Lots of people don't like to use public restrooms, and if they do use them, even if the bathroom is very clean and offers seat covers, they refuse to sit on the seat. This in turn causes the person for whatever reason to pee all over the seat. I would expect this from men, (no offense) but for women its absolutely deplorable. I am not one of those people who won't sit on the seat of a public restroom. I have never caught anything from it, and the worse feeling you can have is sitting on a seat and getting someone else's urine on you. Or you have to clean off someone else's urine off the seat in order to use the bathroom. This is a plea to everyone, to be respectful and clean when you use a restroom. Would you pee all over your toilet seat at home and not wipe it off?? Then why do it in public. Don't use the excuse they don't know, because they damn well know. I make exceptions for people who are elderly and have incontinence so they are always wet and don't necessarily look to see if they left anything behind. I know I've walked into a bathroom behind my grandmother many times and had to clean up after her. I make it a habit to have to "use" the restroom when she is done. I then clean up her mess so the next person doesn't have to see it or deal with it. But for people of age who are completely capable, have no excuse other than being nasty and having no regard for the next person who may have to use that restroom, I have nothing but contempt for you.
If you have to stand and pee because you don't want to sit, even with the seat cover available for your use, and you make a mess, CLEAN IT UP! I don't want to have to do it and I'm sure the next person behind you doesn't want to have to touch some strangers urine and disinfect it so they can use the potty. If you can't use a public restroom without being nasty about it, than wait until you go home and pee all over the seat there. I'm tired of walking into a bathroom and there is a urine all over the seat. Sad thing is, it's becoming more and more common here at school. Just because we have janitorial service doesn't make them your personal cleaner upper. Grow up and be responsible and stop being nasty. I hope this goes public and people will become aware of their actions, but my intuition tells me they already know and don't care about the next person. It's people like this cause others to start doing it. Personally I'm going to clean it up, not add to it. Sit down, I promise it won't kill you. Just check the seat first.
Okay, thanks for this. I agree with you fully. I have come across those wet seats also. That is gross and messed up that people are like that, even here at school. I am so there with you on this view. I was thinking about putting up signs that say:
ReplyDeleteIf you sprinkle,
when you tinkle
please be sweet
and wipe the seat.... lol
I was trying to think of something that was witty and funny but gets to point across, something like the "notice their is no P in pool (p is diminished so it looks like its missing) You've probably seen the signs. That is a good one.
