Public Bathrooms

This may be a culture clash thing, Americans and Brits seem to be generally more prudish than the Mediterranean nations. :p
 
I also have no problem with common shower rooms and I'm pretty much comfortable with being naked around other people.

While I agree with this, I really wouldn't want to see other people going to the toilet. I think it's gross. It has nothing to do with seeing someone naked.
But it's not a problem in women's bathrooms, anyway.
 
It is times like this I'm glad I'm a woman. It is becoming more apparent to me the differences in public restroom etiquette for men's and women's rooms.
From hearing stories that my mother and other women have told me over the years, there are many women who are just as disgusting, if not more so, than men.

I blame the Puritans.
I blame the fact that it's fucking cold up there! :lol:

I agree. I was trying to expand the subject so we will be talking about showering together instead of about crapping in the open. ;)

Well, I've never seen a lady leave the door open while she's on the toilet, or heard one fart in the stall, for that matter!
 
I want to know what it is about public restrooms that turn domesticated human beings into disgusting neanderthals who leave the restrooms worse than when they entered.
 
I never use the urinals. Even if all I have to do is take a whiz, I go into the stall - and shut the door. I don't care who's watching me, and I don't look at anyone else, I just think urinals are unsanitary.

And no, if I'm sitting on the can, I never, EVER take a melted chocolate bar and rub it all over my hand, then stick that hand under the stall to the next one and say "Hey man, you got any toilet paper?" Because that would be bad. :p
 
What I find funny are all of the rules one hasto follow in the bathroonm. There are some rather good you tube videos where they cover all of the "rules".

And in answer to the OP, yes, I always lock the door, deuce or not. I don't want to paint a Jackson Pollock all over the walls if some dude walks in behind me while I'm taking a leak.

"Somebody else will clean it up."

In that regard, public restrooms are no different from any other public venue. If people don't think they'll get caught, there will always be some jackass who doesn't mind leaving a horrible mess for someone else to deal with.
 
When you use a public bathroom stall do you close and lock the stall door? (Assuming it's not broken and can be locked)

It's bizzare to me how many people do not do this, countless time I've walked into stalls and seen some man standing or sitting there and I'm like -internally- "Dude, why didn't you lock the door?!"

When I'm just pissing sometimes I don't lock the door because I want to touch as little as possible of the surfaces there. What's the big deal anyway, if someone walks in he sees my back. It's not like I'm spending an afternoon in there, 30 seconds in and out.

And I totally disagree with that urinal game. While there's some etiquette regarding urinals, anyone who is that paranoid about other men looking at his penis to seriously think about that stuff probably has some deeper issues.
 
How many of you use a paper towel or something to grab the bathroom door handle on the way out, seeing how (according to stats) most men, and many women don't even bother to wash their hands when done? :klingon:
 
Wait- you're not supposed to poop in that row of toilets that's attached to the wall?

Of course you are. The stalls are for the sex.


:guffaw:

I've never understood why men's rooms have community peeing. I just don't get that at all.

My husband went to a high school that had a pool. The male students actually swam naked. WTF is up with that?!?!? Bathing suits were NOT allowed.

I feel the need to wash my hands as i back out of this thread....
