Aunty Social Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I've been known to loudly comment to my dd's about the state of the toilets - usually when the offender is still in the restroom washing their hands. (stupid busy highway rest areas:glare:) Public toilets gross me out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever been tempted to say that?:rant: Laurie4b (Who just returned home from traveling and stopping at many rest stops and restaurant bathrooms.) Well, sometimes it's clearly yellow and ya know it's pee. Sometimes the splashing of water as it flushes will get it wet. I once complained loudly in a turnpike bathroom and had to eat my words as I flushed and saw the water splashing all over the seat. I would rather pee behind a tree than use a public bathroom.

lionfamily1999 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 No, I would never do that. Only because I detest public restrooms and I'm too scared of confrontation. My kids, however :glare: Have no problems saying, OMGOSH Mom! That lady left a HUGE POO in the potty! OH MAN! OH THAT'S SO GROSS! or Did you hear that Mom? The person in the next stall FARTED, ewww! Oh it stinks!!!!! I miss it when they used to just sit and sing :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgiana Daniels Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 {{insert shudder}} Eww. And I read somewhere that when you flush the microscopic spray has a huge splash zone. PS.

CalicoKat Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 about not washing hands...... we don't, won't, and I don't encourage it in public bathrooms because my (little) children think all running water is to play in. AND playing in a public bathroom sink is ewwwwwww!!!!!! Since they're all potty trained and are faster at peeing while "hovering" than I, they get a head start and play in the sinks. Instead I carry babywipes and/or hand santizer for this purpose. I do wash my hands with soap and water. But I don't play in the sink........:D When they stop this nasty fascination with sinks we'll take another approach. My 10 yo is the only one who joins me, responsibly, at the sink.

PiCO Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 *This* is why I hover. :) But if you didn't hover, you wouldn't splash pee on the seat. Maybe you can put the seat up while you hover. Or wipe the pee off the seat when you're done. (And by "you" I don't mean just you, I mean every woman who hovers.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you going to wash it in the public sink? I don't think people would appreciate wiping urine out of the sink any more than having to wipe the urine off of the seat...especially if there is anything on it that isn't just urine. It says you can just throw them away, but at $7 a piece, I don't think of that as being very disposable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you could discreetly wipe it out in the stall and store it in something (ziploc bag?) until you are at your destination and have more privacy. I'm probably less squeamish about such things since I use a DivaCup. We own a campground, believe me, people are capable of putting a LOT grosser stuff in sinks than urine :glare:.

What I would like to see is toilet seat covers in all public restrooms. Then we wouldn't have to break a sweat by hovering all the time! Me neither. But I am very good at avoiding public bathrooms. As for hovering making a splash, drop some toilet paper in the toilet before you hover and there should be no splashing. For my recent three day trip I took: These toilet seat covers (They're large, waterproof, stick in place, and easy to toss.) and this Potty on the go for dd who refuses to go near a public restroom.
