Stinky people

alleepally

I do apologise in advance for anyone with a weak constitution..

Public toilets and the smell. WHy on earth can't shopping centres particularly install some kind of decent ventilation. I queued during the week to use a public toilet and a guy came out and I went into the cubicle and not only did he leave a stench of his most disgusting body odour but when I lifted the lid the guy hadn't even flushed and the smell that wafted upwards was enough to literally make me gag so I had to hold my nose. It just made me wonder

a) DO smelly people realise they are smelly
b) Does this smelliness render them incapable of flushing the loo

While I'm on this horrible subject, the issue of male v female toilets occurs. From speaking to the cleaners in one of the shopping centres, they all tell me that women are worse than men when it comes to making a mess in the loo. So much for the fairer sex but by the sound of things, women are just smellier and dirtier than men and yet conventional wisdom would tell us otherwise. Also, women show little or no respect for the cleaners and speak to them in a derogatory way. Cleaners in the mens toilets just don't experience anything like that of the cleaners in the womens.

So there you go. read it and weep girls. The truth is out there and in the toilets. Go figure...

The smell issue is a minor concern (everyones bodily functions leave a smell), not flushing is poor form but what really annoys me is people who don't wash their hands. You see people in public bathrooms, in restaurants, at work and pretty much anywhere you can think of leaving without even rinsing their hands. How many people did you shake hands with today?

Eh? Is there the one toilet for everyone in the shopping centre?

I can vouch for this. Having worked as a lifeguard in a public pool on the Northside of Dublin (Trinity, Donaghmede ), I can whole heartedly say that this is true.
The utter filth and used sanitary-towels/tampons that littered the place was unreal. Hair blocked EVERYTHING.
The very worst you'd expect from the men's changing rooms would be a filthy floor (combination of mud from the footballers who used the pitches outside and the showers inside) and the water on the floor. That's easily dealt with with a bucket of soapy water.
With the womens changing rooms every day is a new surprise. You can literally never know what to expect when you go in ... fairer sex? Pfffft

Did you know that if you stop washing totally, after some time you also automatically stop stinking !.

On the public toilets issue. In my home town the public toilets were demolished many years ago, apparently because the Local Authority could not recruit anyone to work as cleaners/caretakers in them!.

Now, I know why

The worst thing I've encountered is seeing a guy dry his hands without washing them. *Shudder*

Some studies show that u pick more bacteria and germs up on yur hands preparing dinner than u do if u go to the toilet and don't wash yur hands. SO don't be so quick to condemn ppl who don't wash their hands. If they have just come out of the toilet and u have just finished preparing dinner u may be "dirtier" than they are.

This thread kinda reminds me of the episode of the Des Bishop work experience where he was cleaning out the drainholes in the shower and found enough pubic hair to make a wig.
You're a sensitive man, aren't you alleepally :eek:

When I read the title of this thread, I thought it was going to be about BO. There I was, all set to have a rant about the stinky knackers that were in front of me in the queue today in Lidl. Absolutely putrid. One of those smells where you wish you could dynamite your nose off your face. Some people have no respect for themselves...

I've a cast iron stomach and don't get queasy ever but I swear to god the combination of the b.o. and the other was just unbelievable. Mind you, cleaning pubes out of a plug hole is possibly the worlds worst job!
