Has anyone else noticed the toilets in big supermarkets like Asda and Tesco are so filthy they're practically unuseable? This despite supposedly being checked hourly!
I am disabled and have a radar key, but occasionally the one measly disabled loo is occupied and when i need it, i can't wait, so on a few occasions have had to struggle into a regular ladies cubicle.
Of the 4 or 5 cubicles at least one will be blocked, one will stink and be covered in (usually) liquid shit all round the bowl above the water line, some will have obvious stinking piss puddles on the floor, dribbled on the seat and/or the toilet back (thanks for nothing, hovering women who create the piss/germs on the seats that you're so desperately trying to avoid sitting in yourself!) and some will have great piles of toilet paper all over the floor and none in the holder. Broken or dangerously loose wobbling seats are common too thanks to those using them like squat toilets and standing on the seats instead of sitting as western toilets are meant to be used. If you make it as far as successfully relieving yourself, you get to the sinks and find little to no soap left.
Whilst i'm on a state of the public toilets rant, I have to make a weekly trip that despite only being a 40-45 minute drive i have to stop at the half way services for a wee there and back,(bloody defective bladder!) and its clear able bodied people (men!) from certain cultures are using the disabled loos to take a shit. Atleast half of the times i go in they stink, have badly aimed shit all over the bowl (they never use the provided loo brush to clean up after themselves) the seats are broken and loose from the stand and squatting, and the floor all around the toilet is drenched with what i hope is just clean water. They leave an empty self service drinks cup on the sink too. I thought people were being weird finishing their drinks in the loo and being lazy not taking the empty with them to bin, til last week when i got there as a guy was just finishing up, and i went in after him to all of the above, and it dawned on me the empty drinks cups are where they're using them after a shit to wash instead of wipe. Nice they don't take their arse rinsing cup out to the foyer to put in the bin, they leave them in the way of other users and for the cleaners to dispose of. Its really made me uncomfortable as i've always believed disabled toilets should be solely for the use of those with illness or disability that either completely prevents, or creates great physical obstacles to using regular cubicled toilets. I've never considered if a cultural belief/preference to wash instead of wipe after a shit, is a reason thats valid to use the disabled toilets, so they have the access to the sink in the cubicle.
