As inspired by @Adrian Ramsey 's recent post (back in the GentZ Lobby) about the disappointing "messages" we find in public restroom stalls, it reminded me of a similar topic that's been a pet-peeve of mine in general. Aside from graffiti, over the years I've noticed several "issues" in men's restrooms. Especially as someone who, from 15-25, held various jobs which required at least occasional tasks with cleaning them: - Peeing on the seat - Not putting the seat back down - Peeing on the floor - Leaving toilet paper everywhere - Not throwing "hygiene items" away (in the garbage) - Not washing hands - Not flushing - "Artistry" in several disgusting forms - Grunting and other noises - "Musicians" - Using your phone (calls, YouTube, music, etc. - as inspired by @Roger Rheault 's comment) I mean, are we men, or savages, here? It's been at least a few thousand years since we left cave and hut dwellings, and at least 100-200 years of access to plumbing in some form for both waste and washing. Why is it so hard for some men to clean up after themselves, have better aim, and refrain from "artistic expression" in any form? Sure, I know there are exceptions - some people are disabled, and young men/boys use the restroom... in which latter case, shouldn't we be teaching our children better habits? Just because it's someone's "job" to clean it, doesn't mean you have to make it harder or like some "superiority dominance" territory-marking perceived status statement. We're homosapiens, not canines. Also, the men who make noises, talk to themselves, or even sing in a public restroom... why? Just, why? I mean, I suppose I can understand when you need to let certain noises like sighs of relief out, but we don't need an opera to follow it. It's quite enough hearing the occasional "cookie dough squeezed out of the plastic package with air pockets" solo or quartet, let alone the occasional "battle-shits" when stuck between two stalls.
