Bathroom pet peeves.

Some people's bathroom habits reallly get to me. For instance, spitting in the shower. My dad does it, and I hate it when he visits because often I find unpleasant things in the tub.

Of course there is worse, hairy soap, popping zits on the mirror, every gross thing on the planet.

Bathrooms are just not pleasant sometimes, esp if you have to share them.

What's your worst pet peeve?

I also hate it when people put the toilet paper on backwards or worse, don't replace it when they use it up.

Not rinsing the sink after brushing teeth is another.

I work in a fairly large office with one restroom which has many stalls. Most of the time it looks like a monkey cage. Here are my peeves...

- Talking on the cell phone while using the toilet. Yes, people actually do this.

- Peeing on the seat and not wiping it up.

- Peeing on the floor. Yes, people do this too.

- Not checking to make sure whatever you put in the toilet made it down with the flush. I usually find someone else's nasty surprise at least twice a week.

- Not washing their hands.

- Leaving pieces of toilet paper and paper towels on the floor. This is our workplace, people. Clean up after yourselves!

Back to your regularly scheduled programming.

I'm right there with ya, snaffle. It's disgusting what some people will do in a public bathroom.

And really, if you stick the place up, courtesy flush or spray something. The new sprays eliminate order, not just mask it. And really, while we know ifyou spray, you dropped a bomb, but even ifyou don't spray, we know it, so just suck it up, admit that everyone's crap stinks and do what you can to make it better.

La Gringa, I really think you need to get over the 'backward toilet paper' issue. There is no right or wrong, just preference. ;)

I'm in the habit of putting the toilet paper roll on the back of the toilet, instead of in the toilet paper holder, which drives my husband completely up the wall. :lol: I grew up in a house without tp holders, and when I moved out and lived on my own, I stayed in the habit of putting tp on the back of the toilet, and just never really stopped. :innocent:

A lot of those previously mentioned also bug me, like the talking on the phone while on the toilet, and leaving "surprises" of any sort in the toilet, on the seat, or on the floor :spew: I hate toilet surprises.

My DH's lousy aim irks me too. Once he actually piddled a drip on my foot <_<

Plus there's the hair in the sink. The sink that isn't hooked up to the water yet, that's sitting on top of the bathroom vanity that hasn't been installed yet, where the mirror is propped up by a couple of paint cans. So, I'm going to add horrendously slow bathroom remodeling to the list :lol:

I happen to believe that TP should have the leading edge over the top facing down (so one can make nice little triangles like they do in some hotels :P). Okay, okay, I can do without the folded edges. <_<

But why is it that men, who can perform intricate and complex mechanical repairs on all sorts of motors, engines, computers, etc., are totally unable to put a roll of TP on the TP holder? For some reason, they are unable to extract it from the TP holder thingie, put the roll on, and re-insert the roller where it belongs. Maybe if I put pliers, a wrench, a hammer, and a screwdriver next to the toilet, he'll figure it out. But I seriously doubt it.

And, while I'm bitching and moaning, the other thing that really irks me is the peeing outdoors thing, wherever he happens to be...I mean, really, I spend enough time dealing with animal waste that I find this rather insulting. Next time I see it happening, I think I'll go get a scoop of lime and dump it on the pee spot! So there! :pissed:

Amen, sister! Our bathroom at work has a can of Glade airfreshener in it, but it rarely gets used. I walked in there yesterday and was overcome by this wall of stink. :spew: Grab the can, people!

(ew, that's the first time I've ever used the 'barf' emoticon)

Whats with the cheap toilet paper that you can only get one square at a time from the role? :brickwall: Theres nothing like hovering over the toilet and trying to get as many of those little squares so you can wipe you behind!!! :shoot:

Or when its a unisex bathroom and the men leave the toilet seat up or leave poo tracks on the toilet. Or they take a huge dump and stinking up the entire hallway and bathroom... :soapbox:

Public bathrooms are for the most part gross but I guess they are a better alternative to the portapotty at any horse show!!!

My husbands pubic hair everywhere. Do I have the only man on the planet that sheds pubic hair EVERYWHERE??? My husband seriously has almost no hair on his entire body, except "there" and it seems to shed constantly. I am so tired of vacuuming almost daily between his pubes and the JRT hair...

I just have to add that: those of you who "hover" above the toilet are usually the ones who pee on it!!!!! If you have to do that, please wipe after yourself. And don't forget the "courtesy flush!"

Who ever saw the Seinfeld episode where Elaine wanted to get toilet paper from the next stall, and the person refused?! What a hoot!

My roommate last year used to put the new roll ontop of the holder. She would remove the old roll...and then set the new one right on top of the bar part of the holder...standing up.

She also left pants with dried on mud (it wasn't even raining, she went frollicing in the wet grass from the sprinklers...only in CA) hanging on the towel hook for three weeks. Oh, and we lived right next to the laundryroom.

Portapotties in the dark suck...that's my least favorite. Totally makes me think outhouse.

Hmm Odd topic!
I am anal about my bathrooms. I hate when my husband leaves the toothpaste spit in the sink. Why cant they run the water and rinse it out. Splashes on the mirror ! AGH! Pee drips on the seat AGGGGHHH I have paper towels wet clean ups etc. never get used. He doesn't have alot of hair anymore so that is not a problem.
Toilet paper, Top sheet always over.
Things that gross me out, People who brush their teeth in the shower, men who blow their nose in the shower! UGH thats just gross. Not using spray! I have oust in both bathrooms, and I almost have him broke. Not flushing! Now that really bugs me. sometimes he just forgets. How do you forget?? Men.. :brickwall: But I know some woman can be equally gross. MY bowls must be sparking clean. Clean mirrors and clean sinks. I hardly ever go in public restrooms unless it is a real emergency. OK this may sound really gross, but whats with people pooping at work?? No way, one does that in the morning and at home BEFORE you go to work. OK so I am weird! :innocent:

My worst BR pet peeve is finding a log of poo on the floor. Oh, and let's not forget finding poo smeared on the wall in the hall BEFORE the BR.

Yes. This is at my corporate office. A publicly traded HEALTH MANAGEMENT company, no less.

HOW DOES ONE MISS THE TOILET ON NUMBER TWO OR GET IT ON THE WALL— AND LEAVE IT THERE!?!?!?!?!?!? And why is it me that has to find it????

:brickwall: :soapbox: :mallet: :pissed: :argh:

One time I saw the most horrible thing .. a portable toilet that looked like somone had an explosion of crap all over the thing, walls, roof.

I think I went behind it and peed, it was cleaner out there. It was an out of the way place.. no one saw me.

How and or why do people do this?

It's horrible. :spew:
