Before I’d really heard much about Ikea, SNL did a sketch making fun of all the names. Once I shopped at Ikea (Minneapolis), I realized that SNL’s parody didn’t even come close to appropriate mocking levels.

Nope, from what I’ve heard, women are as bad as or worse than men. Tanning salons (mostly) cater to women, and they have TONS of account of women peeing in the rooms. Retail stores have horror stories of people of both sexes having explosive diarrhea in changing rooms…

I’d really like to see the psychology behind this stuff. It’s obviously wide spread enough to warrant this story:

Having spent a summer cleaning beach restrooms I can assure you, unless it’s a holiday weekend, women are far more disgusting in the bathrooms.

There’s a reason we carry shovels into the bathroom and why the floors have to be hosed down and it ain’t because of beach sand.

every toilet in the states doubles as a drinking fountain. But only if you’re a dog. Hopefully, only if you’re a dog. Some people are odd like that.

I’m concerned by number 3. They have drinking fountains shaped like toilets in America?

You’re not wrong in thinking that some women can be just as filthy and disgusting as men. In general, though, I think we’re a bit cleaner. However, the state I’ve seen some public toilets in is appalling. I’ve never seen shit everywhere, but I’m sure it happens. The thing is, if all women sat on the toilet seat, things would be fine. Some think their rear is too precious to touch a public toilet seat, so they hover and spray urine all over the seat, without regard for anyone else using the toilet after them. I once worked with a woman who did this. The cleaning crews obviously cleaned the toilets every night and we were all very courteous except this (evil) woman. There were four stalls in the ladies room and by the end of the day, three were usually covered in urine, since she refused to reuse the toilets she’d dirtied. There weren’t many of us in the office and none liked this woman already, so it wasn’t hard to figure out who it was. A co-worker left an anonymous passive aggressive note for her on her desk about what she was doing. It worked, but you could tell she was humiliated, which none of us cared about. She had a princess complex and needed to be put in her place.

I understand to an extent, but don’t condone, using an alley as a toilet on a drunken night out. It’s absolutely disgusting, but drunk people have to pee and have little regard for etiquette. I also sort of understand IKEA, since it IS a toilet. Some people aren’t in their right mind and could get confused, or a child could wander off from their parents for a split second and think it’s fine to use. What I don’t understand at all and find completely appalling is peeing in a trash can in a tanning salon. You’re most likely not drunk and in your right mind, and you’re not a child. How the hell would you ever think it’s okay to do that? You’d have to be the most inconsiderate, selfish arse on the planet to think that’s acceptable behaviour. I mean, I guess it doesn’t surprise me that people stupid and vain enough to try to give themselves skin cancer would be that inconsiderate, but COME ON, PEOPLE! GROW UP!

From what I’ve heard of retail horror stories, women are the ones that shit everywhere.
And from the statistics of which gender is most likely to use a tanning salon, I’d also say it’s likely women are the culprits there too.

When it comes to puddles of piss I generally think men though, for obvious reasons.

Not sure why you would think one gender is “cleaner” or less likely to do their business in public than the other. If you really want to go there, by the state of ladies’ bathrooms and mens’ bathrooms I’ve seen, a lot more women are filthy and disgusting.

Chicago would have less of an issue with this if there were some #*@($& public toilets. Where else are you supposed to go? Seriously.

Am I being sexist to assume that mostly men do this? An interesting google: “public urination murder.” Some people apparently get really pissed off over the issue and a PA note is not enough.
