The Rules in a Public Restroom
We all do it. We use the restroom. But what I don't understand is why we try to hide it? You know exactly what I mean. You walk in a public restroom and it has other people in there. So what do you do? You usually wait for the other person to start or you wait for them to leave? Amirite? But seriously....let us chitchat about the do's and the DO NOT EVER in the restroom setting. Because....it really needs to be said. You're in the bathroom for a reason, so let's learn to public restroom. This blog is mostly for ladies, but can be applied everywhere.
10) If you get water all over the sink, wipe it up. If you miss the garbage can with your paper towels or, um, “napkins”, pick them up and try again.
9) Pee belongs IN the bowl. Not around it, not on it, not on the floor surrounding it, INSIDE THE ACTUAL BOWL, where the water sits, in there. If you miss -and I don’t even want to begin imagining how this happens- clean it up ya nasty!
8) Sound affects. I don’t need to hear you grunting like you are benching your weight at the gym, I don’t want to hear you breathing heavy, I don’t want to hear you at all to be honest, I want to pretend you are not even there.
7) If you use the last of the TP, do everyone a favor. Share. Either find someone to replace the roll, grab some paper towel and place it on the dowel where the old TP used to live, or grab some TP from the next stall.
6) Wash. Your. Hands. Please. With soap. Do this. Always.
5) Do not talk to me while I’m in the stall. You can catch me before, you can hit me up after, but not in the middle. When that door shuts, so should all outside distractions, and my GOODNESS don't make eye contact with me through the door crack.
4) So there is this handle looking thing toward the top/back of the toilet, see, and if you push it down, the water and all that’s in the water, will go down this hole to this faraway place that noone needs or wants to know about. It’s magical, really, so be a part of that magic and please, when you are done...PUSH THE LEVER, CRONK!
3) None of us particularly enjoy this aunt/friend/time that females are graced with, yet it happens all the same, and we are obligated to do our due diligence in making sure she has the most cleanest of stays imaginable. Regardless of what your peeps said, you CAN flush your tampons down that magical hole I was talking about above. And if you choose to opt for a “padded” option, PLEASE wrap it up before you pitch it. It’s bad enough we have our own, we don’t need to deal with your’s too.
2) While commonly a woman is taught that “number two” should be avoided publicly at all times, I will be the first to admit, sometimes it is 100% unavoidable. A lady should have no fear, however, as she should always be prepared and in saying that I mean, they make travel sized perfume and body sprays for a reason. Do not be afraid to bear arms.
1) NUMERO UNO, we have reached the end and so we exit with a bang...or rather, a bomb, or rather, DO NOT BOMB IF YOU DONT NEED TO! If you know you are on the verge of a number two situation (as in see above #2 situation), and we all KNOW, ladies, when this time is upon us...three words

PREEMPTIVE COURTESY FLUSH.
Kills two birds with one stone. You may use this flush as much as possible, I’d much rather hear 10-20 water swirls than, well, the other.
All of these scenarios I have personally faced in inspiration of this list, soooo all in alllll....take the PR manners seriously. Be clean. That's all.
