I had to do community service in high school (yes, I was a delinquent) and one of the things I had to do was clean the bathrooms of the school. The girl’s/women’s restroom was by far the most dirty 100% of the time. I echo everything Dean, and Alicia stated above.

Also, Im a borderline germaphobe. Sometimes I have to talk my self down when I realize I might be taking it too far. One thing I do in public restrooms though – and I know Im not alone in – is using the same papertowel I dried my hands with to open the door to leave the bathroom. I will also use that same towel to open any door I must go through to get to my destination, because odds are that the person that didnt wash their hands after using the bathroom took the same path and “germafied” (I just made that word up!) the same things Im touching. If the bathroom has no papertowels? I either grab a wad of TP or use my elbows, wrist or bottom part of my shirt to open the door.

Good post, Dean!

Well, Dean I too have ran into the same guy who washes his feet. It the Indian National who does this crap at work. The Coran is retarded making you clean your feet. And in the MEN’S restrooms the urinal does not have water flow. NO WATER so you cannot flush. This is nasty, let me tell you i walked up to a urinal at work and there were 5 FUCKING CRABS sitting at the bottom of this bowl. That is a nasty site and makes you think about your co-workers (INDIANS) a little differently. Again, this is INDIAN Nationals, not saudi or anyone else INDY.

@Tinamarie:
Umm…I think guys probably need that more than girls do. Guys not only refuse to lift the seat up most of the time, but they almost never wipe up after themselves. It’s gross. You can see how truly nasty some people are by observing their bathroom habits.

Awesome Blog!! From a woman’s point of view. I’d like to add a few things from my own personal experience, and please excuse my bluntness.
1. Women – please please please wrap your used feminine products and ensure used products are completely in the trash bin and not half hanging out!! This is disgusting. The next lady in the restroom does not want to see and smell what could be confused as a small animal murdered hanging out in the trash container. Nasty.
2. Men and Women – I will admit that a little air freshner is nice in a smelly situation, however, a little can go a long way! Please do not over spray if you are inclined to bring your own air freshner. I do not want to choke and cough to death on tiny little air freshner particles, I also do not want to go back to work (or wherever I am) smelling like a can of Glade. Another point on this, this smell is barely covering the stench of your poo, so I have to cope with choking on particles and stinky poo. Please spare me.
3. The walls are not another means of wiping or for poo (or other things …see my #1) artwork. Please use the toilet paper, that is what it is there for.
4. Just to add on hand washing – if you are noticed at work not washing your hands – please know that the word will spread and you will be known as the nasty skank who doesn’t wash your hands.
