To be disgusted at public toilets?

[Februaryhere]

Why can’t folk flush the toilet and leave the cubicle in a decent state? Presumably their loos at home aren’t left in a disgusting way?

TriangularRatbag - "Men are much worse than ladies" and "Sometimes the ladies can't help it".

Can you expand a bit more on that?

My mum is disabled so when out we have to use a disabled toilet, many are in a horrific stat e

I work as a cleaner at a TGI Fridays and the ladies toilets are always dirtier than the mens and the main bugbear is toilet paper all over the floor why do people do this do they not pick it up off the floor at home, I bet they do, the mens toilets always stink more because of the urinals but on the whole men don't generally use much toilet paper so don't make as much mess I often wonder why people think oh well don't matter how much mess I make because the cleaning fairies will clean it up

I particularly hate it when you’re charged to use the toilet and they’re in a disgusting state once you enter. I already feel majorly ripped off paying for the privilege of emptying my bladder but I especially feel ripped off when the toilet isn’t even clean.

My theory as to why there is so much toilet roll on the floor in ladies toilets is because so many people feel the need to make a little layer of toilet paper along the toilet seat. Then if it falls on the floor, they think it is too dirty to pick up. And if it goes in the bowl, there is sometimes so much of it that it blocks the toilet.

I'm guessing that would also explain why so often the ladies toilets have run out of toilet roll early in the day...

If people would just accept that unless they have open wounds on the backs of their thighs, they are not going to catch something from a toilet seat, it would be a lot easier. Or, if they absolutely must hover, then at least clean the seat afterwards...

YANBU at all, OP.

I try to avoid public toilets but if I have to use them I now rise above the shitmess with my trusty Shewee. No more touching seats left inexplicably up. No more wiping up piss splatters from hoverers.

Liberation for a tenner. Only downside is the next in line probably thinks I'm the one who's left the shit stains/piss drips/seat up.

Considering taking my own loo roll now though after reading about the horrors that can lurk in dispensers

I’m going to read up about the Shewee!

The only properly public toilets I use are dirty and scary. There are always people hanging about outside and inside it's dirty and in bio way comforting re the people outside. I only use it as I commute long distances and try to limit liquids for an hour before I leave work and use the work loo before I go but if there's any delay I worry and go to this terrible public "convenience"!

I am reminded of a story.... dont know if it was posted here a few years ago, where a woman went into a circle, found an unflushed poo and came straight back out and used the next door one. As she was washing her hands another woman went to the first cubicle and did the same... cam straight back out so woman washing her hands said 'I just did that'! Second woman looked at her disgusted
