Public Restrooms (Part Three....)

This will be the third instalment in a long series of what annoys me about public restrooms. This one is going to focus on the noises that no one enjoys to hear and on how hand washing is NOT just for the employees.

Hand washing (everyone's best friend....)
First annoyance with hand washing is the signs in the bathroom that just tell the employees to wash their hands, now I know that is VITAL to life, but the sign should also say something about everyone needing to wash their hands. I have noticed on several occasions in which people have left the restroom and not even so much as ran water over their hands. (at least doing that would subside some fear in my heart) It is one thing to walk into a restroom to check your makeup or fix your hair...but after exiting a stall ALWAYS wash your hands!!! I can't stress that enough! I am pretty sure that everyone's parents taught them how to , keep that lesson alive and well...wash your hands once, twice..maybe even three times to ensure your hands are clean before returning to contact with someone or something....not only at home, but at work, while out on a date, while out shopping. And I wont buy the excuse of "Oh, but soap drys out my hands" well my answer to that is BUY LOTION (stores all over the US carry lotion..many scents, price ranges, sizes and the bottles even in come fun shapes sometimes)

Noises (everyones least favorite friend)
One would assume that noises would be kept low, and consideration for others would be kept high, but in some cases well actually in most cases this simply is not true. Common respect and public decency doesn't end when you sit on the porcelain thrown. (or for men when you stand at one) A restroom is the perfect place to practice discretion, keeping bodily noises and grunting to a minimum....dare I say none at all (now that is a dream). It's really a respect factor with this one, as well as all "public restroom rules". A public restroom isn't exactly number one on my list of places that I want to be during the day (but when you are out and about it's bound to happen) so in keeping from talking to yourself or trying to "encourage" yourself will make everyone's time in the restroom a much more peaceful experience.

With these lessons well learned you will never be known as the smelly kid, the "ewww they don't wash their hands" kid, or "OMG they make calls while going to the bathroom" kid. And if for some sad reason you have been known by those names, or one that is similar to that...following these rules, and reading over this carefully will insure that you will be well liked and wont have any rude nicknames that will come back to haunt you.

Always show respect in public restrooms.
Always wash your hands (public restrooms and ones at home)
Never talk to your self (in public restrooms, and ones at home)
Never make phone calls while in ANY restroom!
