Red face Female members may relate to this

I just had this sent to me I hope it is alright to post

Subject: This is funny and how true it is

When you have to visit a public bathroom, you usually find a line of women, so you smile politely and take your place. Once it's your turn, you check for feet under the stall doors. Every stall is occupied.

Finally, a door opens and you dash in, nearly knocking down the woman leaving the stall.
You get in to find the door won't latch. It doesn't matter, the wait has been so long you are about to wet your pants! The dispenser for the modern "seat covers" (invented by someone's Mom, no doubt) is handy, but empty. You would hang your purse on the door hook, if there was one, but there isn't - so you carefully, but quickly drape it around your neck, (Mom would turn over in her grave if you put it on the FLOOR! ), yank down your pants, and assume " The Stance."

In this position your aging, toneless thigh muscles begin to shake. You'd love to sit down, but you certainly hadn't taken time to wipe the seat or lay toilet paper on it, so you hold "The Stance."

To take your mind off your trembling thighs, you reach for what you discover to be the empty toilet paper dispenser. In your mind, you can hear your mother's voice saying, "Honey, if you had tried to clean the seat, you would have KNOWN there was no toilet paper!" Your thighs shake more.

You remember the tiny tissue that you blew your nose on yesterday - the one that's still in your purse. (Oh yeah, the purse around your neck, that now, you have to hold up trying not to strangle yourself at the same time). That would have to do. You crumple it in the puffiest way possible. It's still smaller than your thumbnail

Someone pushes your door open because the latch doesn't work. The door hits your purse, which is hanging around your neck in front of your chest, and you and your purse topple backward against the tank of the toilet. "Occupied!" you scream, as you reach for the door, dropping your precious, tiny, crumpled tissue in a puddle on the floor, lose your footing altogether, and slide down directly onto the TOILET SEAT . It is wet of course. You bolt up, knowing all too well that it's too late. Your bare bottom has made contact with every imaginable germ and life form on the uncovered seat because YOU never laid down toilet paper - not that there was any, even if you had taken time to try. You know that your mother would be utterly appalled if she knew, because, you're certain her bare bottom never touched a public toilet seat because, frankly, dear, "You just don't KNOW what kind of diseases you could get."

By this time, the automatic sensor on the back of the toilet is so confused that it flushes, propelling a stream of water like a fire hose against the inside of the bowl that sprays a fine mist of water that covers your butt and runs down your legs and into your shoes. The flush somehow sucks everything down with such force that you grab onto the empty toilet paper dispenser for fear of being dragged in too.

At this point, you give up. You're soaked by the spewing water and the wet toilet seat. You're exhausted. You try to wipe with a gum wrapper you found in your pocket and then slink out inconspicuously to the sinks.

You can't figure out how to operate the faucets with the automatic sensors, so you wipe your hands with spit and a dry paper towel and walk past the line of women still waiting.

You are no longer able to smile politely to them. A kind soul at the very end of the line points out a piece of toilet paper trailing from your shoe. (Where was that when you NEEDED it??) You yank the paper from your shoe, plunk it in the woman's hand and tell her warmly, "Here, you just might need this."

As you exit, you spot your hubby, who has long since entered, used, and left the men's restroom. Annoyed, he asks, "What took you so long, and why is your purse hanging around your neck?"

This is dedicated to women everywhere who deal with a public restrooms (rest??? you've GOT to be kidding!!). It finally explains to the men what really does take us so long. It also answers their other commonly asked questions about why women go to the restroom in pairs. It's so the other gal can hold the door, hang onto your purse and hand you Kleenex under the door!

This HAD to be written by a woman! No one else could describe it so accurately!

I thank God every day that I am a Fella, I do feel for these poor women, we blokes certainly have the better end of the stick.

Very funny Ron, but I expect it is probably true.

Hey JJJ i absolutely agree, I was a cleaner of a large facility and the women even had a black board in there so they could write their dirty stories on it rather than the walls, and that is true.

And I have heard this same thing from every cleaner I know

Yep
I reckon they think that they clean them enough at home, so why clean up after yourself when you're out.
Lazy pigs.

Carron had exactly the same experience at a work function some years ago. Only she tried to light a ciggy at the same time. This being the '80s her hair was full of "product". It caught fie and she burst forth from the cubicle with her knickers round her ankles and collapsed into a sink trying to dowse it. All this in front of Sydney's great & good, including the PMs wife!
Somehow she soldiered on through the rest of the evening, deflecting unwanted questions with her patented "Death-Gaze 2000".

She tells this story all the time so I don't feel like I'm snitching.

Exactly!!! Not our fault at all, but a fault of the system ... and maybe our mothers, cos we cant put our bottom on the seat
You guys are soooooo lucky
On Astronomy viewing nights, if we are heading waaaay out of town, I try not to drink anything from about 4pm, so dont have to contemplate squatting with dodgy knees
Hmmm .... always thought mens loos are waaay dirtier than gals. Goin by what happens when the guys wee at work (we use same loos) ... it doesnt all get in the bowl

It's the truth Liz, ask any cleaner. I've only come across one mens loo that rivals "the worst toilet in Scotland"....(trainspotting's most classic scene that)

Sometimes what I find in the mens loos is that some men are too lazy to lift the seat ... and their aim is not always good (read - more on the seat than in the bowl). Yuk!
