Most of the ladies rooms I've been to have been pretty nice, some nicer than others. Actually, most of the mens rooms I've been to (and yes, I've been to a few...) weren't too bad either.

I have the "males" bathroom and the "females" bathroom at home. Yep, at home. 'cause my mum and I refuse to use the "males" bathroom. the only times we go there is either a) to get toilet paper b) to put our dirty clothes in the laundry or c) the female bathroom is occupied or not working. Luckily it's home, but still, it isn't really nice smelling... :P while the females bathroom...well I cleaned it last time and it smelled nice <3

Girls' bathroom in our school... sometimes it's funny to see graffitti in the cubicle. Especially when someone REPLIES to it. Something like: so-and-so is such a ***** and another person going Yeaaa! I agree! *insert random comments here*. Trust me, sometimes you can't help but laugh at the conversations >.>

There's this shopping mall here in HK keeps bathroom quite clean. I can imagine the guys' one not being so dirty really. Very well equipped.

:P I see that all the time in our school's bathroom. Some girls actually argued about a boy through a stupid grafitti on a wall. "No he's mine, back off." "No, he totally likes me, you don't know the first thing about him." "Well, I'm hotter than you, and he likes my hair." "So what, we went bowling one time and he bought me a Diet Coke." "Well he bought me Dr. Pepper!" "He still likes me more."
Okay, okay, so it wasn't that bad, but you get my drift.

LOL! I suppose sometimes you just want to go, "dude take it outside! This is a bathroom, not a chatroom!"

We had a charity week 2 weeks ago and there was an advertisement stuck on the back of the door. So when I closed the door I was like, "whoa! What on earth is this?! Why is it here?" Really, you have to notice this A4 sheet of paper with text on it >.>

When I was younger (12-13), I would go into the boys' bathrooms to go see what they looked like. Once, on my way out, an adult walked in and said, "Heh, wrong room!" I didn't go into them for a long time after that. I did again a few times this year, just because some guy took something from me and I chased him into there.

From what I've seen though, there aren't many differences between women's and men's bathrooms; generally, the level of sanitation I've seen is about the same. One thing weird I once noticed was that there was a men's bathroom I entered with a mirror, but the women's one next to it didn't have one.

What's honestly the difference? The boy's washroom has a missing toilet seat cover while the girl's washroom has a stall door missing.

An eye for an eye.

Both stink.

I walked into a women's bathroom at a pizza place one time. It was like the bathrooms in heaven. There was a bench WITH CUSHIONS! Everything was spotless. There was a big mirror that was nicely lit. It even smelled like vanilla in there. Compare this to the men's room, which was dirty, cramped, dim, and very stinky.

Dude--we don't have entrances. anyone can just watch your feet from the cafe while you do your business. Honestly, our school is not one for the faint of bladder.

The best advice I ever recieved in Grade 9 was not about grades, or studying habits, nor any other of the copious vices High Schoolers can think of. It was simply: "Hold it in"

There were about four mens rooms, and every one of them was identical: theoretically sterile tile with green-black grout that used to be white, floor-length urinals (side note: every guy not two feet tall hates those things), one stall with no door, and a sink with no soap, no towels, and one working faucet. Invariably, it was the cold water, so when you rinse your hands off after doing whatever, you get a) diseased and b) the finger-shivers. Awful.

The ladies' rooms, on the other hand - wait, I'm sorry. Salons. They called them salons. Like it's a place where you go to have your nails and hair done at the same time as whatever else goes on in a bathroom. And of course it had its own foyer. Not an entry, not a rat-maze three-turn hallway so you can't see in or out, but a legitimate foyer. With carpet. And a leather sofa. And flowers. Freaking flowers in a john. That's like putting mice in a cat sanctuary. "Oh, they look so nice!" THEY'RE GOING TO DIE. THE ENVIRONMENT IS HOSTILE. And, of course, it's David in the lions' den; the flowers live and actually encourage the normally foul bathroom odors to change their ways, commit to God, and smell like a berry patch.


shapu, I hate to say it, but that is pretty much the case with most women's restrooms. Particularly, those in nice theatres and nice department stores. Couches, flowers, soap, the works. Some of them don't even have regular stalls. Instead, they have fully enclosed little rooms (floor to ceiling), each with its own toilet, sink, and mirror. Why do you think there is always a line for the women's restroom, and never a line for the men's? ;)

EDIT: However, when women's restrooms are bad, they are really bad. Like Fidds mentioned. Those include just about every school bathroom, and every restroom in low-class bars (gee, don't ask me how I know that one :roll: ). I've seen the pee on the seat thing, the diaper and used sanitary products in the toilet bowl (oh, quite pretty! --at least that is something men never have to look at in the guy's toilets), disgusting writing on the walls, and the smells--my goodness, the smells. Hard to pee and hold your nose at the same time. But, it is do-able.

I remember the toilets at IKEA. Those things were spotless... most of the time. I'll never forget when I was working behind the Info Desk and this woman came up and said "You should check the state of those toilets, they're disgusting!" so I pop in and the smell was revolting! I go the the end cubicle and the door was hanging off its hinges and there was poo all up the door. Seriously, how anyone could have shot the stuff that high was beyond me. Needless to say, I phoned the cleaner up straight away!

:o Really? Woah. I can't say I ever been to a really good sparkly public restroom. There have been some that are better than others, like some of the ones at Macy's and places like that. But I can honestly say I've never had any big cushions and vanilla scents.

....Well at my old school one particular ladies bathroom was that bad probably worse, the place was an actual message board and for a good month or so every major Violent Incident Relating TO Girls (VIRTOG) had it's origins in that bathroom.... the place was as disgusting as the Mens bathroom but legendary. As a guy, if your name was mentioned positively on it's walls you knew you had made it and could have any girl in the school.


Someone also mentioned guys urinal etiquette. I'm actually shocked at the level of etiquette I see at urinals nowadays, basic rules aren't adhered to such as:

1) If first at the urinal proceed to the corner closest to either a) the sink b) the door.

2) If on entering, someone already occupies above position, proceed to the end FURTHEST away.

3)If both positions are taken, take the position in the middle, furthest away from BOTH, while staying out of MSR (Maximum Splashage Range....not the game). If unable to do so LEAVE (do not under any cicumstances loiter and/or make small-talk)


If only more guys would practice them, it would make the whole painful experience that bit more bearable.

The bathrooms in my school are pretty clean. Or at least the female ones are. Never been to a boy's bathroom during secondary :P

In Primary, though, and mostly during P1, the girls would often dare each other to walk a certain number of paces into the boys bathroom. I did it a lot xD I didn't think they were much different from the girls', but then, we were five years old and the female toilets were also pretty putrid. I think some of us tended to miss the seat a lot. Or maybe tried to pee like a boy or something.

Anyway, I'd completely forgotten about what the P1 toilets were like when I was in P6, until once, when I was desperate and didn't have time to rush up the stairs, I went into the first floor bathrooms. Ew. First I was thinking, "What the heck?" until I remembered that the first year's bathrooms were always like that. Heh.

Lots of the fancy restaurants are like that, some of the bigger churches too. They're really nice. Once at a church for a book sale, i went in there and sat on the couch and read for an hour while I waited for my mom to finish shopping. It was comfy :)

The bathrooms at my school are usually ok, nothing fancy, but usually clean. It's the movie theatres that tend to be messy... If you want nasty messages, go into the practice rooms. The walls, doors and pianos are all defaced! The poor grand pianos :(

I think the only time I've really been in a boys bathroom I was in 2nd grade, and I wanted to see what it was like. I ran in for like 5 seconds and ran back out. All I remember is that it was dark and there was a long row of urinals. o_O

You guys have some funny stories. I was laughing so hard while reading through this thread. It was hilarious! :roflol: Especially coming2atvnearu's rant on the first page.

I've never been in a men's restroom as far as I can remember, never seen one either other than 'ooh, the doors open -peek- What does it look like in there?'

But anyway. While some bathrooms are nice (typically the ones that have attendants in them to hand you paper towels), some are completely nasty. The ones at our school usually have urine on the floor with rolls of paper towels/toliet seat covers there are well.

And today we found a bra on the floor. We established that this was probably someone changing their costume for the dance performance, though, and didn't want to claim it/didn't know it was there.
