In the US, public toilets are flushed using your foot. Here you have to use your hand.

I hate it when you stand to pee and there are a wall of guys waitng on you.
I sometimes get "stage fright".

I get embarrased that it's so big.

I am loving this country - I am - but I gotta say that the public restrooms are in a much worse state than anything I've ever seen in the US, hands down. I have yet to find a paper toilet seat dispenser. The water pressure is often too low to wipe away anything at all, leaving toilet paper, yellow water, or shit streaks in the bowl. In the US, public toilets are flushed using your foot. Here you have to use your hand. repulsive. And when you add that with the lack of soap next to the sink the results are horrifying.

Students are even worse. Half of the toilets in my dorm are rendered unusable because they are clogged, or full of shit. Boys pick out one stall for standing and they will piss in it until it is full to the brim, making the whole goddamn room smell like a urinal (and I am always the one stuck flushing it!) There are signs all over the place threatening us that the toilets have been reported as being in an unacceptable condition and we should have respect for others who use that bathroom.

The other day I went into a toilet across from my friend's room and it smelled like a barnyard. The toilet looked like an elephant had squatted in it. I guess someone took a gigantic, inhuman shit right on top of a 1/2 pint glass from the bar that had been dropped into the toilet. WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THEM?!?!

Think about it, you open the tab with your hands and all those other dirty piss and poo infested hands have been there before. It's wet or at least moist so bacteria are feasting on there.

Yeah, you holding your breath as long as possible...until your purple heads matches !!

I was talking about using a public bathroom. Where did you get all this from my response? I will use a public bathroom only in an extreme emergency for reasons stated by the author of this thread.

...JUNE7, theres nothing wrong with you, youve probably saved 7 years of yer life each time you do all that stuff when you go to tha' public restrooms...an 'bout you teaching yer son these habits! high five!!!

One night at the movies, my girlfriend and I came up with a lil lingo for those non-hand washers. The guy next to me at the urinal just zipped up and left. I spotted him a few minutes later waiting in the movie que, casually sharing popcorn with his girlfriend and some others. There it was, his germ encrusted hand . . . in and out of the popcorn . . . . and, ugh . . the others, the unsuspecting hands, entering that same bag, touching that popcorn which his hand had left behind, bringing it to their mouth, savoring the flavor . . ahhh.

In our disgust we laughed . . and eventually christened him a "Cocktadoor." Ladies of the same questionable virtue became "pusstadoors," and we have had quite a good time people watching at public restrooms ever since.

I think you are right on the mark June!
