Public Restrooms

Do you think public restrooms are nasty?



This morning I had to go to the DMV and while I was waiting for my number to be called I used the rest room. I go in there and got punched in the face by the foul smell. There was grafitti everywhere, the mirror was broken, and nobody bothered to flush the toilet or urinal after using it. There was no soap, paper towles, or toilet paper in the dispensers. It was a disgrace!

Most public restrooms are nasty. Our school restrooms smell horrible, as in dog crap, the mirrors have water all over them and the sinks have dip all in them. For the toilets... they have urine, dip, crap, and even blood in them and all around the seat. I'll never use a public restroom if I have to sit down, unless it is a dire emergency. I'll pee and go on with my business, but I refuse to use such a filthy toilet if I need to sit down.

The public restrooms around here are fine. Our school restrooms are cleaned, like, 3 times a day (not, like, scrubbed clean, but yeah) and the bathrooms in movie theaters, Walmarts, and other things like that are good, too. I'm not saying they're all good, I have seen some nasty ones.

I hate public restrooms...especially over here...we use porta potties lol ew gross! whoever thought of those things should be shot!

 

[Kaczynski]

They're awful. I guess they could be worse though. Train station ones are awful, restaurants are okay.

 

[Princess]

I only use public restrooms at certain places. I've seen good ones and bad--restaurants are usually the best.

I usually find public bathrooms to be pretty nice. I mean, my dorm has a communal bathroom that gets absolutely wrecked especially on weekends, so maybe that makes public bathrooms look better.

 

[Lounger]

I try to stay away from public restrooms as much as possible.

 

[sabrina]

It depends.



The bathroom at my college actually looks and smells really, really nice. So does the one in my church, but I've seen a lot of filthy ones.

 

[sbfc]

I try my best to not use them, never go to the toilet at school

 

[Skillet]

At our school, all of the bathrooms are EXCELLENT, and rarely do you hear a student say that, except for one of the 6 washrooms. All of the locks are kicked in, so you can't lock the door

I've mentioned it to maintenance, but I think they forgot.



I just use a different washroom.

 

[Ziveeman]

The one I use in college is fine, but the other one near me is bad. Everyone seems to break everything in there.

 

[Gummybear]

Most restrooms near me are pretty horrid, obviously there are some exceptions, but I mean in general.

Luckily, during the school day, my body is sort of 'trained' and I never need to go till I get home.



However, if a restroom was really bad, it would make sense just to go outside, surely?

 

[perfecttragedy]

Yes, some public washrooms are gross and just downright disgusting to go into but around here

the bathrooms in the mall are great, and the ones in our school are even better, they're always clean and

they smell nice.

I've been to washrooms in the massachusettes turnpike and they're unbelievably clean

and through out the states there are alot of clean bathrooms.

I have been into gross bathrooms, ones that smelled of... I don't even know but it was disgusting

and there was no paper towel, etc. and the floor was so dirty and they toilet was terrifying to look at.

It was disgusting. I've seen out houses that were cleaner and smelt better and that's pretty sad.

But I've actually been to more clean bathrooms than dirty, thank god.

 

[Crys]

Yes, absolutely. I try not to think about who could possibly do the things I've seen but it's hard because it's just gross. Women's public bathrooms are awful sad to say. I mean there are garbage cans and specialty containers in the bathroom. How one does not utilize them I will never know.

There seems to be more of an effort to keep the public bathrooms that I have needed to use here much cleaner in the last few years. Sometimes if I stop at a fast-food joint I'll go in the bathroom to wash my hands before I order. I remember going in the one at TacoBell a few years back & being totally grossed out....changed my mind about even washing my hands in there. The place has changed management fairly recently & I've been in there since & the bathroom upkeep was much improved.
Costco's usually not bad; but even since they've been open here I've never seen the bathroom in bad shape.

It depends on where and when you go.

No way in hell would I use a port-a-potty though.. I have seen and heard too much..

But the ones at the travel plazas and rest areas and places like Royal Farms and Sheetz are usually good though and have become some of my favorite places to stop at..

But the ones with the waterless toilets at the NY Welcome Center off I-81N are AMAZING especially when you have been on the road for a few hours and your ass is literally hot.. LOL

It is literally a breath of fresh air.. that said, if you are sharing the bathroom with other people who've never been there before then the results are hilarious.. and then it quickly gets awkward after that.. I usually make a point of doing my business and then getting out when I hear other women walk in.. I don't need to hear the "oohs" and "ahhs" when they flush.. it sounds really NSFW.. LOL

They can be, yes, and more often are than not. It's unusual to come across a clean public restroom. But when you gotta go, you gotta go.

Do you think public restrooms are nasty?

Yea. A lot of gas stations & truck stops don't keep up with them. There's been at least 2 or 3 where the smell was so bad that I couldn't use it at all.
