Ewww...Ewww....Rude Companion Restroom experience this week.

[mrzrich]

I was at WDW this week with my ASD DS 14. He needed to use the restroom in Tomorrowland. We wait outside the companion bathroom near Space Mountain. Eventually a family emerged and hurried away pushing their stroller. DS went in ahead of me and started pulling down his pants. I looked at the toilet and yelled "STOP!" before he sat. There was a plastic sleeve over the seat. Not a paper seat cover like Disney provides. This was a plastic sleeve that slipped over the whole seat. There was urine on the seat cover. I had to touch that nasty thing and remove it from the seat before my son could go to the bathroom. It was really gross and really rude that those people would put the sleeve on and leave the pee covered thing for the next person to remove.

I washed my hands for what felt like an eternity and then used hand sanitizer for good measure. There isn't enough sanitizer in the whole world when you touch a strangers pee covered toilet seat sleeve.

Urine is sterile. The door handle, soap dispenser and sink have more bacteria than the plastic wrapper and urine.

 

[mrzrich]

Yeah that makes it ok to touch strangers urine. I usually use a paper towel grab the sink and the door handle.

BTW, its not sterile.

Urine is not sterile. While it may indeed have less bacteria than the door handle, soap dispenser or sink, urine is not sterile.

OP, sorry you had to do that - disgusting!

Urine is usually not sterile, just not able to gow anything significant from it.

But, that doesn't matter. It could just as well be sterile water and it woul still not matter.

Someone leaving their mess for another person to clean up is incredibly rude. They left the bathroom in a condition that it was not usable for the next person.
That is rude whether it is urine on the seat, toilet paper on the seat or even water, paper towels or toilet paper on the floor where it could be a tripping hazard for someone who is unsteady on their feet or needs assistance.

It's probably pretty obvious from my rant that I have cleaned up the mess left by multiple people. It usually happens several times a trip. I am physically capable of cleaning up the mess (but should not have to). I try to leave the room cleaner than when DD and I came in or call someone to clean it.
The next person using it may be alone and not physically capable of fixing it.

I can't even imagine how many germs they got on their hands while putting on the sleeve!!! Lord people. Sit on the toilet and wash your hands afterwards.

Yep.
A lot of touching involved in avoiding touching!

This sounds like the excuse I tried on my mom when she caught my boyfriend and me making out on the front porch swing.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

I went into a restroom last month and the person ahead of me must have used a full roll of toilet paper "draping" the seat. There was layer after layer artfully draped on the seat, across the seat, covering the flushing mechanism, etc. There was no way I was going to try flushing that down so I had to go find a store employee to do something about it. There were also dozens of paper towels strewn around the sink, so washing hands must have been a major endeavor as well.

I can't figure how much of a germaphobe a person would have to be to go to that lengths to use a public commode and why they would even try.

 

[Sparkly]

Ewww!

I always use a seat cover (the paper kind in the dispensers above the toilet) but always flush it when I'm finished. No way would I leave pee on the seat!

 

[ORMom2Four]

Unfortunately it's become a common issue in every bathroom at every park. On average, the first 2-3 toilets I check have urine all over them. It's not splatters from the toilet flushing either, it's yellow urine covering the seats.

SO GROSS!

I've started bringing Clorox wipes in my purse to wash down the seats before my 4 year old twins use the bathrooms in the parks.

 

[Sparkly]

People leave the restrooms in worse and worse conditions every time we go. They used to be sparkling and now people leave paper towels all over the place, pee on the seats...

 

[LiveYourLife]

If you sprinkle when you tinkle, be a sweetie and wipe the seatie.

 

[mrzrich]

I was just baffled by the plastic sleeve thing. I mean they went out of their way to put in on the seat. I just can't get my head around the fact that they left it on the seat. And yes, the way the thing was designed, they had to touch the seat with their hands when they put it on, all to avoid touching it with their butt.

 

[Tink575]

We were in Magic Kingdom today, it was packed. The state of the rest rooms were unbelieveable.

Toilets just draped with toilet paper to the point that it is a wonder the person did not just slide off. Toilet paper rolls completely empty (no wonder) so that is another thing to check for now, thank goodness I always have Kleenex. Paper towel rolls empty or standing there with a brand new roll that won't dispense because it hasn't been started, and you can't get the roll to work, what is with that? Garbage pails overflowing, soap dispensers empty.

I hate to say it but people are slobs and Disney is really letting the rest room maintenance for the basics go. It is not the fault of the cast members themselves, they are clearly understaffed.

Op-that is just gross

Some people are simply beyond odd,rude,ignorant etc..
and it's not even worth trying to figure them out-it's a waste of your energy.


On a slightly different level-but still bathroom orientated-I can never understand when a lady comes out of a cubicle, and the toilet seat has been raised?!

Probably somebody doing the public restroom "hover" that didn't want to sprinkle the seat?

Yo Disney! You need to make this one into a bathroom sign...

 

[cuches]

I typically leave any public bathroom cleaner then when I went in. My daughter has not mastered the art of hovering so she sits. I now wipe the seat and handle with bleach wipes, industrial strength! I hate when I go in a stall and there is pee all over the seat... just nasty and gross pee! Who says it's sterile? Have you sent it to a lab? Many diseases are spread through bodily fluids including urine so I am guessing not all pee is perfectly sterile
