Good rules for the ladies room.

[teague]

Got this idea from scathedobsidian.

You know there is no greater proof that woman is more civilized than man, than the state that they will keep their public toilet facilities. Men's bathrooms are notoriously foul, stinky places that most women would rather stand in a line doing the peepee dance than risk going into. That being said women are not innocent, and they *are* slipping it seems to me these days. So..

Some Rules for the Ladies Room

First thing: Flush the damned commode! It seems almost every time I go into a public woman's toilet there is one stall with some nasty mess left behind by some female that's too inconsiderate to lean over and push a button, or lever. My theory is that they are so germ phobic that they think they'll catch the walking Ebola from the flush handle. Well guess what? You won't. I saw it on Oprah. If you are really that scared of germs, don't use a public toilet, and don't wash dishes either. You'll just have to take it on faith. And here is another tip: Washing your hands solves that.

Here is a good idea: Knock first! Men may not have this problem, but god, if I have been interupted on the potty by some dame that sees a little slit in the door because it doesn't lock once..I've had my bladder get sprained by startlement a thousand times. You don't even have to bend and check for feet ladies. Just knock..and wait for an answer.

How about this: Clean up after yourself! In addition to the lack of flushing, there is also often strips of toilet paper on the floor, on the rim, on the floor. Come on..And for you ladies too shy to just sit the hell down, you are not a man. Your aim is bad. Please give a courtasy wipe to the seat there, ok? We can see the yellow drops.

This next one the men will find pretty gross, but that is ok, because I think it's pretty fucking gross too. For when you women are on your period: Wrap your sanitary napkin in some tissue to dispose of it! I'd like to say that one would have to almost be looking to see this isn't being done, but there is a wide variety of trash cans in women's rooms, and some are wide open. And for those bathrooms with the cans with little doors, just think about the poor folk who have to empty them! Are you so high on the food chain that you'd be so crude to the janitorial staff? Yuck.

Lastly: Mind your children!This isn't the worst thing in the world, but refer to the rule about knocking. Children are short, and naturally impulsive and curious. They will look under doors, and stare through cracks with no shame at all if no one stops them. They will push open doors with bad locks. They are evil.

Any of you ladies out there feel free to add more.

Dear God, why would anyone ever want to knock on a closed door?

Because if they don't knock, and they just *barge* in, they sometimes barge in on people with their pants around their ankles. This may not be a problem in a men's room. It *is* a problem in the ladies.

Plus, I should add, that often there are empty stalls with doors that are closed by gravity in a ladies. Sometimes there isn't a line, but it's busy enough that you might see a stall that appears empty when you glance for the shadow of feet. (Never bend all the way down, just enough to look for the shadow, or shoes.) Knocking spares children who don't have as long of legs, and short folks.

Don't talk on the cellphone in the bathroom

Don't leave the stall door open.
