Flush the toilets.

That article got me thinking…

I work at a movie theater and there are 5 urinals and 5 toilets in the mens, and about 12 toilets in the women’s…

So when we go do bathroom checks, why is there 2 toilets and 4 unflushed urinals? If your afraid of getting germs, GROW SOME, thats why they invented sinks and soap, so that you can wash your hands.
We REALLY dont like going into the bathroom to find a pile of shit in the fucking toilet, its really really not what we would prefer to spend our time doing. All you have to do is press the handle down… REALLY fucking easy.

Its even worse in the womens(I always assumed it would be worse in the mens… but its not, the womens is almost always worse, you find a pile of shit in the toilet, with a used fucking tampon and toilet paper on the fucking ground… I mean is it really SOOOO difficult to reach over and flush the god damn toilet? Do you want me to come to your house, take a shit in your toilet, leave some (hopefully unused) toilet paper on the floor? I don’t fucking think so, FLUSH THE TOILET.

And when you realize, after 5…10…20 years of flushing the toilet at home, that you can also flush it when your out at some restaurant or a movie theater, WASH YOUR HANDS AFTERWORDS.

I realize that public restrooms are incredibly disgusting half the time, but you know what, ITS YOUR FAULT.
Sometimes we don’t have time to check it for 1-2 hours and people get mad at us because we aren’t cleaning up after their pathetic asses?

Well I’m sorry, but last time I checked you still flush the fucking toilet at home, why not do it everywhere else you go? Are you going to get aids and die because you flushed a toilet, not unless you fucking lick whats inside the toilet and on the handle, and then don’t wash your hands or mouth out.

JUST FLUSH IT AND WASH YOUR HANDS.
Very easy.

Well, it’s just a waste of water. If it’s yellow let it mellow, if it’s brown, flush it down.

Seriously - who doesn’t flush the toilet? :confused:

Actually, that’s probably not a very effective method of contracting AIDS.

Shigella is another story.

I’ve walked into my share of stalls filled with poo, too. So gross. I don’t get it either. It’s fucking foul.

I’ll never forget moving from one place to another and going back to the old place a couple of days later to clean up and opening the door to a certain smell. Well I’ll be damned if one of the movers hadn’t taken a bit ole dump and not flushed the toilet. Asshole.

I agree. Urinals only need to be flushed once in a while.

Just to ask: what about people who pee in a stall-ed toilet? How about women to just pee, but do use toilet paper?

I usually flush at home, even if I just pee. Force of habit, plus sitting pee tends to cause an ugly hard to clean ring around the toilet.

Because of that, I can’t imagine not flushing a public toilet.

Probably the same stupid whores who pee all over the fucking toilet seat. It’s truly shocking to me how horrible people’s bathroom manners.

9

I imagine a lot of this has to do with the germaphobes: the toilet handle is nasty, can’t touch that. And the seat has cooties, dont’cha know, so you ladies better hover and piss all over it.

When I lived in a college dorm, I didn’t mind finding an unflushed toilet if it was pee. I mean…flushing a toilet just to get rid of some pee just seems silly…why not wait til something brown appears. But I do agree with you that an unflushed brown pot is really gross.

There’s a guy at work who goes by the “let it mellow” rule. The trouble is, there’s only one bathroom for everyone in the office, including the ladies and we tend to not like sitting over a toilet full of someone else’s pee. I guess it’s probably different for guys since they don’t have to get as close to it and are well out of the splash zone?

At any rate, this is a fairly nice real estate office and this is also the restroom used by clients. I would think he would want to keep it clean in there for them at least.

12

In my experience, the local theatres here have installed automatic toilets and urinals for just this purpose.

Morgis, you could always put up a sign… anonymously :slight_smile:

13

Yeah there are exceptions to the rule obviously. There are five women and me (a guy), in our office. We share one toilet. I wouldn’t be alive to type this if I followed that rule in there.

14

You mean the kind that flush when you enter, flush when you hover, flush when you stand back up, then flush again when you leave? I swear, the bathroom at my last job flushed about thirty-five times by itself on one pee.

15

I was talking about urinals, which would not involve your sitreps given.

And yes, guys do stand to pee in stall toilets, and so if the next guy just wants to pee, then everything’s fine. Otherwise the second guy could flush then defecate, then flush.

But really dudes, we’re having some very real water shortages in some areas, thus you’re just going to have to get over a a little squeemishness on this. “Let it mellow” is going to become THE right way. Might as well start getting used to it.

However, I can join everyone in condeming to hell those who don’t flush their shit, or those who pee all over the seat.

Can’t someone install a motion detector like the paper towel dispenser instead? The toilet sensors are way too sensitive. How about you wave your hand in front of a small plastic lens when you’re done, then you don’t have to touch anything and it only flushes once?

The newest building at my college has toilets with two buttons on top of the tank. One is for a very small flush just for pee (probably 1/4 tank, maybe less), and the other is a full flush for solids. I’m not sure why I looked, but at the water valve in the wall the sign said the water was not potable. Guess they’re using gray water or rain water for flushing. I was really happy to see that.

I used to think auto-flush was a fine idea – then my daughter started potty training. Now we have to inspect the potty first to make sure it has a handle, or she throws a fricking fit, thinking she’s going to get sucked into the toilet by the auto-flusher.

Wow, that *is *progressive. Great.

I used a public restroom at a new Walmart the other day. The only available stall was one that hadn’t been flushed. I think it was because the flush mechanism was fucking HARD to find.

This post in no way excuses the non-flushers. It’s disgusting and all too frequent. Get a clue, people. This is one skill you’ve been using for nearly your entire life. Why do you forget how to do it when you’re in the public restrooms.
