The Bathroom - Top Secret Tuesday Week 3
It is the habit that I’m about to talk about that has my mom telling me that I’m like Howard Hughes (among several other, but today is just about the bathroom). I’m anal about restrooms and whether or not I’ll actually go to the restroom while in the restroom or depending on the restrooms reputation whether or not I’ll actually step foot into the restroom. *stop scratching your head* YES! Restrooms have reputations.
So, the deal with restrooms, they gotta be clean, my bathroom at home, if I know someone else has been in there before I go potty or if I’ve been gone for the day that toilet seat gets cleaned with comet cleaner before I go use the potty. I can’t stand sitting on a toilet that I know some other person has sat on previous to me if it hasn’t been cleaned.
This presents problems at work, and even though I clean the toilet before I go to the bathroom, I refuse to sit on the seat, God only knows what kind of diseases the miscreants I work with are carrying around on the behinds, I don’t need them. That and if I have to wipe their pubes off the toilet before I can pee, then they aren’t all that cleanly anyways.
The other thing about bathrooms is that pooping outside of the home bathroom is an unspeakable. It just doesn’t happen, I can’t do it. It’s just wrong. I can’t explain it. This causes problems when I’m traveling because it’s very difficult for me to poop outside of the comfort of my own home. Although sometimes, when I’m traveling I have no choice…during those times in which I’m traveling it’s ok, if I’m at my hotel room, because then it’s like my room. But the one place it never happens is at work, because I don’t want to do what I hate when most people do it. I don’t want to leave a stink (yes, my shit stinks from time to time). I just can’t handle that people will leave their stink behind, like hello, lysol, so I don’t want to ever be that person, so taking a dump at work is an unthinkable. That and I’ve not quite mastered the whole hover and poop thing yet, that technique has yet to become one with me, and I don’t sit on the work toilets so…*sigh*
Public restrooms scare me, I need like 5 ass gaskets to be put on the seat and then, I still won’t sit, I hover…It’s just that public restrooms, or any that aren’t my restroom actually are disgusting. If I have to use a relative’s or a friend’s bathroom, well, let’s just say it depends on the person on whether I’ll actually sit to pee or hover. Like I said, I’m anal about restrooms.
On a side note, I never put my bags on the ground, I always hang them. I never touch the door handle, I use the paper towel I dried my hands with…
Oh thank God I’m male.
Has anyone actually ever caught anything from a toilet seat?
Mr. Fab, that is far from the point, and yes, people catch stuff from toilet seats, like crabs…haven’t you watched that movie…”A Guy Thing“, he’s a prime example of catching stuff from toilets…
*sigh* toilets are dangerous
I totally understand what you are saying, but have you ever seen the reports that the TV stations have done about the cleanliness of public toilets. The water bottle you refill over and over and your telephone carry far more germs than the toilet seat. Then again, they are your germs and not some pube leaving low life.
Here’s another secret Dew, I don’t refill my water bottles, I grab a new bottle everytime I finish one…and actually, the telephones I use, they get wiped down with clorox wipes…nightly…
Holy moly - your immune system is going to be shot with no germs getting in!
I get teased all the time because I feel the exact same way about bathrooms! Oh my gosh. I know you’re going to hate it but I had to pass this around to a few folks in the office.
You are worse than ashley!
I’m cool with that…there’s people that are worse than me, LOL!
