All right! I've had it!

Oh, women. Women, women, women.

If you would all just stop. fucking. hovering. over public toilet seats, nobody would have to hover. If you're that terrified, put toilet paper down over the seats. Buy those disposable paper seat covers. Or, here's a novel thought -- if you're just that disgusted/paranoid/all of the above, clean up after yourself. Jesus Christ. Mop up your pee and flush the goddamn toilet.

Like, really. WIPE UP YOUR MESS AND FLUSH. It's not that hard. If you're that freaked out by the idea of touching the handle, use your foot to flush! This, also, is not that hard -- even someone as overweight and out of shape as I am can manage that particular manouevre.

Of course, just because I'm cruel, I'm going to note that if you're not flushing because you're afraid of germs, not just because you're a lazy ass (you stupid cow, wtf), think about the locks on the stall doors. The faucets if they're not automatic, the dryers if they're not automatic, and the door into the loo itself. So, really. The flush handle thingy is the least of your worries. Oh, let's not forget the handles of baskets and shopping carts, the money in your pocket, all that.

Just wash your hands. Honest to god. All this germ phobia is making germs have to fight harder. We're making them better, stronger, faster. We're creating the Six Million Dollar Germ by being so fucking terrified! There is nothing better than soap and water. And back to the bathroom thing -- after you've finished cleaning up after yourself, and flushing the bloody toilet, wash your hands, dry 'em, and to leave, walk backwards into the door, or tuck your hand in your sleeve or something.

Jesus.

Ladies' room. HA! That's a laugh and a million.

Oh -- here's a better idea -- if you don't know how to use a public restroom like a civilised human being, stay home and shop online.

You all* make me a sad penguin. :(

*I don't mean you, unless you resemble any of the above. Then, yes, you do make me a sad penguin, and you need to have some consideration for other people.

Amen! I work with the public and the stuff they do in bathrooms...*shudders* I hate the women who use an infant sized wad of toilet paper to clean themselves, then get annoyed when the stool clogs.

Hey now! I hover! But I hover and WIPE THE SEAT IF I SHOULD SPRAY! If my fellow hoverers would have the common courtesy to wipe their own damn piss so someone else doesn't have to, that'd make the world such a shinier place.

I won't stop hovering! FIGHT THE POWER!... Er, or something.

TMI Alert!

People who do that rank on my all-time list of Worst People Ever. I have IBS. If I need to use a public bathroom, I need to use a public bathroom. I do not have time to clean up your mess.

um...

[lannamichaels]

You being them, of course. *blush*

People like that just so annoy me. On one hand they hover because they suffer from germ phobia and on the other they create nests for germs for other people, because of their totally egotistical behavior.

I am angry with you.

Have I mentioned lately how much I love you? Cheers to you, and your wonderful experiences that I share daily at yep-you-guessed-it Union Station. Did I tell you the time I saw the old bag-lady (so not PC) asleep in the stall with her pants down and the stall door open in order to fit her cart? Ladies rooms are so ridicu-disgusting! Sunday!

Ahem!

People who worry that much about personal hygiene when there's no good reason annoy me. If there is a good reason, then fair enough, but those who do it just because they don't like feeling dirty and getting germs then GAH.

Amen, sistah! Amen!

Germophobic hygeneaholic "ladies" freak me out.

Ladies' room. HA! That's a laugh and a million.

When I worked in the movie theatre what I saw these so-called 'ladies' do in there was unholy and evil. I'd honestly hate to see how they keep their homes if they leave a public place like that.

Wordy McWord on everything you said. When I used to work as a courier, I'd see what people would even do in the bathrooms of their own offices. I know that people tend to care less about spaces that they have no hold over, but how do they even pretend to justify doing that in a place that they and people they know presumably use every day? So, yeah. Grah.
