while searching for a clean one (I won't even go into the whole non-flushing thing and YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE YOU NASTY WHORES), especially not that client you are trying to land with your lovely smelling lunches that you don't offer to the rest of the floor, but I digress... Please take a moment to wipe your urine off the seat so that some unsuspecting visitor with a full bladder and weak eyesight doesn't rush in, sit down and then slide off the seat due to the slip and slide nature of which you left the seat.

Your cooperation is most appriciated.

So true, I mean would you not wipe up in YOUR own house??

WTF???

Cherlyn said...

I'm SO with you on that. I have to use a public restroom at my job. Ugh... it's horrible.

Manders said...

Totally agree. I use the out of the way toilets or go to the executive ones.

I won't even go into the other things that I've seen on the toilet seats.

You said it Sister!

Honestly - this could be applied to any women's restroom in America!

Class it up, Ladies!~

Amen! Who does that nasty stuff, anyway? Have we lost our decency?

I worked in an attorney's office for years and this one attorney used to leave "floaters" in the toilet every single day. I'm thinking, Man you've got a history of floaters ... they must float at home, don't you notice this?

Scary Mommy said...

Ewwwwww. Your post was bad enough, but "floaters" in the comment? Gag me with a spoon.

Soooo glad I rarely leave the house ;P

So, the sugar and spice and all things nice mantle takes a dent! Why am I faintly amused?

Los said...

See - all you ladies always complain to us men about our awful aim ... It's really not that easy, is it?

Oh, and I hate when people don't flush ... lazy

Missy said...

Hilarious! Women think they suddenly become "anonymous" when they close the stall door. DUH! We can SEE you walk in there, and obviously someone left a mess when they walk OUT.
That's ok, it happens everywhere. In my office there's only 6 of us and there was this mysterious "ghost turd" that wouldn't go away no matter how many times we flushed it down. And nobody would claim it. What is happening to America? (:

Suburbia said...

Oh very graphic!!

However the 'sprinkle while you tinkle' is not quite so prevalant here as your other comments imply that it is over there. Perhaps we brits 'mop-up' better?!I'm with Alaina though, just incase, T.paper AND hover for me.

omg, this post just caused soda to come up my nose. I wish i could print it out and post it in the bathroom at work!

Lula! said...

I'm printing this and making a few minor edits (so it's applicable to any public restroom situation) and plastering it in potties across southwest Virgina and northeast Tennessee. FOR REAL.

Heather said...

Oh, how rude of them!! Us girls have to stick together and they have obviously not gotten that memo. Ewwww...

As Cape Cod Turns said...

Amen!

Totally missed DC last night. Damn school committee executive session. Don't they know I need to be home by 9?! Why didn't I put the night of the meeting into consideration when I decided to run? Ugh!

KatBouska said...

Ewwwww....so gross. And I'm sorry.

Mama Dawg said...

I totally agree! I wrote a post on this as well. Both on my blog and on blog her!

Man, I hate that.

Put up a sign that reads the following:

If you tinkle wear you sprinkle where you tinkle, be a sweetie and wipe the seatie.

I admit, I am a hoverer but if I miss at any point, I make sure to wipe it up.

My thing is if the sprinkler doesn't want to wipe up their own pee or other messes (I have seen all kinds of things)what makes them think that other women want to encounter or clean up that mess? Crazy.
