    Of interest is where she mentions forgetting to lift the toilet seat

    Men have larger bladders and . . . well. . . . just don't go to the toilet as much as women do, offten in swarms.
    Men also have longer urethras and have prostrates. Gives that little extra bit of protection.

    No, it's because women use toilets as salons. Men go into the toilet, leave their waste, wash their hands (most of the time) and leave. Women go in, check themselves in the mirror. Have a brief chat to the friends thay came in with. Do their business, wash their hands, reapply makeup, chat more to friends, check and double-check makeup, comment on how bad their outfit makes them look, attempt to fix said non-existent flaw in garment, continue chatting, then leave. They also leave behind much more waste in the form of cleansing wipes, powder puffs, tampons, empty makeup containers, etc.
    You forget utterly vast quantities of tissue paper.

    Yeah I've had to clean the ladies toilet years ago in some crap job I had... utterly disgusting, almost bad enough to turn you off women forever.
    The worst you'd find in the mens would be a wet floor from widdle splash-back, then mucky boots shatting it up, the occasional puddle of puke, or the odd spoon used by some junkie to cook-up the gear... or the rare but always hillarious and mysterious hole bored into the wooden wall dividing cubicles... now wheather they used this as a peeping hole, or they stuck thier winky through it I have no idea, but taking all this into account - the womens toilet was still worse.

    Not usualy, although I agree that it really does straighten the jet nicely.
    A must-have when you're wearing white trousers and can't afford even the slightest sprinkle or dribble.
    And God help you if they don't have hand driers in the toilets, towels and toilet paper are useless... or so I've heard :o

    I've seen some blokes do this.
    Altho not fixing their makeup but instead fixing their hair, reapplying hairgel or whatever.
    It's even more fun to mess up their hair as they leave the toilet.

    Yeah i have to agree with the x-cleaners.
    I worked in Intel on the top floor a few years ago..which was all the executives and their secretaries at the time. God knows what it is now they do so much building. Women were just less inclined to flush and do other gender-specific tasks in a hygenic way. Nuff said.

    Its funny but you get to know who's pregnant and stuff by their behaviour every day. If there was money in that i would have been rich!
    Guys were bad.....really bad too....but they copped onto something the women didn't.....that i saw everything people did....women never copped that in the time it took them to come out of the cubicle, apply make -up,fix hair and wash hands i would be cleaning the cubicle they were in. And would be aware of the state that person left it in.And that i would see them every day and remember them as "the attractive girl who can't wipe anything". Guys just stayed in the cubicle till you finished and then they left after you. Wierd sense to that actually. You could smell it, but not put a face to it.

    Hated that job needless to say....also how dumb are people to come into the jacks when there's a sign blocking the door and a male cleaner in a female toilets ?
    I though they were attracted to me...nope...just dumb.

    Women leave more floaters than men, there I said it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,006 ✭✭✭✭Flukey


    When I am finished having a pee I always wipe the top of the bowl to get rid of anything that might be there. Finding floaters or a dirty loo is not very nice, so I always try to leave it clean when I am finished. If I find one myself, I would also try to leave it clean, even if that means wiping something off the inside of the bowl. "Yeuch! I wouldn't touch that," I can hear a lot of people scream. Hold on though, the only thing I am touching is a piece of tissue, so what is the problem? You don't have to touch anything, in order to clean it. It is no big deal. I am not afraid of touching a bit of toilet paper so there is no big deal in cleaning something, whether it is my own doing or someone elses. You do a lot worse as you wipe your arse and even then you rarely touch anything. Of course you still wash your hands afterwards, as I do, so again there is no problem. So even if it isn't your own, clean it up when you are finished!

    Women are the worst! They always wet the toilet seat. Then the next time they use it they probably blame men for not lifting the seat.

    There's some scummy ****ers where I work though. There's some asshole who goes into the cubicles for a piss, then pisses all over the seat. At least lift it up ffs. Don't get me started on the guy who wipes his hands on the towel after a piss without washing his hands.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,006 ✭✭✭✭Flukey


    Well sometimes it is possible to have a pee without having to touch anything. So although you would always do so, there are occasions where it would not be necessary to wash your hands.

    My aunt has two little boys, and to help them aim right, she bought one of these little ball thingies that some woman in america made millions off. Basically its a ball, that floats in the toilet and the man peeing has to aim at it.

    Granted a cork from a wine bottle or something would do the same trick rather than buying it from some american person.

    But basically, turning peeing into a game, and giving them [blokes, and kids] something to concentrate on, the peeing on the seat stopoed. Even for the two kids dad!
    Yeah Sounds fun and all but did anyone think of the consequences ?lets say a kid hits the target and a wave of backlash comes back at him (its possible).Thats a safety hazard


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,006 ✭✭✭✭Flukey


    A mac and goggles should solve that! :)

    someone at work (about 25 in the building) often drops a load in the toilet and doesn't flush it and must throw the used toilet paper into another cubicle as there usually isn't any floating with his crap

    he usually leaves the seat down so when you lift it up you get a nasty shock - scumbag


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,007 ✭✭✭Moriarty


    You're presuming that they wipe at all..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,668 ✭✭✭nlgbbbblth


    worst I ever saw was in Kilburn in 1997

    Irish pub;
    trough urinal; one cubicle - which was blocked

    went in there late one evening to be confronted by a man in his 50s crapping in the trough urinal (pebble dash / rusty water) - and get this! - wiping it down with his hand so that it would fall to the bottom of the urinal and be washed away


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,006 ✭✭✭✭Flukey


    Is it just the loo? It may not be any one individual. Some toilets have a very poor flush and make it difficult to get rid of everything. It may be that. Maybe a slight adjustment to the ballcock could be made to let it fill a bit more. If you do find something in it, the thing to do is flush it yourself and throw a bit of loo paper over the offending item(s) before you do, to help it be dragged down. I never leave a loo with anything in it. Sometimes you just have to wait there and flush it again and maybe again after that too.

    That's pretty grim (to put it mildly). Where my mother works - a guy having a shower decided to have a dump at the same time and pushed (squeezed?) it down the plug hole (no pun intended) with this toe. This was seen by another male member of staff - and the guy just shugged and said - ah well sometimes you have to go. I believe this guy also has a tendency to scratch his posterior and then smell his finger - in public - in plain view. There have been complaints about this by members of the public - but this is the civil? service - so he still works there - sigh.

    But back on topic - I walked into the office of two female collegues a few years ago as one was moaning about her hubbies mates (over for the football + beer) managing to p1ss all over the downstairs loo's floor. Now because I was the only male in proximity I sort of got corned for those crimes. As I explained - you point it one way - it doesn't always go that way. Even if it does, sometimes it forks (its the first second - regardless of stops and restarts). One thing they just couldn't seem to get was that it doesn't always go the way you point it - they think it works like a garden hose.

    But sure even at home - if someone has a shower and the shower head is pointing a certain way - the water will splash under the curtain outside the tray onto the ground - and you might not even notice. The shower is beside the throne and my mother still thinks that its me pissing on the floor - although I've explained it 10 times, and am in the habit of cleaning up any forks :(

    Our toilet is separate from our bathroom which I think is the best way to have it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 78,926 ✭✭✭✭Victor


    .. And what girls don't notice, generally because they leave the seat down(!), is that they often spray the underside of the seat.
    Thats it. We have solved what men have wondered about for 200 years. Women want the seat down to hide their own mistakes!

    toilets are good ideas!
