- I have only brought my kids into a public restroom once...it was on the day of the Baptism and I was totally skeeved the whole time. I couldn't find the changing table (can you even call them tables? They're really glorified folding shelves), so I changed them on the counter in between the sinks. I can't believe I did it, but who would have thought that the changing shelf would be in the handicapped stall? WTF???
- Why do some people feel the need to wallpaper the seat with toilet paper...and then leave it there when they're finished? WTF?
- If you squat, please clean up after yourself...if you don't, you're gross...enough said.
- Do you seriously need to squat? What are you so afraid of? Clean off the seat, sit down, do your business! Is there some mysterious ass disease that I don't know about? WTF?
- I may never leave the house when the twins are potty-trained. They touch everything and people are friggin gross! Is there seriously water hot enough to clean all of the public restroom germs off of their hands? I'm no germ freak, but public restrooms really gross me out...could you tell?
- What is with some of the smells? Some of you ladies need to see a doctor...or a nutritionist. WTF???
- Speaking of potty training, would I be a bad mother if I direct my children to a nice grassy field rather than allow them in the public restrooms? Let us become one with nature!
- Is it wrong of me to absolutely love the handicapped stalls? I know I shouldn't be in them, but maybe that's part of the mystique! WTF is wrong with me?
- If the people who were in charge of running public restrooms would just buy higher quality toilet paper and paper towels, I wouldn't use so much. Aren't we all about "being green" and crap like that? Give me a nice roll of Quilted Nor.thern and some Bou.nty and I'll be less wasteful. Enough with this Sco.tt crap! See, it's always someone else's fault. WTF???
- Must you all be such freaks when grabbing the door handles? Do you really need to wrap your freaking hand in your shirt to open the door? Just get the hell out of my way...I'll hold the damn door for you! WTF???
- You know how some kids are afraid of those automatic flushers? I really hope my kids aren't afraid of the automatic flushers (BTW...a post-it over the sensor will cure this problem...unless you're like the little girl I encountered in the gym the other day who is just afraid of all public toilets. She shouldn't read this post). Seriously? I get it...sometimes I feel like it's going to whisk me away to some remote island in the Caribbean...hmmm...maybe I should stop fighting it!
- Bottom line...clean up after yourselves...if you feel the need to squat, be respectful and realize that you're not the last person that will ever use that toilet. If you have some "lady issues," please dispose responsibly. Make sure your paper towels end up in the garbage and if it's full, at least get it close...the floor is not your personal garbage can. Finally, if you know that you can be quite odoriferous, maybe you should invest in a travel size air freshener...to stick up your ass! Hahaa......sorry...I just had a glass of wine. That distasteful joke just slipped out to make sure you actually read every single word of this entertaining post!
Ummm...Please Don't Steal My Craziness...Okay? Thanks!
People I Love...follow along if you're so inclined!

we have to use a public restroom at work and i have the same feelings. how about people who don't throw their tampons away but instead put them in the toilet? we have someone who uses a paper towel to open the door and then drops it on the floor after she's done opening the door. wtf?
i like how you said you just had a glass of wine and then posted this at 6:39am!!! ha ha ha...
OK, I admit.... I am a bathroom freak. I find them terribly disgusting and it's all I can do to go into a public restroom. I do paper the seat AND squat. Gotta be careful. If there is an ass disease, I'm NOT catching it. AND, I do not open the door with my bare hand. I use a paper towel, or my shirt as you stated. Public restrooms give me the heebie jeebies BIG TIME!
I don't think I'll ever potty train the girls. I can't imagine having to help them in these filthy places!
OMG! I am cracking up laughing at the 'some of you ladies need to see a doctor - or a nutritionist' part. Seriously. What do people eat that produces that smell?!
Public restrooms disgust me, but with 2 children whose lives revolve around going to the bathroom and a baby who sees fit to fill her Huggies whenever she darn well pleases, I have been in every public bathroom within a 10-mile radius of my house. Seriously. My kids will pee at home, and 5 minutes after we arrive at the grocery store (which is 2 minutes from my house), they have to go again. And it would be just my luck to say no and then have one of them wet their pants in the middle of Safeway. Thank goodness they are very good at washing their hands!
And you don't have to worry too much with M. - he can stand and spray. H. on the other hand, will need to hold onto something to keep her from falling in the toilet. I can't bring myself to even think about what Maren has touched on the underside of a toilet seat.
One of the best skills my father taught me when I was a little girl was how to hold the panties and do it outside. There have been MANY times in my life where squatting outside was a much more sanitary option that using a public restroom, and I exercised that option.
I once read that the first stall is always the cleanest, and usually, that's true.
But, yeah, women can be pigs.
I agree, some women's restrooms are so disgusting. I'm particularly reminded of one way back when I was working that my office shared with a direct marketing office. Those women were so revolting the way they left the bathroom. Ugh, makes me cringe thinking about it.
lol! I don't get women who squat either...seriously? they just make a bigger mess for the rest of us...
I hate taking my kids into public restrooms too..but its a must when out and about...I just tell them over and over not to touch anything!
My recently turned 3 year old just became potty trained and I admit, the reason why I didn't insist on potty training until he was ready was because of public restrooms. And even when he was ready, I asked him several times if he was sure. Because this germaphobe can not stand the thought of what he touches when we go to the bathroom -ewwwww!
preach it, mama. i am cracking up all over the place right now!
and my oldest is TERRIFIED of the automatic flushers. if she sees that there's no handle to flush, she's all "i don't need'a go." and then she does go. in her pants.
