Efficiency. Why do you think women's bathrooms often have waiting lines and men's bathrooms don't?
^ Oh i understand that. But how did the whole "Let's all pee together!" concept start?
I think that's the older norm actually. Some cavemen digging a ditch for everybody to crap in until it's full and they dig another ditch somewhere else.
Probably.
I didn't until the various bird flu / swine flu / etc. pandemics started. Now I'm glad I've gotten into the habit of doing it.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?
I won't even drop a deuce in a public restroom if there's someone else in there, unless it's a dire emergency.. Also, I don't sit down unless it's really, really clean. I'll squat over it if I have to. Funny story, a couple years ago I went to a cracker barrel, had diarrhea, had to squat because it was filthy, and ended up spraying the foot of the guy in the next stall(one of those emergency exceptions) with shit. I got the hell out of there, because what can you do? "Hey, I'm sorry I shit on your foot." That conversation would be uncomfortable for everyone involved. Especially since he was wearing flip flops.

Cracker Barrel doesn't have "ass gasket" dispensers? Worst case, you can make your own with toilet paper
Especially since he was wearing flip flops.
Ughh.
Study after study after study has shown the the toilet seat in a public restroom is quite clean. No harm at all can come from sitting on it without a cover.

What I don't appreciate are the people who have no regard for public restroom etiquette. When there are no open urinals except for the one next to me, fine, go ahead. I have no shame in that department so go ahead and take it. But three times I can immediately recall, I've gone into a bathroom- once at movie theater, once at Seatac Airport, and once at a Sea Hawks game, that was essentially empty with miles and miles of open urinals only to be joined by someone who took the stall immediately to my left or right.
I mean what the hell man? Don't you want a little space? (I realize there's some chance I was being cruised but the least sexual place I can think of is a public restroom and my demeanor while I'm in way say as much.)

If the toilet seat in a public restroom looks dirty, just wipe it down with a paper towel and water. Or carry a small bottle of disinfectant liquid soap for such occasions. It's quite impossible to catch disease germs from a toilet seat unless you have a cut or open sore on your, uh, nether regions. The paper seat covers aren't necessary; they're provided purely for psychological security.
Besides, what's life without a little risk? As George Carlin would have said, "Take a fuckin' chance!" Live dangerously -- sit right down on a public toilet seat!
Men have NO restroom etiquette, public or private. As long as we hit SOMETHING, we're happy.
I Always lock the door.
The toilets in a shopping center near where i live have had the locks put on upside down and i always forget that i have to turn the lock a different way to unlock it and end up panicking for a second wondering why the door will not unlock.

I sometimes wonder just how many of the people who raise unholy fits about toilet seats being dirty and disgusting leave them that way after using. Maybe I'm just perversely talented, but I have never, ever in my adult life managed to spray a toilet seat. I can't even imagine the mechanics involved in such a thing.
That said, wipe it away with a big wad of toilet paper, use a cover, and move on. If you gotta go badly enough, you'll go.
I personally find myself constantly annoyed with the girls at work over shutting stall doors. Our employee bathroom has two stalls, both unevenly hung, so the doors won't latch unless you physically lift them so that the lock fits into the slot. Now, I'm a hundred pounds soaking wet and am perfectly capable of doing that, but no one else seems to have figured it out and I can't count the times I've walked in to an open door and full show.

Like that old joke sign - "Our aim is to keep this restroom clean. Your aim will help."

Yeah, I never got that "making out in the restroom" fetish people have.
I never understood the cell phone conversation on the john, either.
"Yeah, how ya doing?"
*Brrrrap!*
"I was gonna call you later...no, now's okay."
*Ca-thunk!*
There have been a few times where I've accidentally walked in on someone in the stall...I was recently in Vegas and I think we were passing through Paris Las Vegas when the urge hit me...so the bathroom is so fancy that all of the doors are closed, but not locked--they had 'occupied' and 'vacant' signs. You have to push the button on the knob to make them lock. And the doors are so low to the ground its impossible to check for feet!
So of course the one stall I open has a lady in there!! I profusely apologize, and another woman saw what happened and said it was the lady's own fault that she didn't lock the door! I just high-tailed it out of there.
