Flush the damn toilet!
I’ve blogged before about how it pisses me off when people don’t flush the toilet (or wash hands, for that matter) at work, and about some ways that I deal with public restroom annoyances (the comments on that one were more interesting than the post itself!). But yesterday, at Chuck E Cheese’s, I encountered something that I’ve never seen in a public restroom before, and wish I never had.
I was really compelled to make this announcement over the PA system (but didn’t):
“Would the person who left the bloody stools in the men’s bathroom please flush the damn toilet!”
Seriously, that was disgusting. It’s not uncommon to find unflushed toilets in public restrooms, just as it’s not uncommon to find pee all over the seats, floors, etc. This is one reason why many people are too grossed out by public restrooms (another reason being the potential to pick up nasty diseases from toilets seats, and I’m sure there are lots more reasons). But jeez, if you’ve got gastrointestinal issues, such that you’re shitting blood, in a public toilet, especially at a fun-for-kids establishment, couldn’t you have the courtesy to flush the damn toilet?!?
Of course, I did not use that toilet. But I did flush it with my foot on my way out. Nasty!

You being sarcastic, or are you seriously grossed out by the bloody stools as well? Watch, my blog’s going to start getting found with search results for bloody stools now, like your drunk teens shitting. hahaha
