Theme Park bathroom question!

[CarolA]

I spent part of yesteday evening and this evening at Epcot and I have a question!

Do some ladies think that they have a personal flusher????? I can't tell you how many toliets I went into where the last woman was appearently unable to determine that that metal handle on the walll was to be flushed! These same women also seem to fill the urdge to cover the entire floor with extra toliet paper. Now I KNOW that it was not in that mess when the lady went in! Do you think these woment leave this kind of mess at home? The only person I can figure who probably has a personal flusher is Her Majesty, the Queen of England and no one I saw resembeled her!

I really had to keep biting my lips shut so I did not ask these "ladies" to clean up thier own mess! So should I have said something? And what do you think Dear Abby or Miss Manners would recommend in this instance?

I agree some women are disgusting. I feel sorry for the attendants that have to clean up.

I can't understand the women that have to line the whole area with tissue or the paper seat cover because they are so concerned with germs then leave that mess for someone else to see.

Everyone should have alittle consideration for the next person that needs to use the facilities.

I'm always looking for the handle flusher in bathrooms at WDW because ya never know if it's a manual or one of the "magic" toidies that flush on their own!!!

Speaking of "personal flushers" I did see a news story this weekend that celebs are hiring people to be their "potty guards"!!! OY!!!!

My kids schools' have automatic flushers, so they have gotten out of the habit of flushing anywhere! It's a constant struggle at home, and I know my youngest always has to be reminded to flush in a public bathroom.

Carol, thanks for voicing the opinion of many of us. I mean really. Not much usually bothers me but I can't understand why they don't figure how to get rid of their waste before they leave the stall.

Your post just reminded me, when my kids were really little, that automatic flusher thingy scared the heck out of them!
I told them Mickey put these in to keep his bathrooms clean for us...thanks Mickey!
Now if we could just train the grown ups to flush...

I hate it when people tinkle on the seat and then don't wipe it up before flushing. And you can tell it's not toilet spray from the flusher because it's yellow. Eeeewwwwwwwwww!

That is one of my pet peeves too.

A few years ago a friend was with a group which had several intl visitors in it. She made the same comment about unflushed toilets. Come to find out the intls thought all the toilets in the USA were the automatic ones. So this could account for some guest.

I agree! THEY wont sit on the seat because THEY are afraid of sitting on germs and then THEY leave pee on the seat because THEY didnt sit(or wipe up).
What do they think the next person is suppose to do?

Its all just gross

 

[SkylarKD]

I agree. Gross, gross gross!!!

It makes you wonder what sort of bathrooms these folks have!

My own philosophy is to leave the place as you would hope to find it, but that shouldn't run to having to clean up others' messes.

Personally I always wait a while to see if it is an automatic flush, if nothing happens after a few seconds, I look for the button/handle, it's just common courtesy and shouldn't be beyond the intelligence of most folks.

"Sprinklers" are the root of all evil, LOL. I find that that habit has gotten so pervasive that I've begun to just proactively wipe the seat of every public toilet I use. Blech!

 

[DwarfMaster]

If you Sprinkle when you Tinkle, be a Sweetie & wipe the Seatie!!

While on the topic of bathrooms, for a listing of good and not-so-good bathrooms at the Disney-MGM Studios, try http://www.mgmstudios.org/bathrooms.html

Matt, thanks for the bathroom link!
I impressed DH by knowing how many rooms were in each resort (learned from these boards, of course), and now I'm a Disney bathroom expert! He's going to love this LOL!

I actually "snapped" once from too many "sprinkled seats" and sent a woman back in to clean it up.
There was a long line in the bathroom at the Land in the lower area. From the waiting area, you can see into the stalls when the door open, so I knew that stall DID NOT look messy when the woman went in, but when she came out, she had not flushed and the toilet was covered with sprinkled toilet paper. I said "Excuse me, you need to clean up your mess." She said she "No English" and tried to leave. I just said, "You make a mess, you clean toilet" and she did go back in and flushed it, but did not get rid of her toilet paper. I said, "Not clean." She went back in, threw the toilet paper in the toliet and reflushed it, then she made a real exaggerated sort of "OK, are you happy now" gesture and turned to the crowd with a "this woman is nuts" sort of look. I said "That's good. Thank you for cleaning," the lady behind me gave me a pat on the back and the rest of the people waiting burst into applause. The woman slunk out of the bathroom (without washing her hands, but that's another thread).

LOL!!!! Oh, that's AWESOME!!!!

 

[CarolA]

WAY TO GO SUE!!!

 

[WDWguru]

This is a huge pet peeve of mine, too! Not that it makes it any less gross or rude, but fyi urine is actually sterile. Getting some on you won't actually hurt you or give you diseases. It's feces you have to worry about.

Too much information?!

Thanks, but ICK!!!!
