Always Always Always wear your shoes into bathrooms on airplanes!! why is it that folks get so comfortable, they walk around that airplane in their stocking feet or god forbid barefeet??!!

Folks, those carpets have been vomited on so many times, I can't count!! AND they don't get shampooed! And the bathrooms, you think men can't hit the toilet on solid ground?? Try them in turbulence!! That's not water sloshing around the bathroom floor.

Amanda,
This is VERY IMPORTANT INFO...thanks for sharing it with us. Now from someone who obviously doesn't fly as much as you, I found that I am more comfortable flying in my stocking feet w/ my boots off...but I always put them back on for any movement in the cabin. My question is, Why would anyone go barefoot in an airplane? Thanks again for the 411.
Be Safe...

Yikes! I do not understand people. Ew. While on a road trip recently, I walked into a rest area bathroom where the women in the next stall had no shoes on. Ackackack! And this was an especially icky rest area.

As to the rest of the conversation about toilet seats, again I say ew. I'm quite glad I'm in a household of all females!

Not my problem if the pilot can't keep the plane steady while I pee... ;-)

BUT... I don't think women can claim total innocence on this one. I'll bet there are plenty of women who refuse to park their heinies (and I don't mean Heineken) on that nasty seat, wrapper or no wrapper. I think men have better aim when you compare standing up (or squatting) to pee!

Potty cleaning!!!!!

Don't get me started......

I'm trying to train my 2 year old boy....I've been showing him how to use the potty when I use it so he gets the idea.

Well...I'll spare the details...but the only thing he has grasped thus far is that you take off your diaper when you want to go.

It makes no difference if the lid to the potty is up...heck...it doesn't even make a difference if we are sitting on the potty or even in the bathroom at the time.....This is some foul business....

Boys are gross....

Now THIS much I KNOW is not true! :-) Hovering puts you down low and right above the bowl (you HAVE to, or you miss entirely). With standing up, it's not just the aim, it's the height above the bowl that causes extra splashing and...er, spray...!

This is a major issue where I work. There is a certain group of "ladies" who leave the bathroom in such a disgusting way. Fortunately we have a contracted janitorial service that cleans it every day. It's much worse than bathrooms that I've shared when working with only men! And that bathroom was only cleaned once a week!

On that note, do you know what the difference is in an elementary girls' bathroom and a grown-up's bathroom? No tinkle spots! Little girls are too short to hover, so I NEVER have to worry about sitting down in THEIR bathroom! LOL

Okay....I thought I was done with this thread when I babbled about my 2 year old boy.....

Evidently...I was incorrect.....

I'm not trying to comment on anything I have read.....

I seek only to add some more empirical evidence to the larger discussion......

I was a bartender in 5 Points in Columbia, SC for 3 years......and then I was a bartender on King Street in Charleston, SC for 7 years.

I have seen things happen in bathrooms that about 60% of you have never seen. And I've earned money for closing the door for a wide variety of reasons....

That's my claim to authenticity.......

I can say that after 10 years of working in some of the dirtiest places in the towns I worked, that at the end of the night....the WOMEN'S bathroom was always nastier than the MEN's room.

I do not care if you are judging by sight, smell, or touch.....the women were more foul.

Now....at this time....I was most familiar with the 18-30 demographic....so adjust your opinion as you may.......

The only reason I have not been more harsh and explicit in my explanation is the fact that my wife, one of the sweetest women ever, has given her stamp of approval on my missive and will not let me say more.

I can't even begin to tell you......

Anywhoo....I'd just like to say that at certain times of their lives...women surpass men on the funk scale....and I have 10 years of experience seeing things that bolster my complaint.....*Gosh....I want to tell stories....but Blue Sky says I can not*

I have to say, as a person cleaning McDonald's bathrooms in the '80's, I found this also to be true. More clogged toilets, more paper strung all over the place, more mess at the sinks (toothpaste, make-up etc) Yuck
