Flushing your toilet seat liner

This is something I don't understand. There seems to be a contingent of folks who instead of flushing their toilet seat liner, they wad it up and put it behind the seat or throw them on the ground. If they don't want to flush it, why cant they simply carry it out to the trashcan after they are done?

And then there are the ones that don't flush the toilet leaving there handy work for the world to see.

Work with me, I am trying to Upscale the discussion on DU.

Lots of thoughtless jerks in this country.


Same goes for people who throw their fast food garbage out the window.

spray all over the seat and don't bother to clean it up.

Gag.

I have never understood why public restrooms don't come equipped with sanitary wipes, yet they have them in grocery stores.

Be a sweetie, wipe the seatie."

I'm going to start a letter writing campaign to all the grocery stores I go to. It's a start.

with something that will kill anything it comes in contact with than mess with those damn seat covers. Far more effective too.

I seem to have this uncanny "talent" for finding the most disgusting bathroom stall. If there are 15 individual unoccupied stalls, I always accidentally choose the grossest one.

So I've seen (more than) my share of pee on the seats, shit on the floor and left in the toilet without being flushed, and TP strewn about everywhere. Even pee puddles in front of the bowl...in the ladies rooms.

Accidents happen, yeah...but goddamn it, clean up after yourself!!!


Worst of all, IMO, are the sanitary napkins left lying on the floor next to the toilet.

WTF?????

Are these young girls (13, etc) or grown women doing that?

If it's young girls, is there no older woman to teach them how to dispose of those things???

Yeah, sometimes there won't always be a special disposal can in the stall next to the toilet.

So what do you do? You fold the ends in toward the middle, then fold it again in the middle, and stick the two sides to each other, then wrap the resulting ball with some TP and that's it. In the trash with it.

Takes less than 30 seconds out of one's busy day.

Sometimes the ladies room is even more disgusting than the mens room is.
