PSA: Bathroom Etiquette

Posted on 7:30 PM In:
I have to say, I don't know what it is about women that think it is perfectly acceptable to leave the bathroom looking disgusting. When speaking to gender stereotypes, women tend to be the cleaner, neater sex while men are thought to be messy pigs. Yes, I do realize this isn't necessarily true, but for the sake of this, we need to make it true.

1. If you "dribble" on the seat, wipe it off. Why does it seem to be so difficult for women to clean up after themselves in this regard. I mean, it isn't that hard to NOT dribble, but if you do, take a little tissue paper and a quick swipe takes care of it.

2. Flush well. I can't even count the number of times I have entered a stall to find that the toilet seat liner didn't flush completely, or there are remainders in the bowl. Seriously, ladies? It isn't that hard, flush multiple times if needed. I know, I personally, don't want to try and use a toilet that isn't done with the previous job.

3. A toilet stall is not a phone booth! Ladies, can we not take our phone conversations somewhere else. I mean, it's uncomfortable enough having YOU hear me pee, I don't want your husband/brother/sister/mom/dad/other friend of family member, hearing it as well. AND chances are, they don't want it to hear it! They don't want to hear flushing, farting, peeing. Bathroom noises are gross, no one wants to hear it. Along with that, don't talk to me while I'm in a stall, I'm POTTYING.

4. Stall choosing. If there are multiple stalls, don't pick the one right beside the ONLY occupied stall if there are other free stalls. (This is forgiven if the toilet is suffering from point one or two). But besides that, leave a stall buffer. It's awkward enough that we are all peeing in the same room with only thin walls separating us, let's leave as much room as possible.

5. Remember girls don't poop. So, if someone is in there for a while, just leave them be. They obviously want some private time and certainly don't peek under the stall and identify them by their shoes!

PSA: Don't be Those Parent's

Here is a quick How To on figuring out if you should take your under 10 year old child to a movie.

1. If the movie starts AFTER their typical bed time, don't bring them.
2. If the movie is rated PG-13 and they are half the size of a 13 year old, don't bring them.
3. If it is OPENING weekend of a Highly Anticipated Series Finale Movie, don't bring them.

Because if you do, I will do at least one if not all of the following.

1. Kick the back of their chair as hard as possible when they don't push the seat down and instead sit on the propped up edge, therefore blocking half the screen with their stupid head in STADIUM seating.
2. Sigh loudly as they constantly whine about being thirsty, hungry, bored, etc.
3. Ask very loudly, "Seriously" when your child starts stomping and running up and down the aisle during a pivotal moment of the movie.
4. Wonder aloud what kind of stupid people would bring a kid to a movie out past their bed time, loudly enough to make sure I'm heard.
5. Make sure all other patrons share my thoughts as many glares are sent your way.
6. Complain to the ushers and make sure you are removed so that I can enjoy the movie without brattiness.

Don't be those inconsiderate, stupid parents because I will call you on it.

(Oh, and for the record; this does not apply to kids movies, matinees, or very brief acting up.)

I'm almost sure I can make Going to the Movies Whenever I Please without inconveniencing other people, Reason #4 I'm not ready to have children.
