Umm omg. You don't even remember? When they thought that terrorists had released biological weapons into the United States, and it came in the form of powder, so Disney stopped using powdery soap.

 

[topaz_onyx]

I don't even know if they released that new in the uk so sorry

yeh jen i didnt know that
could be that we're from the UK?

 

[Babyjustrun]

I remember hearing about it.
But Canada is right next to the US, so we're usually sometimes equally as afraid.

Sorry, I didn't know she was from the UK. Anyway, I am not even sure Disney has that soap anymore.

 

[Mickey1122]

Some of these make me go EEWWW!! Luckily, I haven't come accross too many problems. Even at Disney, I know where the 'little known' facilities are located.

I so agree.
This happened to me in the mall this weekend.

me too. and then there was a long line and i was in front of this lady with a stroller. now i was waiting for 10 minutes to use the bathroom and she had just gotten there.....anyways, the big stall opened up and i went in it because the others were full and i had to go. she thought that since she had a stroller, she could cut in front of me to use the big stall. when the person walked out i started walking to the stall and so did the lady. but i got there first so she had to wait. when i came out, she glared at me. i was gonna say something but i just kept walking. im sorry. but if there are other people in front of you, you have to be respectful and wait in line.

Nice story Hilary.

If the bathroom smells bad in anyway, I hold it. I just cannot stand bad smells, I just can't.

ewww! like porta potties? those things scare me!

No..ew...I have never even used a porta potty. *gag* I meant like public bathroom, if they smell I will just hold it. I cannot stand bad smells of any kind. I almost puke when we pass the brick making place (sulfur smells like rotten eggs) everyday.

When I was younger and my family was going on a long car trip, we stopped at a gas station to use the bathroom. It was one of those gas stations where the bathroom is on the side, outside, and you have to get the key from the gas station attendant.
Well, when I went in I saw the nastiest thing ever. You-know-what smeared EVERYWHERE. Walls, toilet, sink, floor. It was disgusting. I almost threw up. Needless to say, I didn't use the bathroom there, and was wary of using it anywhere else.

And in my opinion, Wal Mart bathrooms stink the worst. Ew.

I do not use the bathrooms there. I would rathar pee on the floor.

The thing that really annoys me is when groups of people hand around in the restrooms.

Well, some may be parents waiting for their kids.

My dad promotes bicycle races in the spring and my mom, sister and I help him out. We do about two races a year (Saturday and Sunday) and they are the largest races in New England...we have people from Canada coming down JUST for my dad's races. Anyway, since they are huge, there are A LOT of people and the races are normally held at schools...so there aren't that many restrooms.

We set up registration in the cafeteria and each year, my sister and I have increased the amount of "Bathrooms this way" signs with arrows pointing where. We would literally put one next to the other making a trail to the bathrooms -- because every year we get at least 20-30 people who don't know where the bathrooms are -- and we make sure they are clearly marked.

Well, this past year we had the most signs ever and we STILL got people looking to find where the bathrooms were. I was standing right under a sign once and I was very busy. I was working registration with my mom getting all the racers to check in and register for their numbers. That involves a lot of paper work and money. Anyway, I was in the middle of handling a rather large crowd at my category and this guy comes up to me and asks, "where are the bathrooms?" I had a thousand sarcastic comments for him lol...but held it back to be polite. heh. I turned around to face the sign and then back at him and then pointed in the direction...he looked at where I pointed and then back at me and said, "so where?" I said, "there are a lot of signs leading to the bathrooms, just follow them in that direction" and I pointed again lol. G'ah, and there were too many of those people.

It annoys the crap out of me when people are so oblivious to where the bathrooms are despite the answer looking them straight in the face!! It's restroom etiquette to look for any marked areas for restrooms BEFORE interupting someone else to ask where they are.

During these races...I don't know WHAT the females do...but man, they STINK!!!! I promise you I have never smelled anything more foul than what I smell as I pass by the women's bathroom. It has this odor of lubricant stuff or whatever the heck they spread on their legs for racing mixed with some bad gas and maybe a little feminine odors...it's nasty and disgusting. My sister, mom and I make it a priority to use the bathrooms before the racers start pilling in. Going INTO the women's bathroom is even worse than what it smells like outside the room. But walking by the men's bathroom is like walking by a bed of roses rofl

I think these women need to either apply whatever crap they are spreading on themselves BEFORE they come, or at least bring some sort of light spray to help mask the odors...it's just nauseating to smell.

Another time during a weekend of races, I had to use the bathroom. This wasn't a school this time, it was a vacant restaurant patio thing. The bathrooms were in a building next to registration and I thought to go use it since, I mean, I really had to go lol. Now, this was a while ago and I was pretty young...so I walk in and the first thing I see is a woman walking around as naked as nature made her rofl. I was horrified!!! I saw she had a pile of clothes there and she started to put them on at her own leisure...she didn't care at all that I walked in to see her standing there butt-naked! lol. Talk about being confident with yourself! I ran out of there and needless to say, as a little kid I had to tell my sister of the horrors in that bathroom and I warned her not to go. lol.

People...if you're going to change, change IN the stalls!!! Don't change in the main area where everyone can see you! I didn't want to see her!! The image is burned in my mind forever rofl.

I hate troughs. Ladies, you're lucky you don't have those.

Oh just ew.

 

[Babyjustrun]

We don't have bathrooms in our Wal-Marts, I do not think.

I do not use porta-potties, I wouldn't be able to stand it. When I went to my friends trailor on Grand Lake, I couldn't well you know, in the trailor. So, for about a day and half I refused to go to the outhouse...

Back when we had the Rolling Stones come, it was an outdoor concert. We had a beer garden, and a 'porta-pottie land'. The guy on the radio has a song: "Magnetic Hill, that's where I've got to pee!"

 

[PurpleDucky]

EEEWWW. i've walked into one where it was on the ceiling above my head and it was slowly falling

oh also:

people who don't flush number 2's(or 1's for that matter)
people who stand on the toilet and look over(what are we in nursery?)

'liquids' on the floor. i don't care what the liquid is it doesn't look pleasant and i gag even thinking about it

That made me laugh. I normally just laugh in my head for stuff that I see is funny on the internet, but I LOL'ed

 

[Tinkerbell424]

I hate when there's pee on the seat.

I hate when you walk into a bathroom there's food and thing's everywhere!--I walked into the bathroom at my school and in one of the toilet's there's a milk carton!I mean like ew,why can't you throw away your bitten apple and milk carton in the garbage can??

That's about it for now

 

[Vannah]

I try not to use public restrooms if I can help it. That way I avoid all of the things mentioned.

 

[CastawayJ]

i hate it when a guy brings a girl with him into the bathroom...

and when guys/girls think its okay to walk through the other gendors lockorroom at our school, they may want to strip for you but maby your not so willing to do it for them
