public restroom non-clicky poll

Since y'all have been BOR:::yawn:::ING this week, here is a pointless poll......

  1. Do you poop in public restrooms?  If no, why?
  2. Do you full-on sit on the toilet, or do you hover?
  3. Do you prefer paper towels to dry your hands, or the dryer (assuming you wash your mits)?
  4. Do you always use the same stall?
  5. Do you giggle when you hear someone fart?

Re: public restroom non-clicky poll

  • I hate public restrooms. I typically avoid them at all costs. That said:

    1. Do you poop in public restrooms?  If no, why? Not unless its an emergency. I guess mainly b/c it's private to me and the public restrooms are public.
    2. Do you full-on sit on the toilet, or do you hover? Hover
    3. Do you prefer paper towels to dry your hands, or the dryer (assuming you wash your mits)? Paper towels. I HATE dryers regardless of the environmental benefits.
    4. Do you always use the same stall? Funny, but yes, if possible.
    5. Do you giggle when you hear someone fart? No, b/c I feel sorry for them because I know it's embarassing.

    1. Do you poop in public restrooms?  If no, why? Yes.  If I have to go, then I have to go.  If some one is in there, then I try to be really quiet and sometimes cough or something to mask the splash.
    2. Do you full-on sit on the toilet, or do you hover? If it looks clean, then I sit.  I don't have good balance and hovering could be a disaster.
    3. Do you prefer paper towels to dry your hands, or the dryer (assuming you wash your mits)? I like paper towels unless it is the new dryer that is like super sonic turbo speed.  Regular dryers just don't get my hands dry.
    4. Do you always use the same stall? Most of the time, unless it's dirty.
    5. Do you giggle when you hear someone fart? Sadly, I will have to admit that I giggle to myself when I hear farts.  Farts are on my list of things that are always funny.  Yes, it's embarrassing, but I'm sure I have farted at some point and provided a giggle to someone else.
  • 1. Not unless it's a TOTAL emergency.

    2. I put one of those hiney covers on, lol.

    3. I like the dryer or automatic paper towels.

    4. No

    5. No, but I probably make a face. 

  • Since y'all have been BOR:::yawn:::ING this week, here is a pointless poll......

    1. Do you poop in public restrooms?  If no, why? If it's absolutely necessary.
    2. Do you full-on sit on the toilet, or do you hover? Not usually.
    3. Do you prefer paper towels to dry your hands, or the dryer (assuming you wash your mits)? Paper so I can use it to also open the door.
    4. Do you always use the same stall? no I go for what looks the most clean
    5. Do you giggle when you hear someone fart? Not if it's dh, that sends me running for the hills usually. Stranger probably.
    1. Do you poop in public restrooms?  Only when I can't wait
      If no, why? Because the thought of sitting on the seat, even with the paper cover, skeeves me out.
    2. Do you full-on sit on the toilet, or do you hover? Hover
    3. Do you prefer paper towels to dry your hands, or the dryer (assuming you wash your mits)? Paper towels because they work faster
    4. Do you always use the same stall? If it's a bathroom I visit a lot, then I try too.
    5. Do you giggle when you hear someone fart? OMG yes.

  • This question makes me giggle, because my attitude has totally changed since I started my job.

    I work with small deaf children, and many of my coworkers also happen to be deaf as well.  The whole concept of bodily noises being embarrassing is foreign to many here.  It's not necessarily that they don't realize those things make sound--sometimes they do, sometimes they don't.  It's more like, "why the eff would you care if it makes a sound?"

    I no longer have real embarrassment about bathroom noises (at least at work), because a) chances are anyone else in the bathroom with me won't hear it anyway, and b) if they do hear it, they won't care.

     

    To answer the only question I feel strongly about:  I absolutely HATE hand dryers.  Please give me a paper towel.

    1. Do you poop in public restrooms?  If no, why? Does my work  bathroom count? Because I go every single day =p I had issues as a child so I try to avoid holding it any longer than necessary. If I am out in a restaurant or something, only if it is a total emergency. Even then I will try and find a Starbucks because they have individual bathrooms so more privacy =)

    2. Do you full-on sit on the toilet, or do you hover? If I'm just going for a quick pee then hover, but if I have to go #2 then I grab a seat cover if available AND build a nice little nest.

    3. Do you prefer paper towels to dry your hands, or the dryer (assuming you wash your mits)? I really could care less

    4. Do you always use the same stall? At work, usually, but there are only two stalls so not a big deal. Out in public, I try and find one with the smallest amount of hover pee as possible.

    5. Do you giggle when you hear someone fart? Kind of to myself. Farts are funny, shoot me.

      Oh and Amanda, that is hilarious about your school. I wish I could work there and not worry about the funny noises I make Wink

    Out in public, I try and find one with the smallest amount of hover pee as possible.

    See, this is my pet peeve with you hover people.......if everyone would just sit on the damn toilet, there wouldn't be hover pee and we could all have blissful bathroom experiences.

    If there is no pee on the seat when I go in, there is no pee on the seat when I leave.  I'm not about to clean up someone else's pee in a public bathroom.  Ick!

    Oh I totally agree! I hope you didn't think I meant that I wipe off the pee then sit down because the thought of that just made me throw up in my mouth!  If there is hover pee, I just move on to the next stall.

    1. Do you poop in public restrooms?  If no, why? No, unless it is a matter of life and death
    2. Do you full-on sit on the toilet, or do you hover? Always hover. Sometimes I won't even sit on the seat in hotels or in a friend's house lol.
    3. Do you prefer paper towels to dry your hands, or the dryer (assuming you wash your mits)? Paper towels so I can use them to open the door
    4. Do you always use the same stall? Usually the very first stall because it tends to get used the least
    5. Do you giggle when you hear someone fart? I do think it's funny but I'm also usually shocked that they would do it with someone else in the bathroom.

    No, I didn't think you cleaned the seat first.

    LOL!  Good!  :)

  • Do you poop in public restrooms? If no, why? At work yes, becasue they clean them at least twice daily. Other than that,  only if I really can't hold it.

    Do you full-on sit on the toilet, or do you hover? Depends on the bathroom, work and other nice clean bathrooms I'll sit.  If it looks even a little dirty, I'll hover. 

    Do you prefer paper towels to dry your hands, or the dryer (assuming you wash your mits)? Paper towels.  Then I also have something to use to open the door so I don't have to touch the yucky handle.

    Do you always use the same stall? at work yes, other places no.

    Do you giggle when you hear someone fart? Sometimes yes, ok fairly often I will giggle to myself or at least smile.  I am a 12yr old boy and still laugh at farts.

    1. Do you poop in public restrooms?  If no, why? No I do not, unless I HAVE too. Why... i dont even really like pooing at other people's houses.
    2. Do you full-on sit on the toilet, or do you hover? It depends on the place.
    3. Do you prefer paper towels to dry your hands, or the dryer (assuming you wash your mits)? I like those power dryers! haha the ones that blow your hands away!
    4. Do you always use the same stall? When I am at work (sears) I try too...
    5. Do you giggle when you hear someone fart? No I do not.

    What I hate is when you are in there with other people and they just walk out without washing their hands!! EEWWW

    1. Do you poop in public restrooms? If no, why? Only if it's a dire emergency.  In fact, I usually make Drew take me home if I have to poo while we're out.
    2. Do you full-on sit on the toilet, or do you hover? I sit, but I ALWAYS wipe the seat first.  This does two things.  Not only does it clean the seat, but it forces me to make sure that there's actually toilet paper in the holder so I don't get stuck in an awkward situation.
    3. Do you prefer paper towels to dry your hands, or the dryer (assuming you wash your mits)? Paper towels because those dryers take forrrrrever to dry my hands.
    4. Do you always use the same stall? I try not to use the restroom in the same spot for me to use the same stall.  When I worked at my job, the bathroom was a single bathroom, but it was right in the middle of the office.  Totally awkward if you had to poo!  And the other girls even cheered the first time I pooed there because they were regular pooers while at work and I told them that it would be a long, long time before I actually did that.  I'm so pathetic!
    5. Do you giggle when you hear someone fart? No

  • Do you poop in public restrooms? If no, why? I am probably in the minority here, but I prefer a public restroom.  Now, I do not prefer when someone else is in there.  At work, if I have to go and someone is in there I just wash my hands and go to another bathroom. This all stems from a time at a friend's apartment when I used to toilet without knowing it was broken.  So the poor girls had that mess in the toilet until the plumber could come.  At other people's houses I will hold it or leave to go.  At home I only use one of our three toilets because it is this super flush kind.  It's called a Toto Drake...check it out on You Tube, they shove tons of stuff down it.Do you full-on sit on the toilet, or do you hover? I sit, but check for pee first.  Sometimes I use the toilet seat covers or the special spray wash. Do you prefer paper towels to dry your hands, or the dryer (assuming you wash your mits)? Paper towels because the dryers just don't work.  I always wind up using my pants if there are just dryers,Do you always use the same stall? No.  Do you giggle when you hear someone fart? No.  I can talk about pooping all day, but I get all awkward about farting.

    1. Do you poop in public restrooms?  If no, why? Only if I feel like it can't wait. And then I will try to find a "family restroom" that's a single seater...lol
    2. Do you full-on sit on the toilet, or do you hover? I will be the first to admit that no, I don't hover. I will fall over and that would not be a pretty sight. I sit.
    3. Do you prefer paper towels to dry your hands, or the dryer (assuming you wash your mits)? Eh, I'm not picky. As long as my hands are dry. I WILL, however, use a paper towel to turn off the faucet and to open the door.
    4. Do you always use the same stall? Typically, yes, and it's usually the very first one only because I've been taught that 90% of people go to the second or last one so the first is generally cleaner. I check, though, so if it looks gross I will choose another one.
    5. Do you giggle when you hear someone fart? I don't giggle, but I find it kind of gross. I don't know why because it's normal and I'm sure the person couldn't help it but dang! If you feel it coming, flush the toilet or something to cover the sound hahaha

  • Do you full-on sit on the toilet, or do you hover? Sit unless it looks dirty Do you prefer paper towels to dry your hands, or the dryer (assuming you wash your mits)? I LOVE the awesome turbor dryers. I get ridiculously excited about them. Other than that, paper towel for me. Do you always use the same stall? At work, yes Do you giggle when you hear someone fart? Not at all. Helping patients get on the toilet or bedside commode to go to the bathroom or cleaning someone up after using an incontinence brief gets rid of all qualms about pooping and farting.

    1. Do you poop in public restrooms? I try not to If no, why? What if it stinks?
    2. Do you full-on sit on the toilet, or do you hover? I've tried hovering and ended up dribbling a bit on my pants. Gross. I always use toilet seat covers though.
    3. Do you prefer paper towels to dry your hands, or the dryer (assuming you wash your mits)? If the door has a handle, I need the paper towels to use when opening the door. If I can butt bump the door open, I'd prefer the dryer.
    4. Do you always use the same stall? No.
    5. Do you giggle when you hear someone fart? I giggle in the inside but I try not to embarrass the person. I've farted on the toilet before and I feel their pain. I refuse to flush while my arse is still on the toilet. All that poopy what spraying up on to my bum? No thank you.
