Women, You Are NASTY in the Bathroom


Thank you to Bert Show listener Leslie for this picture.

Women, you are nasty in the bathroom.  I have been in several public bathrooms recently where I have sat down to pee, only to realize that you had already peed on the seat before me.  Sliding on the wet toilet ring, feeling your DNA absorb in my skin, is not the way I should have to spend my stall time.

And this spillage is likely from women who, in their own lives, are constantly telling their men and children to clean up after themselves.  I know we struggle at work to get certain employees to clean up their own coffee mugs in the sink, and the cute little signs that say "Your Maid Doesn't Work Here" were designed by a woman.

So why do these same women, frustrated at the fact they are not appreciated by the people they clean up after, end up giving me the golden shower indirectly because they can't straddle successfully? What effort would it take to grab some toilet paper and wipe the seat down when you're done? If you are grossed out by your own pee think about how I feel!

And tampons.  We all started our periods on average around the age of 12, so by the time we are adults we should be experts at how to handle them when they have served their purpose.  I'm not a big believer in flushing a used tampon, but many women do.  Or think they do.  So, not only am I faced with your pee on the seat, but your old floating blood gathering around the mound of unflushed cotton at the bottom of the bowl.  It's ok to give a good hard tug to the handle when flushing.  The quick kick of your heel doesn't get the job done.

What kind of rush are we in when it comes to public restrooms? Oh but you will spend an eternity to look good before you leave the facilities.  Ladies, the big mirror in front of our bathroom sinks are not only to help you freshen your make-up, they are also for you to take a good florescent look at yourself to see if the woman looking back at you is a NASTY human being or someone responsible enough to clean up their own fluids - and be kind to the next visitor who takes her chances in the stall after you.

    What's funny about it is that the women that pee on the seat and don't clean it up are the same women who squat because they are oh so worried about catching some crazy disease from the toliet seat! You know because you can catch aids or cancer or asthma from sitting on a public toliet....

    I was a day porter (janitor) for an office building while in college, and I can tell you that servicing the women's restrooms was a far more harrowing task than servicing the men's. Nasty! It served as the motivation to keep me in school, so much so that I kept going and got my Master's, too. Thanks, ladies, and remember: be sweet and wipe the seat.

    You know... guys are no better. when i go into the stall, it's for one reason only. If I needed to make onesies, I would hit up the urinal. Same should apply to the guy before me. Sometimes, yea, the urinals are taken, and you have to go. But someone has to sit there, and i definitely don't want to be rubbing my butt all over your pee.

    I have some tips for you so that you may not be a victim of this circumstance anymore.
    1) Look before you sit. Take a huge wad of tissue in your hand (so there isn't any hand to urine contact) and wipe that seat down. Make this routine a habit.
    2) Use the toilet liners.
    3)It is time to strengthen those thigh muscle and squat. You don't have to touch the seat at all.
    I rarely touch the seat at all and if I do, I take the precautions of wiping the seat and using toilet liners.

    Remember to take control of the situation. You are either a victim or a volunteer.

    Don't ever sit on the seat!!! Take toilet paper and wipe seat first if there is not a toilet seat liner.

    hey, i know what you mean. i think this is especially gross when you're at a sporting event or concert. i have also encountered situations where pads were placed on the doors or walls of the stalls as if they were a badge of honor or a medal for everyone else to see. im a woman too, i hate being on my period, but i do not handle my frustrations/pain/mood swings by grossing out other women who have to go through the same thing i do. another thing that i HATE about Ga (i recently moved from California) is that unless youre in Atlanta there are NO TOILET SEAT COVERS, ever, anywhere. i live up north (hoschton) and even as far south as Lawrenceville or norcross there seems to be a campaign against toilet seat covers which are a MUST in public restrooms. so i am forced to put a layer of toilet paper on the seat and be very careful not to move it once i sit. it is so annoying. as it is i am against using public restrooms but there are cases where there are two options
    1 - peeing on yourself
    2 - peeing in d toilet but still wetting yourself with a strangers pee

    i think option #1 is starting to sound better and better with each unfortunate trip to a public restroom.

    oh, and btw....flushing is not going to make anyone lose a limb or a vital organ.

    OMG! I cannot believe how candid you were. Love it! OMG, I cant believe women actually pee on the toilet seat. OMG, how is that possible and if so, why do women ask men to put the seat down?

    I am so with Melissa on that. It's disgusting. I've had to make signs before yelling at people to wipe the seat, and posted them in my office's restroom, but the cleaning people take them off...

    Women, come on. Don't tell me not to sit down on the seat - it's there for sitting on it, not for you to pee on. If you're gonna stand up and pee like a dude from the distance - then act like a man, and lift the seat. I'd much rather have to put it down after than sit in your urine.

    Oh Melissa, I heart you and like Wendy Williams says, you are most definitely a friend in my head, but stop sitting on the seat!! I am 25 years old and have yet to sit on a public toilet seat in my life. When I was too little to squat, but too old for diapers, my mom would come to the bathroom with me and hold me over the toilet to avoid it touching my butt for this very reason. Public toilets are basically petri dishes. Even in the office buildings, you'll find urine on the floor and seats and dirty tampons on the floor.

    I believe you have hit the nail on the head. I wish I could do the same to the people who piss on the seat too.. I think we need to make a sign for every womens room that reads. " If you piss standing like a man then raise the seat like a man." But I guess that would be too much to ask too huh?
