Topic: Official Public Toilets Discussion

The thread for recurring "We swabbed some public restrooms for germs and boy are they disgusting" news stories.

Does this story confirm the notion that the Women's bathroom is consistently more disgusting that the Men's?

[Zap]

The story is based on a paper to be presented Friday to the Infectious Diseases Society of America in Boston. The news piece is short on specifics. 

[Ceric]

Oh man... Having had to clean bathrooms for a living the women's are always soooo much worse then the mens it was not even funny... I mean you don't even stand to pee... How do you miss so much?

[NWR_insanolord]

Uh, isn't this better suited for the Funhouse?

[Zap]

I don't know, is biology and sanitation supposed to be a joke?

If you think the bathrooms are bad in NA, never try the ones in some European countries.  I was in Paris, France some years ago, and the public restrooms were practically HazMat zones...and you had to pay to use them.

Good to know for when I go to Europe

You know that feeling you get when you sit down to take a **** in a public restroom, and your dong touches the front edge of the toilet...that's the best feeling in the world.

Number 6 explains why ladies' rooms are so gross.

obligatory response/put-down: I throw mine over my shoulder to avoid just that.

I'm going to show self control and not post my responses because they sound mean.

Agreed.  I was in Rome earlier this year.  Not only do many toilets cost 1 Euro (that's like, what $1.50 to take a piss?!!) but they often don't even have seats!  You have to take a **** sitting directly on the porcelain!  I also noticed a lot of them auto-flush.  I don't mean you get off the can and it flushes automatically with a sensor.  I mean it is flushing the entire time.  So it splashes back and it feels like you're shitting in a bidet with water constantly splashing you in the ass.  I am in shock that they have the gall to charge for said bathrooms.  Everytime I used one I would tell my Dad afterwards "you know if they tried this pay toilet crap in America, especially with THESE toilets, I'll bet people would just piss and **** on the floor in front of the bathroom out of protest."

One thing that was kind of funny is that Rome's toilets were filthy but the Vatican's were spotless and all FREE.

I'm convinced that Europeans put up with it due to ignorance of the superior public washroom situation in North America.

In the US, someone would probably pay the first time, then prop the door open so that everyone could defile the bathroom with excrement, urine, phone numbers, funny stories/saying, drawing and gang markings.

Please, I feel insulted by this.
Pay the first time...
In the US we will just defeat the security measures even if it would be cheaper to do with your approach.  Though I figure its probably nothing that a good Crowbar couldn't handle.

[BlackNMild2k1]

But someone would end up paying, and while they were in there, the next person in line would catch the door before it shut and then starts the cycle of defilement.

Its nice to see the kids toilets still get adult play.

Well that explains the Wiggle in your title but, its not that impressive when your really a pixie.

HAHAHaAHAHA that's hilarious for so many reasons, but mainly because a friend of mine and I were in a Tenacious D like mode the other night and made a song about just that.

*Reggae melody*

My dick hit the toilet lid...whaooh
I was just trying to take a ****...whaooh
There was no toilet paper....naooooh
There was no toilet paper...no no no no no

Maybe, but I should also add that in France you also had to provide your own toilet paper and wet wipes.  Sure, you could bypass the door costs, but it wouldn't do you much good once you got in there unless you were prepared.
