If she freaked out that badly I doubt getting close again would have been an option. The shit has eyes and was watching her, wouldn't you be afraid?

^ It was Mr. Hankey!

I just don't understand why people don't flush toilets in the first place? Plus, you should always have a pee before you leave the house, and drink minimally- if desperate, then find a cafe or restaurant, do your thing, and spend $2 on a cake or something.

yeah i heard that girls bathrooms are way grosser than guys bathrooms

I used to clean a restaurant when I was in college and I can tell you that on average the men's room is worse but women can be just as disgusting too!

The men's room also sees a lot more traffic. Men are rarely shy about bodily functions that a lot of women do their best to avoid in public places.

I wish. In my school a couple guys make it their mission to pee ANYWHERE other then the urinal/toilet. I'm talking the hallway and the floors of the bathroom. Immature

Wow! Guys can shit in bottles?!

OP had to pee...

Lol #13

#13- I once saw a ship in a bottle.

40 - I feel sorry for the guy who shat that out.

Yea well 40, I once saw a dolphin in the toilet...

I like the thread I started.

8D IT'S A POO GENIE!

^^ aaaaand killed it

Cracker Barrel has an exceptional bathroom.

You realize you just suggested multiple public restrooms, none of which will help. Is this just sarcasm that I'm not seeing?

BaconDave manages the KFC, but recommends the Cracker Barrel restrooms. Well, ok then.

33, when she mention public toilets, I automatically thought of those port-a-loo's (if that's the correct spelling). The restaurant is definitely cleaner that those.

I'm not afraid of public restrooms, but I'm absolutely terrified of Taco Bell's restrooms..

Yeah, and it takes less than 10 seconds.

Takes less than one second... The worst is when there's not even toilet paper to cover it up; why the **** would you drop that, not wipe, not flush, and presumably not wash your hands? Gross on so many levels.

My own sister often doesn't flush. This has been going on for over 10 years and she's an adult.

the worst bathrooms are the ones at summerfest here in milwaukee

If they were genuine floaters the person dropping them might have wiped and flushed. Sometimes these things return to the surface. I used to work in a cafe and obviously had to clean the bathroom as well. Those things can be persistent.

Once upon a time, we had someone who kept ******** in random places... Sinks, showers, in the corner... We just dubbed him the mad shitter, and never found out who it was...

Same here, when I was I. The Navy, every ship had 1 or 2 Mad Shitters. You would be amazed at the places these guys would find to leave a shit.....

Do men find it very amusing? ...to shit in random places, that is

I know I find it INCREDIBLY amusing. There's someone who does that at our school, and once someone went in to the bathroom, and there was one GLUED to the outside of a cubicle door, right at the top.

I don't understand how people get shit on the ******* toilet seat!! How the hell does that even happen?!?Some nasty individuals out there.

Used pads and tampons... In the TOILET? You don't throw those in there! They go in the trash... You're totally right, people can be disgusting sometimes

I remember not long ago, going into a toilet cubicle in school and finding blood on the wall. Some people have no sense of hygiene.

A lot of the blood splatter on walls isn't some freak spinning a used tampon around for artistic effect, it's usually mainline spray, from junkies taping a vein. I used to deliver to an AIDS clinic, and their bathroom walls were always covered in it.

Some chick graffitied her name on the toilet walls using her shit, literally shit.

And people say men are more gross than women...

I like your comment. I especially like that instead of putting OP down for their fear, you thought about what it's like to have it. Your advice is spot on. I'm ashamed to say that I have this fear as well, and it is incredibly limiting. So much so that I have left group events and gone home early because I had to use the restroom. There are therapists who specialize in this phobia, and it's very helpful.

My mental image told me it would have clogged and overflowed. Nevertheless I doubt the toilet seat & stall were clean either. I've got to assume the worst and sometimes toilet paper doesn't help.

For Op it is that hard since she has a fear of public restrooms.
