I've stayed out of this one, but the more I think about how completely insensitive and self centered shoresresident's original posting was the more irritated I get.
I don't think anyone goes out of their way to use a public restroom, but there are many, many, people who cannot strictly save that business for home, and that is why there are public restrooms, instead of just European style pisseuars (sp?) everywhere. Age, medical conditions, diet issues, and many medications can cause people to need to use the public facilities, and for someone to get all high and mighty because they don't want to smell other people's bodily functions, in a room designed for those functions, is just unbelievable. We live in a community with great poverty, homelessness, domestic violence, child abuse, and untreated mental illness, and this person rants about people using public bathrooms for the purpose they were designed for! Talk about misplaced priorities. If they want to rant they should rant about the real problem: inadequate ventilation in public bathrooms. This whole problem could be fixed with a good exhaust fan.
I guess shoresresident plans to always be in perfect health, to never be old (you try telling my 81 year old father he shouldn't use a public restroom, he could never leave home) and to never eat something that upsets their digestive track, because all of those can cause people to need to use public restrooms for their intended function.
Please everyone, flush the toilet, wash your hands, put the towels in the proper container, and leave the facilities as clean as they were when you got there, but PUBLIC facilities are for public use. If you can't deal with the public, stay home, but don't expect to dictate which call of nature people answer in a public bathroom.
