Am I the *only* guy with common sense on this floor? (bathroom rant)

Well, not exactly “wrapped”. More like someone wiped, decided that the floor was a better place than the toilet for their wipes, but instead of putting their wads directly on the floor they wrapped 'em up first.

I get a “what the hell” for the wrapped turds but not the interior decorator?

Yes, I was in the Dominican Republic last week and you can’t flush anything down there either. Not even toilet paper. Man, that took some getting used to - I admit I messed up a few times. It’s such an auto response to throw paper in the toilet that I would forget. Hopefully I didn’t ruin any plumbing forever.

So not flushing toilet paper may be an issue with people who are not used to doing it, but I am just unable to come up with a reason for most of the behavior described here.

Have a lot of toliet paper into the trash instead of the toliet here.

Major ache is the practice of squatting on the toliet. At least some don’t lift the seat so finding a public toliet without a broken seat is neigh impossible.

Florida just started a kindergarden program. First lesson should be toliet training. But then that assumes parents have house broken their kids first.

I believe that in many countries, including Mexico, most toilet paper is not flushable, good plumbing or no. It is the standard practice to put your used TP in the trashcan in the corner of the stall or, if there is none, to add it to the pile in the corner of the stall. The Santa Ana train station actually has signs in the stalls, in three languages, telling you that toilet paper in the US is made to be flushed, so don’t just throw it on the floor.

I have also been to a Los Angeles restaurant (incredibly good Oaxacan … Oaha … however the hell it’s spelled … food, waiters who barely spoke English but were friendly anyways) where they used that kind of unflushable toilet paper, and there were signs in the stalls asking you NOT to flush it.

The “please don’t flush maxi pads” signs always make me shake my head. Who the hell teaches their daughters that those can be flushed? Who the hell thinks that’s a good freakin’ idea? Women’s stalls have trash cans in them for a reason … and if they don’t, then there’s a trashcan by the sinks, so just wrap it in TP and throw it out before you wash your hands.

It boggles my mind that, in the event of a missing or broken trash can, some women/girls think it’s better to leave their used “feminine products” lying on the floor, in full view, than to be seen leaving the stall with a TP-wrapped thing in their hand to throw in the main trash can.

Now, now, MrSqishy, did Lute wake you?
