Public Toilet Etiquette

[bucksisgod]

I had the great pleasure of experiencing Public transport today due to dropping my car in for a service. What a hoot. By the time I got to the station to catch the train I was busting for a leak. I ventured into the first toilet to find two dudes sitting on the floor shooting up, not in a stall but in the open. 8am. Fair enough they can’t be expected to shoot up on the platform, so I retreat, hold it in and get on the train.
My back teeth were floating by the time I reached Parramatta station so I thought Id go to the toilet there, even though by the smell of the train it’s apparently acceptable to urinate whilst onboard. Anyhooo, I walked in there up to the urinal ( deep end of course ) and I look to the left and there’s an old guy sitting on the crapper taking a dump with the door open and no fkn pants on!!! Now if you havent seen a wrinkly grey old ball sack swinging precariously in the murky depth of a public convenience you haven’t been truly disgusted. By the time I finish and am washing my hands he rises, flushes pulls up his jocks and grabs his pants from the back of aforementioned open door and walks toward me pants in hand. I said “Are you right mate?” and he says “Yeah, sorry I didn’t wanna put ‘em on in there, the floor is wet”. WTF is happening to society? Is it acceptable to be “making a splash” with the door open? I’d like to open up the forum of Sherrife’s Tavern and explore rules of Public Toilet Etiquette and horror stories for the good of mankind. Do you have any rules to table or tales to tell?

I have two…..1. If you’re intending a tenure on the throne, PLEASE shut the door
2. Wash your hands ffs.

Thankyou.

You should see what goes on in the toilets at my work. I seriously don't know what some people think when they are away from their own homes. I can't even begin to imagine what goes on IN their own homes.

ewwwwwwwwwwwww.. gross.

Thank god i've already eaten tonight

i was in a public toliet today and amazed at the number of fellas who walked out either just rinsing their hands under the tap, no soap and just walking out or just simply walking out without even going near the basin.

i posted a story that was removed some weeks ago about the hawthorn supporter who just dropped his daks and proceeded to use the urnial at telstra dome.

do they charge for toliets in sydney? i was horrified at the 50c charge when in perth at the central city public toliets. they were awfully run down and in need of repair.

When doing number 1's, I wash my hands first if they're dirty, not after cos I don't piss on my fingers.

As far as the ettiquette goes, you can extend that to change rooms. I posted someting a month or so ago, I went to the local pool to do some laps and they have a change room there. So fair enough, people nude up and shower and change. But one wrinkly old fart was standing there stark naked in front of the (large) mirror having his morning shave. Ewwww. Wanted to burn my eyes out as he leaned forward toward the mirror, legs akimbo.

A girl at my work got told that when going to the loo, if at all possible you should leave a toilet cubicle empty in between users. First time I had heard of that!

I flush The Toilet Every Time I finish I hate when people who don't and just leave there waist there

I'm the same Tess... got a bit of a thing about using a cubicle next to one that's occupied (although obviously you take what you get if there's no choice). I'm not a big one for urinals either, but once again, I'll use them if I have to.

Stui I've had my own occasions when I've had the misfortune of coming across naked old men in changerooms... have they no shame?

WTF you don't wash your hands????

Even if you wash your hands before you go, you still turn the tap off that someone has probably touched with their piss ridden fingers or worse still the finger that wasn't quite covered with toilet paper after a crap, if you touch anywhere else, such as the button, or the chain on a urinal, then you suffer the same fate. I can't believe that in this day and age people don't wash their hands after going to a public toilet or even at home for that fact. I don't go to extreme lengths in my own home,because i know it is clean, but in a public toilet after finishing up, I try and grab a paper towel, turn on the tap, use soap wash my hands, use the same paper towel to turn the tap off grab some more paper towel and dry my hands and also to use it to push against the door or pull on the door handle, then as soon as i can i dispose of the paper towel. call me paranoid, I don't care, but as long as I know there are people out there like a couple of people on here who don't wash their hands I have to keep the regimen up!

Cheers

i'm a washer, but not at the airport these days. i look at all the freaks coming in and out of the dunnies all day at an airport and i just think that i'm 1000 times more likely to catch some evil bug by touching the taps there. so i have a slash and get the hell of there and try and touch as little as possible.
