Bit nasty tho isn't it? Take them home and filth up your own sink. I agree about child poo/adult poo differences. It's like meat eating/grass eating animal poo. Big differences.

The cleaners at our local FE college have frequently been spotted washing out the loo brush after use in the sinks Shock

Eve4Walle · 25/08/2010 16:15

I's throw them away or put them in a nappy sack to take home, for sure.

At Kew Gardens today, chaned DS bum, put his used nappy in a sack and then opened the bin to pop it in. This would have been okay except a shitty baby's vest had been shoved in the top and fell onto my feet. I was NOT a happy bunny.

Some people are just no better than dogs though.

I often eat my dinner out of a public basin so i can really understand where the original poster is coming from

violethill · 25/08/2010 16:23

Yuck, really inconsiderate. If you don't want to chuck them, then bag them and wash them in your own sink. It's not like they can be worn once they're soaking wet anyway, so they'd need to be bagged anyway.

This is why I never put my handbag in the sink when I brush my hair or do my makeup in a loo.

Did see someone blowing their nose into their hand and rinsing their hand straight under the tap at Disneyland once. And before that I would have said one could eat one's dinner out of those sinks, should one have been so inclined.

HELLO!

Is anyone going to answer my question please?

What would you do if your child became violently ill with the galloping runs and you had no wipes, no nappy bags, no change of clothes, because they are too old for all of that stuff?

I chucked the pants in the sanitary bin and did about 1000 trips from the sink to the cubicle with toilet paper and squirts of soaps and RINSED HIM IN THE TOILET.

There, that's disgusting isn't it?

AND then we had to walk back to the car with him wearing shitty trousers and we had to get into the car and...

I've seen stuff, man.

EdgarAllenPop · 25/08/2010 16:42

erm..worse happens to public sinks.

Casserole · 25/08/2010 16:45

One pair of pants - chuck in sanitary bin or put in nappy sack and take home.

The scenario Shirley describes:

  1. Throw pants away.
  2. Clean DS up in cubicle using loo roll and hand soap as best I could
  3. Turn shitty trousers inside out, so worst of poo is now on outside. Wipe as much off as poss with loo roll / hand towels. Then flush toilet whilst holding shitty bit of trousers under the flow of clean water coming out the flush. Repeat as necessary then dry them with hand dryer.

Sorry by the way. That must have been awful Sad

violethill · 25/08/2010 16:48

What casserole says but I would use a jumper/
tshirt tied sarong style rather than putting the trousers back on the child.

But I definitely would NOT wash shitty clothes in the hand basin - it's gross

ShirleyKnot · 25/08/2010 16:49

Oh man! He was crying something terrible as well because people kept walking in and saying "JESUS! THE STENCH!" and similar.

He looked up at me, all Puss from Shrek, and whispered "why are they insulting me?"

So I was all matter of fact and said "THEY WILL NEVER KNOW IT WAS US!"

ha.

wait...that probably means he will have a lifetime of crime and vandalising public inconveniences now doesn't it?

LadyBiscuit · 25/08/2010 16:53

His future's fucked Shirley. Start saving now.

I would chuck shitty pants. There is a big difference to doing it at home. And here I do it in a nappy bucket and chuck it down an outside drain.

Casserole · 25/08/2010 16:54

Oh bless him it just sounds hideous.

Bet you were both glad to get home that day!

ShirleyKnot · 25/08/2010 16:57

I was sweating conkers by the time I got out of that hellhole toilet cubicle.

He was like pigpen from Snoopy, everyone kept well clear of us.

Got home to a hot bath (him) and a gigantor glass of wine (me)

I carry a little handy pack of wet-wipes EVERYWHERE now (although that would be a bit like pissing into the wind with the sheer amount of...nope, TMI)

tametiger · 25/08/2010 17:13

I have to confess that on more than one occasion, when I was a lot younger, and after a few glasses too many - I have peed in the wash basin of our B&B room rather than run down the hall in the dark (pre en-suite days). Sometimes while DH was in the room. And once rinsed out knicker-crotch in public loo basin after early arrival of period. Is this OK?

gagamama · 25/08/2010 17:17

YABU, it's probably a bad idea to touch anything porcelain in a public toilet, and it's not exactly like it's impossible to wash your hands without touching the actual sink. In fact I can't imagine why you would.

emkana · 25/08/2010 21:31

It wasn't so much that I thought I would touch anything on the sink (even though I can't vouch for all the small children there, was a soft play centre), but it was the awful awful smell and just the sight - and the woman took ages at the only available sink in the loos.

hope she then dried them under the only drier then popped them back on the child Grin

Sassybeast · 25/08/2010 21:41

Peeing in a sink is grim. Rinsing out shitty pants in a public basin is grim - especially if there are chunks left in the plughole.

marge2 · 25/08/2010 21:43

I would have rinsed the pooey pants under the flushing loo as many times as necessary and then bagged them or wrapped them up pin tons of loo paper and taken them home for a proper wash.....after washing my own hands about a million times in the sink with lots of soap.

easy....

marge2 · 25/08/2010 21:46

Not totally sure how I would have handled the situation with the poor 9yr old though. Poooooor thing! Bless him.
