A public service announcement

[emer95]

Oh noooooooo! Someone used the restroom for its purpose! At least it was just in the restroom, and not a too late moment in the cubicle next to you. Then you would have been begging them to have used the restroom as they should have.

So true!!

Lately I am seriously wondering what the heck is up with all the bathroom talk. You can bet I would never announce a PSA like this one.

This thread reminded me of the time I was camping with my family. There I was in the washroom in one stall, my mother in the next and people waiting their turn. My mom goes for the whole world to hear and smell and I yell out "Courtesy Loretta!! Courtesy!!!" My sister, aunt and a few strangers are killing themselves with laughter and after my mom gets out goes "Why were you yelling courtesy?"

I love her, but she is a little slow on the uptake.

Courtesy Loretta!! I'm going to say that from now on when I need to remind someone...Courtesy Loretta!! You can tell your mom she's now famous!!

I'm always amazed at all the people on the DIS who are apparently able to time when they have to have a bowel movement, diarrhea, etc.

Sure it stinks, but wouldn't the natural inclination to be thinking that poor woman got unexpectedly sick? Why assume she is purposely going out knowing she has diarrhea so she can stink you out? (My pet peeve of DIS'ers always assuming the worst at work again!)

All the courtesy flushing in the world isn't going to disguise yucky bathroom issues. xxxx happens.

This thread is cracking me up...We have automatic toilets where I work, so, sometimes you get a courtesy flush even if you don't want one...It is a bit unnerving...

 

[Monte Cristo]

It's called a courtesy flush. Men do it all the time, it's showing your fellow ****mate some respect.

I'm in on the Loretta Club!

You are all more than welcome to join To this day if my sister and I are in a public washroom (heck we can be anywhere) we will look at each other and go "Courtesy Loretta, courtesy!!"

I had someone yell at me yesterday for throwing up in a public restroom. I take chlorox wipes with me now so that in case I DO get sick, I can clean up the toilet so people don't have to deal with it. I'm not going to stay home just because I'm dealing with morning sickness!

I'm sorry you were yelled at. What the heck is the matter with people.

I can't imagine somebody yelling at somebody for throwing up. Sorry you are dealing with morning sickness--hopefully it will go away soon. Saltine crackers helped me during the first trimester.

OP-- I don't think anyone actually likes having to 'go' in a public bathroom (or get sick), sometimes they have no other choice. I'm sure it's embarressing for them.

Oh, I definitely understand the "stink issue."

I suffered from IBS for 10 years, before I diagnosed myself and found the culprit of my "issues." Wheat. I apparantly have a "sensitivity" to it. If I stay away from anything that has wheat in it, I am fine. Have normal BM's. But if I eat something with wheat, oh my goodness! It is BAD!! And I definitely do the courtesy flush, several times.

But now that I know what my problem is, I try hard to stay away from wheat unless I know I'm not leaving my house the next day.

 

[bgirldeb]

I think I would just hold my nose and feel sorry for them, and be glad I'm not going through it.

It's called a courtesy flush. Men do it all the time

Not all men!

 

[GRUMPY PIRATE]

It's called a courtesy flush.

Too bad we can't courtesy flush this thread!

Do you courtesy flush with your feet?
