1.Why are the urinals so low and small?
2.Why aren't the privacy dividers of a decent size?
3.Why do you often not feel like touching the door handle cos you know some people dont wash their hands?
4.....And worst of all,why do you often have to stand in other people's urine while having a pee?
Rant over
.
(ps...are the womens any better,or is it just us guys?)

Hello
2. For the urinals? I didn't think they had dividers at all? You should go to America. The cubicles are just made of pieces of plastic (wood whatever) with large 4 ot 5 inch gaps ALL around. No privacy there.

Saw something bizarre in an Irish Bar in Chicago. Went for a leak, and beside the urinals was one of Thomas Crapper's finest No cubicle, no walls. I'd never previously thought of taking a dump as a communal event

I hate the way most toilet doors open inwards so that even if you wash you hands, you have to use a door handle that a load of blokes have touched, without washing theres.

In general the Ladies toilets are much cleaner and nicer, in fact when fitting out toilets the standard of fitments for ladies is frequently higher.
Obviously all have bad experences in Public Toilets but as a law of averages the Ladies are better!

This annoys me too Paul.
I never use urinals, they are just so pre-historic
And whenever I leave the lav, then I touch the very end of the door handle with thumb & forefinger to minimise exposure to germs
Call me a snob as much as you like. But when you take a slash, you have the right to some privacy & hygiene.

Are public toilets a reasonable indicator of the general state of the country..ie evrybody in it for themselves, no civic pride, no consideration for others, and just downright plain nasty.

Why do American toilets have the large gaps all around?
When I was working in New York I was horified to use the toilets in the office but due to the long hours we worked we had no choice.
Secondly, today at the beach was the worst. Teh public toilets were piled up with sh!tty disposable nappies. Yuk

I used to live in Brighton and one day while sunning myself on the beach I decided to use the public lavatories. Walked past the nearby ice cream vendors and play park, opened the door to be confronted by a bloke giving another a blow job in one of the open stalls.
Now I'm a fairly liberal sort of guy but somehow I don't think I'd have managed to go for a slash while that was going on. Dirty toilets and germs on door handles are the least of your worries.

having also heard someone having a 5 knuckle shuffle in a cubicle there's no way I'd use one if the next one is occupied
public loos are for gay men looking for sex in my opinion. A mate of mine who is a plumber was propostioned in a public lav

The doors on the cubicles open inwards so when you finish you have to breath in to open the fcukin door or end up wiping you trousers all over the toilet. There is a pub near me you cant even shut the doors the cubicles are so small you would have to stand on the toilet seat to do so.

Two old toilet attendants are reminiscing about the old days. One says, "The toilets aren't like they used to be. Back then, we didn't have p00fs coming in to do their business. Back then, we didn't have drug addicts coming in to inject themselves. The way it is now, when someone comes in and just has a ****, why, it's like a breath of fresh air!"

I have been to Belgium quite a few times and their public toilets are amazing. There is an attendant and you usually have to pay abou 30 pence for the facilities. But they are amazingly clean and modern. They also provide hair gel, combs, aftershave, dheodrant etc. etc.
And they don't stink either

On my first visit to a Belgian toilet (approx 1995) while driving to Holland, I walked past the attendant. She said something in French to the effect that I needed to pay. I said "Sorry, I don't speak French and don't have any Francs." Her response? "Twenty pence please, Sir."
