I wrote a similar post on my old blog, may she RIP.
Those of us with IBD have to frequent public bathrooms all the time. Many times we are in a hurry and don’t have time to deal with the public’s nonsense. I’m not trying to be a bitch, but what the hell is wrong with some of you?!
- Clean up after yourselves! We are in a hurry and cleaning up after you can lead to us not making it and crapping our pants. No joke.
- If you are using the handicap stall and you are aware of a line of people waiting, please use the sink that is located outside of the stall. You’re wasting precious time by washing your hands in privacy. This is such a pet peeve.
- I get weirded out when people are talking on their phone while going to the bathroom. There are noises, it’s weird. Can’t it wait?
- Girls are known for going to the bathrooms in packs. I don’t, I’m a lone wolf when it comes to the bathroom. Let me do my thing.
- Don’t walk in there and loudly declare that it stinks. It’s a bathroom and no one shits roses. Deal with it.
- Don’t hog the sink staring at yourself in the mirror. Please step aside when you see other people waiting to wash their hands.
- If you are in line for an available toilet and you see the person behind you visibly needs to go (doing the “I got to go dance”), let them go ahead of you. If I am not in an urgent situation and see someone behind me like that I like to let them go first.
- If you see that someone is in the stall, why are you knocking? Trust me, I don’t want to be here longer than I have to and I’m aware when people are waiting.
- If I didn’t mention it before, clean up after yourselves. Have some decency, don’t be a pig, this isn’t your house.
