Hose er down
Christy and I had an interesting conversation today. She related the story of how she had to use the ladies' room at Panera, but was hesitant to do so because there was a mess on the toilet seat.
I mentioned to her how I think restaurants and other public places would benefit from keeping a bottle of bathroom cleaner/disinfectant in the bathroom so you can clean the toilet seat before using it. Christy thinks this would be pointless, because nobody would want to clean the seat before using it. However, I believe it is a good option to have, especially when confronted with the double-edged sword of really needing to use the bathroom but said bathroom is dirty and icky. I don't know about you, but I am willing to clean a toilet seat if it means I can sit down on it without fear of contracting rabies.
Furthermore, the cleaner is a far better alternative than lining the seat with toilet paper, which I imagine is the favored method. Maybe I can keep a bottle in my car? Or would that to be too drastic a solution for a problem that admittedly does not come up very often for me?
What do you, dear reader, think about this? Should public places keep a bottle of cleaner in the bathroom if a customer wants to tidy up?

If their bathroom is that nasty, I'd rather shit in the sink as a message to the management that they need to do something about their bathroom.
Of course I'm sure that the message would be lost and all they would see is a vandalism, and probably close the bathroom altogether...
What about bathrooms that provide those seat-shaped covers for you to put down? Is that a problem for you?

Well yes, if the bathroom is way too nasty, you can bet I'm holding it in. But I think for a slightly dirty bathroom, a little cleaning would make me feel a lot better. As for those paper things you can put on the seat, they don't inspire a lot of confidence. I mean, it's not even thick paper. It's like tissue paper.

Oz... girls do the SQUAT move in public bathrooms. This adds to the toliet seat drippings, yet keeps my sweet ass from catching any nasty disease the slut before me may have left behind. Unless it's the bathroom in my house, I really think twice about sitting right on it... yes... even in your immaculate bathroom I often squat.
