Cleanliness Is Next To...

I agree with you! It peeves me that people can be so digusting. It only takes a few minutes to wash hands. I cringe when I see women just walk out of the restroom without washing. I always wash my hands and then once I leave the restroom I use hand santizer. I always have it on hand.

Quite gross indeed

I used to think that the guys were gross when it came to not washing their hands and leaving the restrooms gross, but now I've seen more women being just plain nasty. Leaving used pads unwrapped in the trash, not flushing the toilet, going #1 on the seat, I mean comeon, that's gross. Women out gross the men by far now. Working in a restaurant I know because I have to clean the RR daily and it's just plain nauseating. I won't go in there without gloves at all and I'll wash my hands at least twice and then sanitize them after I get done cleaning it.

I've seen that - in bars and restaurants too! ew!

I always wash my hands after using the restroom, and I won't touch the door after I have washed my hands. I save the paper towel to open the door and then I try and throw the paper towel in the garbage can.

You defeat the purpose if you touch the door after you wash your hands.

Eww...I don't care if women "hover" when going, but I hate it when they spray and don't wipe down.

please check before leaving the bathroom.

Yuck! It just disgusts me to go into some rest rooms, the state they are in! And anyone that doesn't wash their hands is just plain dirty, no two ways about it! I absolutely refuse to touch anything with bare hands in rest rooms - thank god for paper towels. And when all they have are those stupid hand dryers (that dry your skin out but not off), I use a kleenex from my purse to turn taps, open door etc.

I remember the time we were at a store on it's first day open and already someone had gunked up the women's toilet and it wouldn't flush. Water was all over the floor.
It amazing how many people forget their manners in public and do things they would never do at home. I know I have told young kids to go back and flush before I would enter after them. I tell them I don't want to look at their "deposits" either!

OMG...Hilda, you've read my mind!!! I don't understand this phenomenon at all, but I've tried explaining this very thing to my DH about public women's restrooms! Why, oh why must women leave their sanitary whatnots everywhere, and their wrappers? And then, dare I say, not flush??? And the running out of there without washing their hands??????? I don't get it either. I hardly ever want to use one of these restrooms, much less not scrub the daylights out of my hands afterwards!!!

I'm truly ashamed of our young women today. I've been in the public restrooms at the malls and it truly is disgusting. These same young women wouldn't be caught out without their hair and makeup just perfect, but the mess they leave behind is astonishing. I knew the superintendent of an apartment building and one time he told he that he's had to go into apartments for repairs and that some of the best-dressed, most perfect looking women that walked out in the morning had the most disgusting messes in their apartments.

Young women today seem to be absolute slobs. It's like they've caught up with men or something. I've helped deliver furniture to student dorms, and we were all apalled at the state of the rooms. You expect a certain level of "animal house" going on, but the women were way more offensive than the guys!!

At work we have the problem of Men always using the Women's bathroom. This really angers me.
Agreed on the Pet Peeve about women not wiping down the seat. It's especially gross if you forget to check and accidentaly sit down. In a nice restaurant I sometimes make the mistake of assuming the seat is fine to sit on. That is always when I sit on a wet seat!!! Yuk.
In my opinion there is no excuse to not wash ones hands afterwards. In North America we are very fortunate that soap isn't expensive so all rest stops/restaurants provide it. I spent some time in Africa. It was very rare to see soap in the bathroom. Often no toilet paper either. Supposedly, this was due to the cost and people would steal the paper and soap if they put it out. Cuba was the same way.
In one restaurant, the owner had stuck a strong magnet into the soap to keep it attached to the dish. I was very impressed. I found I used to rate restaurant experiences on whether they had soap in the loo! I got obsessed by it.
I always had to have toilet paper and Purel in my purse at all times.
After that, on my return home I really appreciated the bathrooms and soap that we often take for granted.

Good grief. You have to feel sorry for someone who is that desperate!

I usually always wash my hands after using the restroom. The only time I don't is if the sink looks so gross that I don't want to touch it. In that case I take some hand sanitizer from my purse and use that instead. But I don't think that it's just women that have become sloppy, it's also the men. My boufriend often complains how dirty the mens bathrooms are as well. I really don't think it's just the customers fault that the bathroom is so messy. Often times the buisness just doesn't clean often or well enough. There's really no excuse for that, and it says alot about how a company is run if you walk in and thier bathroom is a mess.

True. When I was in university and used to waitress, one of our jobs was to check the customers' bathrooms regularly to make sure there was no mess. There is no excuse for a restaurant not to do this.
