Posted: 7/21/2010 11:17:11 AM I'm just gonna cut to the chase here...I went into a stall immediately after another female employee. Don't know who she is...but when I went in, there it was...in all it's glory...pee...EVERYWHERE!
So, I lost it. I can't tell you how many times I clean up after people (w/wads of lining) then having to reline everything again for msyelf...just gross!!
So flung the door open (don't know what got into me) and yelled after her, "Excuse me? You need to come back and clean this up." She froze in her steps. Didn't turn. Just froze. And of course, i thought, guilty.
She turns around slowly. starts making her way towards me and I say, "you know? this isn't right. I get not wanting to sit...but this is just NASTY and gross. I shouldn't have to clean up after you."
And she starts to say, "Well, I don't see why I-----" and I interrupt saying, "aaaahhh puh- puh-puh-puh, doesn't matter to me." I start walking away, doing jazz hands in the air like a maniac and continue to say, "I don't care...just clean it up or go pee outside next time." and I left.
She went into the stall and I returned to my office.
I don't know what got into me...the girl coulda' socked me...I don't care. I'm tired of seeing pee on the seat. The end.

Posted: 7/21/2010 11:20:13 AM I think it's rather funny that the women who hover because the seat is nasty are usually the ones spraying pee everywhere making it nasty in the first place. If they sat like normal people, it wouldn't be an issue and the pee would go in to the toilet where it belongs. And don't even get me started on the foot flushers. Unless the flushing mechanism is on the floor, you're supposed to use your hand. How hard is it to use a bit of tp to cover your fingers while you flush with the HANDle? I mean really now.

There has been an influx of people moved onto this floor in my office and there's somebody making a huge mess of the ladies room every single day! I just haven't caught the culprit yet.
But, boy when I do! It's not just on the seat, but often on the floor as well. YUCKY! Most of us that have been here a while are fed up and we're not cleaning up for them anymore! Sometimes by noon we have to call housekeeping though b/c the offender won't use the same stall she's already dirtied up again.

I understand your point but don't agree here. I you are going to pee from above, have the consideration to check and wipe it up after you finish and before you flush with your foot and then leave without washing your hands.

I will say, in their defense, there are some toilets that flush so hard, they spray water on top of the seat. Affectionately known as the ROCKET FLUSH like they have in mall bathrooms - lmao. Are you sure it's not that? Or is she definitely hovering?
Either way, ewwwww.

You're right. It WAS very unprofessional of me. This isn't like me at all. But I also think of our other employees who's JOB is to clean up after her. Not cool IMO. She knows what she did. Take responsibility for it and clean up after yourself. She CERTAINLY doesn't pee this way at home...why at work?

In the case in my office the water from the toilet is CLEAR and the sprinkles on the seat are YELLOW. It's urine.
And on days when it even hits the floor, you can usually smell it too.

I have one of those super rocket toilets at home. Guess what it shoots UP when you're flushing it? Yes! The contents of the toilet. And it happens instantly enough for me to be able to wipe it up.

Sorry, but when you use the same set of bathroom stalls on a daily basis, you KNOW which toilets are the super flushers and which ones need an extra push of the handle to get the ball rollin'.
You know which stalls have wider cracks on the doors, you know which locks don't work. Yup, you get to know the loo THAT well.
And all I'm saying is. Use common decency. Have manners and clean up after yourself.

That right there makes it sound that she knew what she did and was excpeting housekeeping to clean it up. Ummm..news flash housekeeping does not come in after each person to clean up.
I guess I'm not a gracefull person because I've never been very good at the squat and pee thing. I use the toilet seat covers and also make sure there is nothing left behind in the toilet for the next person to discover. I used to be in another building and I hated having to go in there towards the end of the day, it was always nasty. I made sure to do my business in the morning and hold it as my time to leave for the day got closer.
Posted: 7/21/2010 11:50:17 AM Sorry, if they provide liners and you are still too good to sit on the seat and then leave a big mess, you deserve to be called out. It's disgusting. And if it was a "super flusher" toilet then everyone would know it does that.

Because one figures, that whatever germs were on the bottom of your feet, from walking ON the bathroom floor, are now on the handle because you used ur foot.
What I don't understand, is if they splash all over the seat (and floor sometimes?!) when they pee, how does it not get all over their clothing too? EWW!!

I do ok with confrontation, not that I look for it. Not ever! But I don't think it would have occurred to me to say something to her! And like Peabay keeping it to herself, I probably would have done a passive aggressive grunt and eyeroll instead of calling her out.

Innocent, non-snark answer: Whatever is on the floor winds up on the bottom of your shoe, which winds up on the handle if you flush with your foot...and we all know what is on the floor in a public restroom. Not to mention pressing too hard with your foot and breaking the handle. Some women are unaware of their own strength ... and weight.
Ok, but I will still foot flush because I am going to continue to believe that everyone washes their hands after using the potty, right????
Then no germs... If you're going to wash your hands anyway, then why not just use the handle in the way it was intended? Aside from that, are you really avoiding those pesky germs? No. You flush with your foot and then touch the handle to open the door. I touch the handle to flush and then touch the handle to open the door thus transferring germs to it that YOU put on the handle by flushing with your foot. If we're both washing our hands afterwards anyway, why risk damaging the bathroom by using the handle inappropriately? And if all else fails and you can't possibly bear to let your skin touch such a filthy thing, put a barrier of toilet paper between your hand and the handle and then toss it in to the flushing toilet. Really people, it's not that hard. Gah.
I loathe using a bathroom where one too many women have flushed with their foot and now the handle is broken or leaking water or sprays when you flush. It's disgusting and so preventable!

Posted: 7/21/2010 12:16:37 PM Only on 2peas do you have someone accused of something and then every possibility under the sun comes out to absolve the person of the act.
Relax. Only one possibility was mentioned...the super strong flush toliet.
I'm not trying to absolve the "guilty" party - just offer a very valid reason for the wet seat (the flush-back). OP followed up with additional deatils in a subsequent post.
While I couldn't have confronted someone about this, I cheer her for doing it! It is nasty.

Posted: 7/21/2010 12:17:40 PM I don't want to hijack this thread too much b/c I am so enjoying the jazz hands and the pee-er protest and the turbo rocket super flushers. But I have to say that I never heard of foot flushing before I came here. So I flush with my hand, then open the door, then wash. And then and only then do I push the door open with my butt or I take a paper towel to turn the handle. B/c I like my germaphobia to be rational and well- controlled.
Peabay Happy now?

The foot flushing doesn't bother me. I don't care what germs I end up washing off. I will admit, after reading the thread here about it awhile back, I tried it once. It wasn't me. I felt like a phony-foot-flushing-pea-wannabe.

Posted: 7/21/2010 12:21:18 PM OP - Did she wash her hands?!?!?!
That is my pet peeve - the non handwashers.
And as germaphobic as I am, I don't worry about the foot flushers, I flush with my hand, wash the hell out of my hands and then use a paper towel to open the bathroom door (and every door on the way back to my office).
Yes, that's right, I flush with my hands but I don't touch door handles.

Free~Bird 'Cause I'm as free as a bird now Posted: 7/21/2010 12:28:31 PM Would you PLEASE come to my office? We have one who does that ALL THE TIME! I know who it is but have not had the brass ones to approach her about it. It is just disgusting. If she can't wipe up her own mess why does she think anyone else wants to do it? It makes me absolutely NUTS every time I see it. Whenever I see her go into the restroom or just come out, I avoid going in for as long as I can because I know she has left behind a disgusting seat.
I would write her a note (if you're not the only other female there).

"Dear sprayer, I want to bring to your attention the condition of the bathroom. I understand that you might possibly be a germaphobe and think you need to "squat" over the toilet to avoid getting germs on your rear. However, in that process do you not notice that you're spraying *urine* for other people to have to deal with later - including YOURSELF. Have some common courtesy and clean up after yourself, or better yet, stop fooling yourself and sit on the toilet. Love always, another germaphbe"
I would try avoid using terms like "filty pig" but that would be difficult for me.

As for the super rocket flush, this is at the OP's place of employment. I suspect she uses these toilets on a regular basis and knows if they have the rocket flush.

Posted: 7/21/2010 12:35:59 PM 2boyusandwill, I see you are in Northern California. I would like to formally invite you to Southern California. I'm sure we could gather enough from the women in this office to have you fly down and be the peepee police in our office. We have tried notes, confrontation, and it still continues.
Our bathroom is out in the hallway and must be shared with the dental office and a child's music school. I have never seen such PIGS as these dental office women. The dental office is their headquarter office, not an individual set of dentists, and they have ongoing training sessions for their people. We've seen the signs up and the women range from staff workers, hygenists, to dentists. Even on the dentist days, the bathroom is a disaster.
We did get the building to have the maintenance man clean during the day after lunch. That helps a lot, but God forbid if you need to pee at 11:30 before he gets in there!
Bravo to you! I've said small things to people, but never an out and out confrontation like that. Good for you!

Posted: 7/21/2010 12:41:51 PM I think it's rather funny that the women who hover because the seat is nasty are usually the ones spraying pee everywhere making it nasty in the first place. If they sat like normal people, it wouldn't be an issue and the pee would go in to the toilet where it belongs.

Posted: 7/21/2010 12:46:59 PM OMG! Something similar happened to me today as well!
So, there I am in the bathroom doing my business and a co-worker went POSTAL, accusing me of urinating on the seat. I tried to explain to her that it wasn't my job to clean up after others (it was there when I went in), but she cut me off and wouldn't listen! In fact, she was so angry she was stuttering and then walked away mid sentence flapping and waving her arms like a lunatic. This woman seriously needs some meds or a very long vacation.
Just Kidding! Just wanted to see what a post would have looked like from the other woman's point of view.

Posted: 7/21/2010 1:29:33 PM Thank you for saying something. It is hard for me to understand how a person can turn around, look for the handle, flush it with their foot and not notice the mess they have left. I wish there was one stall allotted to the hoovering, foot flushing crowd. They could live amoungst their own, with their own mess this way.

Posted: 7/21/2010 1:32:44 PM I totally agree. I can understand that some women don't want to sit on a public toliet seat (at work), but neither do I want to sit on your pee. If you pee standing up or squatting above the seat--have the decency to clean it up--it is your pee!!

Posted: 7/21/2010 1:36:48 PM I just wanted to chime in as another foot flusher:
IF the handle on the toilet is like the one on the tank I have at home, like the one that most people have in their home, I usually don't think twice and flush normally (with my hand).
When the handle is on an industrial/commercial (and public/heavily used) toilet, I use my foot. The ones with the straight peg handles. It lacks that same tactile appeal as the handles that are built with hands in mind.
Not to mention, I work with the same women who pee on seats and floors and leave other unmentionable fluids on the seats and floors, and I am pretty sure they are all foot flushers. Hell, some of them don't flush at all. Saving water??

Posted: 7/21/2010 1:37:06 PM Somtimes people need a can of whoop A opened on them to get the point.
I had to have a little discussion with a coworker who would leave poop and other waste in the toilet. Our stupid toilet is a low flow and you have to flush at least 3 times just for pee; for poop you might as well start paying rent because you're in there so long flushing.
This is NO secret -- if you're too blind to notice it on your own, it is a topic of conversation at almost every staff meeting as we try to force the building manager to get a new toilet.
This one coworker was too good to flush repeatedly. We asked her nicely and she basically gave us the middle finger. So one day in front of everyone including her male boss, I said, "Hey, Sue. Would you care to go back in there and flush your poop or would you prefer I deliver it to you on a silver platter?"
She never had a problem flushing after that.

Posted: 7/21/2010 1:42:15 PM She CERTAINLY doesn't pee this way at home...why at work?
I've always wondered that. I work in a law firm for goodness sake. A new law firm came onto the floor our office is on. And a few days later, the cleaning crew asked me what was going on because of the condition of the restrooms. (I work late, so they've known me for years).
My male boss was the only male on the floor prior to that and I won't even go into what the new attorney does in the mens' room. (I've heard it from the cleaning crew and my boss). And the thing is he's one of those arrogant dandy dressing attorneys. Why is he wiping boogers on the wall. Oops I did say I wouldn't go there, didn't I? Well, that's the least of what he does.
Then the new ladies on the floor - they are gross. No pee on the seat to date, but you have to wade through their dingleberries (are they still dingleberries if they aren't bodily attached?) in and out of the restroom and they track toilet paper out into the common hallway. One of the ladies, dries her hands on the paper towels, walks out of the bathroom with it, and drops it on the floor outside of the bathroom!!! WTH! We all have clients and such that use the hallway besides ourselves, what is she thinking?
Posted: 7/21/2010 1:44:02 PM Hoverers drive me bananas. Sit ON the seat!! Feel the pieces of the seat that come into contact with your skin. NO Girlie Bits are sitting ON the actual seat!! Just. Sit. DOWN!
Ugh! And she starts to say, "Well, I don't see why I-----" and I interrupt saying, "aaaahhh puh- puh-puh-puh, doesn't matter to me." I start walking away, doing jazz hands in the air like a maniac and continue to say, "I don't care...just clean it up or go pee outside next time."
Best. Part. Ever!

Oh, this is the perfect scenario for the maniacal jazz hands! So glad you got to use them!
Good for you for saying something!! We were at a water park last week, and because it was a million degrees out and we were slugging back the water all day, I had many occassions to visit the restrooms with my sister, niece and my dd's. Good God, there was a lot of seat spraying!
I gagged inwardly while wiping the seats so my little niece could sit down, and tried to trick my brain into thinking that it was just water dripping off of someone's hair. I mean, it *was* a waterpark, so it's possible, right? But, really, I suspect there were just a lot of hoverers, and I wiped up more stranger pee that day than I care to remember.

*ugh* it's so gross! I *always* look after I flush to make sure there's no pee - some of our toilets have the mega flush that spit water everywhere and I even wipe that up if it was from me flushing because I don't want to be walking out of the stall and have someone go in right behind me and think *I* peed on the toilet seat!

We have one toilet in our office, and it's used by us and patients. It also happens to be right by my desk, so I know more about people's toileting habits than I'd ever really like, including which ones wash their hands and which ones don't. I'm amazed at how many people don't wash, especially since they HAVE to know I can hear the faucet running or not?

No kidding! At least "pretend" to wash by flipping on the sink water. I'm amazed in public bathrooms where people will come out of a stall and walk past a bunch of people and not wash. You HAVE to know people are grossed out!

Posted: 7/21/2010 2:47:23 PM Because one figures, that whatever germs were on the bottom of your feet, from walking ON the bathroom floor, are now on the handle because you used ur foot.
Alright , I'm a foot flusher - I admit it, always have been. Aren't you going to wash your hands anyway? I seriously doubt that the germs on my shoe are any worse that the germs on the handle or the germs on door or the soap dispenser. There are germs everywhere in a public bathroom. The only reason there is nasty stuff on the floor is from the squaters! Just sit down and deal people.

Very few clients came to the offices so when the pee appeared I knew it wouldn't stop without action. And what is worse than pee on the seat? Pea and blood!! I thought I would die!! The next trip to the john I carefully typed out a note and scotch taped it to the mirror. The mess stopped. I swear some of those people must use an outhouse at home.
I've sat in enough pee so that now I wipe down the seat before I sit and again after. I hate to use that much TP, but I hate stranger pee on my ass.

You honestly cannot work a handle with your hand? And I guess it matters to YOU whether you touch germs from the floor or not, or you wouldn't be using your foot. By your line of reasoning, there's no reason to use your foot if you're just going to be washing your hands anyway.
I hate foot flushers AND sprinklers. Use a piece of TP to flush with, it's not hard. Use TP to line the seat and sit on it like it was designed for.

I agree with you, and not just because of that Mythbusters episode but because I've *felt* the spray from a violent flushing toilet and I never want my face to be anywhere near that
I remember when they installed the auto-flush toilets at work [one Tuesday night without any warning] and every one of them is a violent flush. You have to move away from the toilet quite quickly while attempting to pull up your pants else face the wrath of the water spray...

Exactly, it's not the germs on the handle that are the issue. I don't use my foot on a regular handle toilet just the super power toilet handle levers.

Posted: 7/21/2010 4:42:51 PM I know foot flushers are a hated breed around here, but I am a foot flusher, and I can't ever imagine flushing with my hand again. I'm going to tell a gross story that explains why.
Many years ago, I flushed with my hand. The thought never occurred to me to do anything different. Then one day, I was at the mall with my kids, took my son who was 3 and being potty trained at the time into a stall. He did his thing, pulled up his pants, and flushed. He loved flushing, LOL, and would do it at home even when the toilet didn't need to be flushed. I used to think he wanted to go in the public restrooms just because he got such a kick out of those powerful flushes.
Anyway, we left the stall, I was holding his hand, we got to the sink to wash up, and I noticed that we both had blood on our hands.
OMG...I nearly threw up in the sink. I hadn't noticed anything on the handle before he touched it.
I have never flushed with my hand again. My kids don't either.
I'd rather have someone's bodily fluids on the bottom of my shoe than on my hands. Blech. I take off my shoes when I come in the house anyway. Honestly, I avoid public bathrooms at all costs. There are truly a lot of disgusting people out there. I also won't forget the time I was in the mall bathroom and someone left a used sanitary pad ON TOP of the trashcan that was practically overflowing onto the floor. Not wrapped in toilet paper, not even folded up. Just laying there in all it's glory.
Like I said, there are gross gross gross people out there.

Posted: 7/21/2010 4:47:33 PM Ok, (gulping nervously as she asks) what is wrong with foot flushing??? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Because one figures, that whatever germs were on the bottom of your feet, from walking ON the bathroom floor, are now on the handle because you used ur foot. Well I hate to tell you, but with the toilet handle where it is, it's still going to be highly contaminated from the flying particles of what was in the toilet. So even if foot flushing disappeared, the toilet handle is still quite gross and you'd need toilet paper anyway.
With that said, we have liners on the toilets at work and I LOVE that. But I will foot flush in a public toilet because I'm not a big fan of putting my face over a toilet bowl and flushing. Sorry.

That's why I take my shoes off in my home and request that others do so, too. That's a whole other thread, though.
Seriously, the germs that are on the handle are also on the floor, so even for non-foot flushers, you are tracking them everywhere, too. It's really too gross to think about it, and I agree that I don't want to be leaning over the toilet to flush with my hand for it to spray in my face.

My thinking is that the next person to enter might be a naive little girl who doesn't realize she's about to sit in pee, or it might be someone who is handicapped or otherwise can't do housekeeping before peeing.

I was ashamed for her, but didn't have the nerve to say anything. I don't know what I expected a hoverer to look like, but it wasn't her.

HOWEVER - I personally have found a toilet seat left wet with yellow liquid, and because I really, really, really, really had to go, I hovered and left the previous pee-ers pee there.
If someone came in behind me, they may have thought I was the pee culprit.
I refuse to sit in someone else's pee, and since cleaning it up with a piece of TP doesn't cut it for me, I leave it there. Ain't never found a public bathroom supplied with enough disinfectent for me to wipe up someone else's pee

Posted: 7/21/2010 8:25:20 PM I am feeling really stupid here tonight, for two reasons.
1. I never heard of foot flushing until recently on here. I would never have thought of it, and will still use my hands and wash them.
2. Clearly, in 45 years of peeing, I was never taught how to flush properly, because I do not bend over and put my face in the bowl to flush with my hands. A few different people mentioned that they flush with their foot because they don't want to put their face near the stuff that flies up. Whether I would use my foot or my hand, my face stays at the same level, which is nowhere near the bowl. (and yes, for the record, I did just go in my powder room and try it both ways, just to try to figure this out). Sorry, I'm not really trying to be obnoxious, but I need this clarified.

another stall. I used to worry about embarrassing someone for peeing on the seat but then I decided if they weren't embarrassed about doing it and then not cleaning up after themselves, they're probably not embarrassed by much of anything.
It burns me up to see someone dressed to the nines come out of their pee covered seat stall, go to the mirror and repair their makeup and brush their hair, and then walk out without washing their hands.

(and yes, for the record, I did just go in my powder room and try it both ways, just to try to figure this out). Sorry, I'm not really trying to be obnoxious, but I need this clarified.
When you are in a public bathroom stall that barely has enough room to turn around in, your face comes much closer to the toilet bowl when you have to reach down for some of the very low handles. The first one that comes to mind [because it's one of the few places I frequent public toilets] is at the movie theaters. I swear I can sit on the toilet and have both my shoulders touching the side walls I do not understand why those stupid stalls have to be so tiny.

Don't get me started on the foot flushing.
For god's sake people. Lay a couple pieces of toilet paper on the seat and use a piece to flush with. It's not that difficult.
Agree with you 100%. Especially the first part.

Posted: 7/21/2010 8:48:30 PM What it boils down to for me, is if your hooha is touching the actual toilet seat you are doing something wrong
Maybe that's how the pee got on the seat in the first place. Maybe we need to feel sorry for the seat pee-ers because no one ever taught them how to pee on a public toilet seat correctly. How sad.

Posted: 7/21/2010 9:12:08 PM Now that we are potty training, we use a lot of public toilets. I'm constantly amazed at the mess women leave behind. Pee everywhere, garbabge, giant wads of toilet paper. How hard is it to go to the bathroom neatly? I just don't get it.
My most perplexing time was the time I accidentally walked in on a woman in a stall. She was squatting on the seat and peeing. As in feet on seat, squatting above.
This suddenly explained why I would always see footprints on toilet seats. Moreso when I lived in Taiwan, and things would get horribly confused with squat toilets. I just never put two and two together until then. Others are clearly aware of this conundrum:
This is worse than foot flushing, right?

Disgusting. Happens almost every day. Disgusting.
See, and I have never been close enough to an ass-gasket user to ask them exactly what they do with it when they are done with their biz. I always assumed they were flushable.

As long as there is no pee on the seat, who the heck cares how someone flushes? Only someone with a Howie Mandel level of OCD would bother analyzing the pros and cons of how someone else flushes the flippin' toilet.
(And of course, they would take their shoes off when they got home to prevent tracking pee around their pristine domicile as well. )
Don't you just hate playing Toilet Russian Roulette in public restrooms?
You pick the first door and there's pee on the seat. So, you move to door #2 but the toilet is not flushed, stall door #3 won't lock and door #4's toilet is close to overflowing.
Finally, behind door #5 the toilet looks OK.... You sit down, do your business and then, WTF?? No toilet paper! grrrr!!

squatter AND a foot flusher. I'm thinking actually that it must be a southern thing?? That's how my momma taught me or else. Anyway, I am very paranoid, however, and always take at least a half roll of wadded up TP to clean the seat lest I be accused of making a mess. And I do the same when I enter one with a mess on it already, altough I hold my breath as I do it.
My main question, however, that I didn't see answered in the four pages was this: Have any of you foot flushers ever lost a shoe in the toilet when flushing? Everytime I wear a loose pair of shoes or flipflops (not tied on sneakers), I squish my toes to make sure my shoe doesn't go flying in the toilet. I'm waiting to die the day that happens to me. I guess that'll show me what not to do again!!

Let's analyze this for a second. If you (general you) went into a stall, saw pee on the seat,
but instead of cleaning it up, you LEAVE IT. You hover, finish up, and then exit.
My first two thoughts- one, wouldn't you be scared of losing your balance and flopping down on the p*ssy seat? And two, would you want to get blamed for leaving the mess? Would someone who does the hovering technique (b/c of being a germophobe) really do that over a p*ssy seat in the first place??

Posted: 7/22/2010 8:40:46 AM OP, i you too.
i went in to our 2 stall bathroom last week, and 1 stall was busy, and the other had some #2 in it. way down, like the last little bit hadn't flushed. nice, but whatever, i'll flush it for you, i have to go. so i flushed it, and it turns out that it is clogged big time, and water starts getting really close to the top, and then it reaches the point where i either have to yell at the other occupant to get out and save themselves while i run away, or grab the plunger and do it. there's no way to shut the water off. so it just starts cresting by the time i find the plunger, and i'm takign care of it, and the woman gets done next door and gives me this look and i said "yeah, THIS is really what i wanted to be doing when i came in here". she said she had noticed it too, so at least she wasn't thinking I clogged it.
seriously, it took 3-4 mnutes of plunging for that mass to go down. by then i had almost puked so many times at what was coming up that i no longer had to pee.

I was at a bar one night. The women's bathroom was just the one room so while waiting in line, you know exactly who came out. I went in the restroom after a woman and found that she had covered the entire toilet seat with toilet paper (germaphobe). She just left the toilet paper all over the rim. I foot pushed it into the toilet. Turns out, she was sitting at the table right next to us. I wish I would have said something.

Posted: 7/22/2010 10:48:24 AM for those Peas (Jenny and Judy) who can't fathom what types of toilets are conducive for proper balanced foot flushing.
exhibit A
exhibit B
exhibit C while considered a tier 3 toilet in the FF official problem toilet handbook, one can negotiate this household toilet that might be found in commercial settings with a bit of practice and with a three point position. One should utilize the one foot on the ground with both elbows touching stall walls for support, until full one foot mastery is achieved.
exhibit D Tier 3 toilet with a potential danger quotient of F-7. The recessed tank center mount button, often confused with it's simpler cousin exhibit B. FF should only be attempted on the ED3 toilet by advanced FF'rs. Proper heel technique should be used along with a full three point stance. Although one might think a shoe of the CFM sort might be of assistance, one would be wiser to utilize a kitten heel or level 1 street shoe to reduce the likely hood of potentially embarrassing falls.
exhibit E Standard tank toilet with side mount handle. The only toilet that requires a backward facing FF. Not to be attempted by amateur card holding FF'rs.

That helps. I can honestly say I have never in my life seen a toilet like exhibit B - and I can see that it makes sense to foot-flush in that case, as you definitely have to lean over somewhat. Exhibit A not so much, but I don't see those either. 99% of toilets I've probably ever seen are of the C/D type - and with those I would definitely fall over

Posted: 7/22/2010 12:32:43 PM Jennyap...Exhibit A does not really show how low the handle is. In my building it is almost at the level of the toilet bowl itself. Maybe 5-6 inches away. And for the other pea whose name I dont remember..NO I honestly can't do it with my hand!! You need to sort of push it down and then back..I can't explain it...and you need a lot of sterngth as well, so I am convinced it was designed specifically for foot-flushing.
And for you peas who are talking about dragging the pee from the handle on the bottom of the shoe into your home, car, etc. I dunno where you live, but in NYC [and most cities for that matter] there are much worse things on the streets than some pee which will get rubbed off on the office carpet as I walk around anyway.
Posted: 7/22/2010 12:42:46 PM Proper use of the "ass-gasket" :
Pull from dispenser...one is enough!
Step into stall and release inside of ass-gasket from the outside sitting edges by tearing the tabs carefully.
Set ass-gasket on toilet seat with inside of ass-gasket falling into the water.
SIT and pee.
Flush, and if done in the above steps, ass-gasket will magically be sucked down with all offending materials. No touching needed.
This has been and announcement of the Emergency Ass-gasket System. If this had been an actual ass-gasket emergency, you would have been instructed where to tune in your area for news and official information about all things ass-gasket related. This ends the ass- gasket emergency broadcast, you may all return to your regularly scheduled programs.

What if you lost your balance? Then you'd land in someone elses pee. I'd clean it up, wash my hands, AND then pee. Hover if you must.

Posted: 7/22/2010 1:17:06 PM This thread has had me LMAO. Adding the jazz hands is priceless.
I'm posting because I just had an incident in the bathroom a few minutes ago. There are 5 stalls. The first one was occupied which is always a given. The second one had left over TP barrier that someone didn't bother to flush. The third one had pee and a floating toy. I was and because it look like a pee/poop and run situation. No TP in the toilet. Ewww! I checked the fourth stall and all looked good. I checked the last one and there is poop smeared all over it.
I wish I could say that I'm shocked by this but I'm not. I've seen worse in other companies like the tampon bandit that would leave debris behind for the rest of us to look at . Sadly there was even speculation that I was the tampon bandit because I happened to be in the bathroom at the same time the bandit did her deed. She knew I knew and tried to place the blame on me. Thankfully my name was cleared as my entire department moved to another floor. When I left the floor the bandit still did her deed. Ick!

Posted: 7/22/2010 1:25:22 PM I made a little power point this morning to hang in all the stalls in the ladies room here...
Now I'm going to print it and go hang it!
Here's what it said: Ladies:
Prior to exiting the stall, please check the following:
1: Any sprinkles are cleaned up and the seat left dry.
2: That a secondary flush is not needed due to the restricted drain lines.
We have signs inside the stalls already asking that personal products not be flushed due to restricted drain lines. That's why I used that wording.

Posted: 7/22/2010 1:29:12 PM I didn't have time yet to read this entire thread, but it occurred to me that there's one thing that peeves me in a public washroom almost as much as the Seat Sprinkler: That would be the Fingertip Wetter - that person who turns the water on for 0.537 seconds, just long enough to dampen the edges of their fingernails, turns the water off and calls their hands washed... She then touches everything in her path between the sink faucets and the door handle.

Posted: 7/22/2010 1:31:18 PM Can someone explain to me the concept of courtesy flushing? I'm just not understanding how flushing the toilet is going to help with the smell of someone pooping.
I thought the courtesy flush for was the poop-ee, not for the benefit of others in the bathroom. If I were to do a courtesy flush, I would be flushing to hide certain noises to avoid embarrassment for myself. If it kept the smell down, I would think everyone would do it.
Good gravy women. Now I need to compile a list of bathroom rules. Just great!

The courtesy flush is flushing after the launch, but before the wipe. That way the boat isn't in the water able to release the smell, but rather on it's way to poop heaven. If you are having multiple launches or a pause before the next launch it allows for less smell to permeate the loo.

Wasn't there a thread a few years ago that had the definitions of certain types of flushes and what they were for? Maybe it wasn't here, but I remember laughing pretty hard at some of the descriptions.

Posted: 7/22/2010 1:53:31 PM I was just telling my coworker about this and she reminded me of my own Toilet Police episode! Our bathroom is just a single, no stalls and it is in the common area, shared by the entire floor. I'm waiting for it to be vacant one day and a woman from a different office comes out. I go in and see that she didn't bother to flush the toilet. This was becoming a common thing and I was SO FREAKIN' happy to have found the culprit!
I followed her and got her attention just before she went back to her suite. She didn't speak English, apparently, so I eventually got her to come back to the bathroom and SEE what I was talking about. She got so red in the face, flushed, and ran out! The woman still won't look at me when we cross paths in the hall.

Posted: 7/22/2010 1:56:07 PM can I just say a courtesy flush is never utilized by a true FF'r.
A true FF'r could never handle a full force spray to their unprotected backside.
The only and I do mean only time courtesy flush/Foot flushing go hand in hand so to speak is when a launch is supersized and there is possibly to much matter and TP to be safely flushed at one time.
It's commonly known that there is nothing of greater embarrassment to any human being than to cause a plugged up loo in a public place or while visiting a private home.
Admit it...next to high grade Uranium falling into the wrong hands, it's number two of situations that universally strike fear into all of mankind.

Posted: 7/22/2010 2:13:16 PM Possible response notes: In a public bathroom where entitlement issues translated into actual drops of urine left on toilet seats...only one woman had the courage to confront The Sprayer.
One woman, with a demeanor of nicety, who could no longer stand by as The Sprayer continued to sprinkle her claim on every toilet stall available.
One woman who, with jazz hands as her ultimate weapon, finally said, "puh-puh-puh!! This isn't right. I get not wanting to sit...but this is just NASTY and gross. I shouldn't have to clean up after you."
Why, you ask, oh Sprayer, should you have to clean up after yourself? If you have to ask, then there are fouler things afoot.
This has been a PSA by The Toilet Police. Supported by "If you sprinkle while you tinkle..and all that jazz."
or Did you know THE SPRAYER works down the hall? Don't let her apparent "good" hygiene fool you.
I would post the second one. For REALS. Directly next to the one she posted.

Posted: 7/22/2010 3:16:07 PM I took the liberty of typing up a list of rules based on the opinions and observations of those participating in this thread. Please let me know if I missed anything.
1. Remain seated at all times. No hovering, squatting or balancing just above or on top of the toilet. This includes but is not limited to the acts of urinating, flatulence, defecating, the installation and/or removal of feminine hygiene products and/or any other bodily function deemed appropriate for the lavatory only.
2. Courtesy flushing is appropriate for any and all acts that generate sound and/or a foul odor. The courtesy flush may not completely conceal the noisy or odorous act, but it certainly doesn't hurt.
3. Flush all leftover items down the toilet. This includes urine, fecal matter, toilet paper and seat protectors. Wrap and deposit the remaining left over items in the waste receptacle (tampons, feminine napkins).
4. Flushing by any other means than your hand is inappropriate. No foot flushing. Also, not flushing is not an option.
5. Upon exiting the lavatory stall, please inspect all areas of the toilet and surrounding areas for foreign objects, urine and water drops. Should you exit the stall in less than perfect condition, you might be held responsible and subject to direct and/or indirect criticism. Upon flushing, should toilet water squirt up and on to the toilet seat, you must re-wipe the toilet seat and flush the soiled toilet paper down the toilet again. Repeat as necessary.
6. Anyone observed not following the rules is subject to public and private ridicule, snarky remarks, hand gestures, flapping arm movements (also known as jazz hands) and will be shamed by the observing party in person, as well as by all parties involved in the message board discussion with said observer.
I think this covers it.

Posted: 7/22/2010 3:31:45 PM First of all, wear that shiny gold/silver star with pride. She's a total chicken-shit. Have some fun with it.
Making up an actual badge would be great. Wear/display it with pride. When people ask about it, tell them the reason for it. If she's too stupid to realize that calling you the toilet police results in her outing herself as a seat-sprayer who doesn't clean up after herself, then she deserves every bit of humiliation that will result from her silly little sign.
I'm going to second the wanted poster thing. Put her picture and name and everything on it-- along with a detailed description of the nature of the offense, etc. Hang it up near her sign, and if she still wants to continue the passive-aggressive dance, then see and raise her with a "game on, bitches!!!" of hanging a copy of the wanted poster on the office bulletin board for all to see.
Be sure to keep us updated.

according to DH he won't take the boys into the mens room because men even pee in the sinks. I don't know if that's true or not but ewwww! Boys are pretty gross. I have 3 boys and they pee everywhere!! I deep clean the bathroom every day.

Goofyspouse, this had me slapping my desk with my hand while I laughed. How funny!
My mom taught me to carefully cover the seat with TP when using a public restroom. This has the added advantage of 1. Revealing any wet spots (whether from a power spray or previous occupant) you may not have seen, and being able to take corrective action (use wad of TP to wipe and then repeat cover operations. 2. If there is no TP in stall, you don't get caught at the critical time without.
She also taught me to FF.
Frankly, I've never understood how a woman could go while standing up or even hovering. Why not just cover the seat with TP instead or am I missing something?

Posted: 7/23/2010 9:02:06 AM OH.THE.FRIGGIN.IRONY!!!!!
Our office has a large conference room that other departments like to use. Everyone is welcomed to it, they just need to reserve it. So, as I was starting my day...I get a call to come to the reception area as someone would like to reserve the room.
Who'w waiting for me? Yup, it's Pee Pee Girl.
I swear, you should've seen the look on her face. I've never seen anyone's color go so fast. So, here's how our conversation went:
Me: Good Morning! Happy Friday! How may I help you? PPG: I'd like to reserve the conference room. Me: Absolutely, date, time...yadda yadda...
here's, the best part....
Me: What department do you work in? PPG: INFECTION CONTROL AND EPIDIMEOLOGY
(and I tell myself, stay calm, wait for it....wait...WAIT!!!)
Me: Oh my, that is SO INTERESTING! You must get to learn SO MUCH about preventing DISEASES, don't you? PPG: Crickets.
Me: Tell me something, how does one get onto the agenda for the next committee meeting? There's a situation in the bathroom accross the hall that I feel the department could provide valuable insight. I'm sure they wouldn't mind spearheading the first "IF YOU SPRAY...YOU PAY. GERM FREE CAMPAIGN"
Pee Pee Girl, then gave me such a twisted STINK EYE...I thought it was going to pop off her socket. But then PPG said, "To get onto the agenda, you just need to submit your reason in writing along with supportive evidence."
She got her room comfirmation and walked out of our office.
Ohhh happy daaaaaay....what great way to start a Friday
Then our reception said, "What's a "IF YOU SPRAY...YOU PAY CAMPAIGN"

Our office has a large conference room that other departments like to use. Everyone is welcomed to it, they just need to reserve it. So, as I was starting my day...I get a call to come Posts: 5,395 Layouts: 0 Loc: Some Beach, Somewhere
to the reception area as someone would like to reserve the room.
Who'w waiting for me? Yup, it's Pee Pee Girl.
I swear, you should've seen the look on her face. I've never seen anyone's color go so fast. So, here's how our conversation went:
Me: Good Morning! Happy Friday! How may I help you? PPG: I'd like to reserve the conference room. Me: Absolutely, date, time...yadda yadda...
here's, the best part....
Me: What department do you work in? PPG: INFECTION CONTROL AND EPIDIMEOLOGY
(and I tell myself, stay calm, wait for it....wait...WAIT!!!)
Me: Oh my, that is SO INTERESTING! You must get to learn SO MUCH about preventing DISEASES, don't you? PPG: Crickets.
Me: Tell me something, how does one get onto the agenda for the next committee meeting? There's a situation in the bathroom accross the hall that I feel the department could provide valuable insight. I'm sure they wouldn't mind spearheading the first "IF YOU SPRAY...YOU PAY. GERM FREE CAMPAIGN"
Pee Pee Girl, then gave me such a twisted STINK EYE...I thought it was going to pop off her socket. But then PPG said, "To get onto the agenda, you just need to submit your reason in writing along with supportive evidence."
She got her room comfirmation and walked out of our office.
Ohhh happy daaaaaay....what great way to start a Friday
Then our reception said, "What's a "IF YOU SPRAY...YOU PAY CAMPAIGN"
AWESOME!!!! Talk about Karma - ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!

If you are having multiple launches or a pause before the next launch it allows for less smell to permeate the loo."

And at that point my eye brow would have gone up, a big huge smile would have gone across my face, and I might have let out a snort. *NO WAY* would I have been able to keep a straight face.
I also have tears running down my face from laughing so hard. I'm just going to blame it on the spicy Indian food I had for lunch if anyone ask.

You realize that now you HAVE TO get on that agenda. You can't back down now!
Kim M. "I am the holder of Virgin Posted: 7/23/2010 1:22:55 PM Well, it sounds like you have the pee end of things all covered for your meeting. Just in case you need a list as supporting evidence for the meeting agenda with the proper title and definition for the other side of the stall (so to speak), here is a list of supporting evidence.
If she was worried about the bathroom police before, now she should really be scared of the new sheriff in town!
As much as we try to convince ourselves otherwise, the WORKPOO is inevitable. For those who hate pooing at work, following is the Survival Guide for taking a dump at work.
CROP DUSTING---When farting, you walk briskly around the office so the smell is not in your area and everyone else gets a whiff but doesn't know where it came from. Be careful when you do this. Do not stop until the full fart has been expelled. Walk an extra 30 feet to make Superpowers. Really."
PeaNut 73,616 March 2003 Posts: 13,401 Layouts: 254 Loc: Living in Kim's Perfect World
sure the smell has left your pants.
FLY BY---The act of scouting out a bathroom before pooing. Walk in and check for other pooers. If there are others in the bathroom, leave and come back again. Be careful not to become a FREQUENT FLYER. People may become suspicious if they catch you constantly going into the bathroom.
ESCAPEE---A fart that slips out while taking a leak at the urinal or forcing a poo in a cubicle. This is usually accompanied by a sudden wave of embarrassment. If you release an escapee, do not acknowledge it. Pretend it did not happen. If you are standing next to the farter in the urinal, pretend you did not hear it. No one likes an escapee. It is uncomfortable for all involved. Making a joke or laughing makes both parties feel uneasy.
JAILBREAK---When forcing a poo, several farts slip out at a machine gun pace. This is usually a side effect of diarrhoea or a hangover. If this should happen, do not panic. Remain in the cubicle until everyone has left the bathroom to spare everyone the awkwardness of what just occurred.
COURTESY FLUSH---The act of flushing the toilet the instant the poo hits the water. This reduces the amount of airtime the poo has to stink up the bathroom. This can help you avoid being caught doing the WALK OF SHAME.
WALK OF SHAME---Walking from the cubicle, to the sink, to the door after you have just stunk up the bathroom. This can be a very uncomfortable moment if someone walks in and busts you. As with farts, it is best to pretend that the smell does not exist. Can be avoided with the use of the COURTESY FLUSH.
OUT OF THE CLOSET POOER---A colleague who poos at work and is proud of it. You will often see an Out Of The Closet Pooer enter the bathroom with a newspaper or magazine under his or her arm. Always look around the office for the Out Of The Closet Pooer before entering the bathroom.
THE POOING FRIENDS NETWORK (P.F.N) --- A group of co-workers who band together to ensure emergency pooing goes off without incident. This group can help you to monitor the whereabouts of Out Of The Closet Pooers, and identify SAFE HAVENS.
SAFE HAVENS---A seldom-used bathroom somewhere in the building where you can least expect visitors. Try floors that are predominantly of the opposite sex. This will reduce the odds of a pooer of your sex entering the bathroom.
TURD BURGLAR---Someone who does not realise that you are in the cubicle and tries to force the door open. This is one of the most shocking and vulnerable moments that can occur when taking a poo at work. If this occurs, remain in the cubicle until the Turd Burglar leaves. This way you will avoid all uncomfortable eye contact.
CAMO-COUGH---A phoney cough that alerts all new entrants into the bathroom that you are in a cubicle. This can be used to cover-up a WATERMELON, or to alert potential Turd Burglars. Very effective when used in conjunction with an ASTAIRE.
ASTAIRE---A subtle toe-tap that is used to alert potential Turd Burglars that you are occupying a cubicle. This will remove all doubt that the cubicle is occupied. If you hear an Astaire, leave the bathroom immediately so the pooer can poo in peace.
WATERMELON---A poo that creates a loud splash when hitting the toilet water. This is also an embarrassing incident. If you feel a Watermelon coming on, create a diversion. See CAMO-COUGH.
HAVANA OMELET---A case of diarrhoea that creates a series of loud splashes in the toilet water. Often accompanied by an Escapee. Try using a Camo-Cough with an Astaire.
UNCLE TED---A bathroom user who seems to linger around forever. Could spend extended lengths of time in front of the mirror or sitting on the pot. An Uncle Ted makes it difficult to relax while on the crapper, as you should always wait to poo when the bathroom is empty. This benefits you as well as the other bathroom attendees.

Posted: 7/23/2010 1:46:23 PM I read the OP to my DH which I rarely, if ever, do and I was laughing so hard. He thought it was funny and then we got to talking about wet toilet seats, mens room vs ladies, sitting down, etc.
Then he told me about a male coworker who has multiple piercings some in the penile/scrotal region and how he now has to sit when he pees b/c of leakage along the way. OMG. TMI right there. I found the idiocy of the piercings and the side effect shocking, but even worse, that he shared this with anyone.
