Public restrooms: How clean??

Singapore may be famous for its cleaniness, and we do have really clean restrooms. But in bus terminals and public food centers, the restrooms will make you faint! :faint:

OMG here too.  Especially when you travel.  In gas stations they are the nastiest things ever.  Some resturants too.  If the place looks geto then most likely the bathroom is nasty, that is what i have learned.

Unless I absolutely cannot hold it any longer, I never use public restrooms. I always wait until I am home. Even if the restroom may appear clean, I know better.

I try to avoid public restrooms as well.  Some people are just gross.

We certainly don't like to use them, but when one is traveling there is no choice.  I 'try' not to touch anything with my bare hand, even if I use my shirt tail or carry a paper towel out the door with me.
 
OK, having said this, are these kinds of polls beneficial or necessary in "The Grapevine".
What will it change?

Where do you want to put this thread luci? I mean, it IS something to talk about, so why not talk about it?  Grin
 
The restrooms I go to lately are usually clean, but I still don't forget to use soap and water.

Clean public restrooms.....is that an oxymoron?    
 
Seriously, most public bathrooms could be better.   I had a real wake-up call when I stopped recently.  The women's was busy, and the guy cleaning the men's said, "I'll guard---you can use the men's room."   I should have said I'd wait.   It's very difficult to do what you have to do without taking a breath, but I tried really hard.  Yuck!

I also carry disinfecting wipes with me, just in case.
 
To answer Sheisbeck question, most women won't and don't sit down in public restrooms.  Thus the seat is wet and they could at least take time to wipe it off after using!
 
When we are in Branson and go to a show, I run out when they are advertising their souveniers before the halftime.  I always know those restrooms have been cleaned before showtime every day or night and after each show.
 
My reason for getting out fast before the halftime is to beat the
"blue hair brigade" to the restroom, before they all pee on the toliet seat and floor.
Now think about pulling down long pants on that floor Roll Eyes  Not me  
 
P.S. If they do not furnish seat covers, I have some I found in the travel section at a drugstore.
I don't remember where, also travel toliet tissue.

It's a sad day in the grapevine when people want to talk about toilets. Roll Eyes

I'll agree to that statement, thus my comment at the beginning, as to this type of poll being necessary Roll Eyes  
 
Naw, just wipe on the newspaper with the latest news of the trial Grin
 
The best thing about being gone for 10 days was 'No NEWS".
Now that we're home, we watch something else at newstime.
Aside from the weather reports, none of it will change our daily living and we both like life as stress-free as possible.  So NO NEWS for us on a regular basis.

And I thought restrooms in USA were rather acceptable. At least those in London and Paris were pretty OK.
