I can be in some really nice restaurants or some really shitty pubs but one thing I always find are that the toilets are utterly disgusting! Whether that be toilet roll on the floor or an over whelming smell but I can’t be the only one to notice!

Ladies toilets are rank.
My post on the last thread got deleted and people claimed I was lying as I said about the way one woman at my work leaves the toilets Envy

Nothisispatrick · 20/08/2018 19:45

Women are utterly disgusting in the toilet. We’ve had loads of threads about this and some of the stories make me feel ill!

JLG19 · 20/08/2018 19:47

YANBU. Some women are disgusting.

Anxious2niteaaah · 20/08/2018 19:49

I agree op, in the last couple.of weeks I've been in public toilets in different places and there has been pubic hair and "smears" of what I'm hoping wasn't faeces, in others you have pee on the seat or on the floor...

It makes you wonder do they leave their own toilets at home in such a state? And if they don't, then why do they feel the need to leave a public toilet in such a state...sometimes you wonder who potty trained them as kids, because as adults they clearly haven't mastered the art of using a toilet properly and cleanly

Dustychandeliers · 20/08/2018 19:49

I’m glad it’s not just me! I must have missed those threads. It really does make me feel ill the way some are left!

YANBU I wish we could have seat covers like they do in the states. Most toilets stink and the sinks are grim always soaking wet with wet tissues around. Disgusting.

TheDairyQueen · 20/08/2018 19:52

I hate pub toilets with a passion, whether it's the noxious stench, skid-mark stained loo, piddle drenched floor with seizure inducing fluorescent lighting, or the extractor fan that sounds like an RAF-fucking Tornado jet roaring into life but still seemingly leaving the faint odour of stale shit mixed with cheap soap, they're the worst.

DameDoom · 20/08/2018 19:54

YANBU OP, I have experienced too many foul ladies loos to mention.

Shitty paper chucked on the floor, poo and period splattered up the walls and door ( you'd need an arse like a sprinkler to achieve that) and seats covered in piss and pubes... not to mention the almost suffocating stench of unwashed fanjo.

sexnotgender · 20/08/2018 19:55

I don’t know where you guys live but it’s rare I find the toilets in a state unless it’s a total dive I’m in.

MyBrexitUnicornDied · 20/08/2018 19:57

There’s a Tesco near me that stinks to high heaven. There’s no windows and clearly no one thought an extractor fan would be needed Hmm

Mostly it’s not the customers fault just a stupid design flaw. Some toilets are pretty good but some are rank - even in relatively nice restaurants.

Shartnado · 20/08/2018 19:57

Jesus I have never found a toilet in that state before! Sounds grim. The worst I've encountered is when lots of people have used the short flush so there ends up a huge wad of toilet paper in the loo where it's not all going down properly.

cariadlet · 20/08/2018 19:58

I hardly ever see anything like that. Most of the women's toilets I've used have been fine.

I thought men's toilets were supposed to be really disgusting.

ErrolTheDragon · 20/08/2018 20:00

Me neither. Though I don't go to pubs (other than the sort that are more for food), I guess anywhere people might get drunk could be problematic. Bet the men's loos are worse in those places though (the smell sometimes emanates from some of those), some of these posts make it sound like its specific to women's loos.

mimibunz · 20/08/2018 20:01

I agree, they’re generally disgusting. I work in a professional office and they are so gross, and we complain but what else can you do? Period blood on the seat? 🤢

Lightsonthewater · 20/08/2018 20:01

It’s a recurring dream I have, there’s a long row of toilets like in a motorway service station and not a single one is useable. No idea what this dream means or why it’s recurring but I’ve clearly visited some disgusting loos and can’t forget it!

Jaxhog · 20/08/2018 20:04

They can be (I must mostly go to better places though !). But the gents are even worse.

I did go to the ladies at Blenheim Palace once, where someone had smeared poo up the walls. Not what I expected. Never bee to the loo in Tesco (or any other supermarket).

Naty1 · 20/08/2018 20:04

To be fair it may not all be the adult women as there are so many kids (m&f) in there.
I was in a bowling place last week and OMG it was disgusting the loos were brown below the water. Toilet paper everywhere and someone had contructed a seat of loo roll and left it there.
But tbh some people are disgusting- somewhere serving food 2 customers sat kid down to put shoes back on and both put the shoes on the table!! Wtaf!!
I also find some cinema loos stink probably as they are internal but also the food people are eating there all that sugar/coke

DameDoom · 20/08/2018 20:05

The shitty splatter-fest I experienced most recently was in a Cote Brasserie. I complained and apparently the loos are checked every 30 mins although how on earth shit can dry that quickly, I do not know.

We got our entire meal free after I'd asked the manager to go and look. I had eaten before visiting the loo or would have walked out.

mychildrenarebarmy · 20/08/2018 20:08

I work in a place where part of my job is to clean customer toilets. The ladies are far worse than the gents.

foxyknoxy30 · 20/08/2018 20:10

I actually put a message on my works internal communication page to the ladies asking them to leave the toilet how they would like to find them!!!Sometimes the ladies toilets are absolutely disgusting and I can't believe the condition ladies leave them after they have been.😠😠

MarthaArthur · 20/08/2018 20:12

I did a stint cleaning pub toilets and then hotel rooms as a teen. Honestly men and womens toilets are both disgusting. Mens smell much worse. Suffocating shit and testosterone urine smell that never goes away. Womens smell less but are untidier. Both are horrid. The public in general are dirty.

ShutUpBaz · 20/08/2018 20:13

I work in a pub and I agree with PP. The ladies are far more disgusting. Period blood and shit splattered up the walls. More often than I'd like we see full on pebble dashing, like someone has bent over and aim their liquid-torpedo-turd up the wall.

God knows what possesses people to behave like that, drunk or not.

PavlovianLunge · 20/08/2018 20:14

Gents tend not to be too bad, in my experience, though urinal troughs in pubs can get a bit ripe. Envy

At one place I worked, one utter scumbag would pick their nose and wipe their treasures on the walls. Not just disgusting, but so disrespectful of the cleaning staff. Angry

Flamingo19 · 20/08/2018 20:15

I am always shocked at the state of our local Costa Coffee’s toilets. I appreciate there is only one mixed toilet, but I often sit there after using it looking around thinking “none of these people look like their capable of leaving such a mess” Grin The stench of urine, and wet tissues all over the place and all over the seat Sad

ACatsNoHelpWithThat · 20/08/2018 20:18

Lightsonthewater I have a similar recurring dream! Well not so much the dream, but the situation where I can't find a usable loo e.g the doors will be missing or they will all be blocked. Glad to know it's not just me, I have no idea what it symbolises!
