  • The Top 10 Worst Toilet Manners

    Didn't your mummy teach you some toilet manners? The other day I went to the girl's toilets at my university and was shocked by the lack of simple toilet manners. I go to university, where people are aged 18 years and older. Surely by this age, people should know some simple toilet manners.

    Some simple courtesy for the next person who has to use the toilet... and for the cleaner's who have to clean up your mess. Complied below are what I consider the Top 10 worst toilet manners... with pictures included. Don't worry... nothing too graphic. I drew simple black and white outlines so as not to freak anyone out... but if you are easily grossed out click the little 'x' in the corner of your browser now!

    #1 Worst Toilet Manner: Pad left on the floor
    How hard is it to put your pad in the sanitary bin provided? I don't want to see your pad!!! The cleaners don't want to pick up your pad. Save us the drama and put it in the sanitary bin yourself!


    #2 Worst Toilet Manner: Pee left on the seat
    How hard is it to wipe yourself sitting down so you don't dribble on the seat (I'm talking about a girl's toilet, I realize it's different for guys). If you do make a mess can't you at least wipe it up with toilet paper? Thanks


    #3 Worst Toilet Manner: Wiping hands on wall
    I can't believe someone would actually do this! I have seen period blood smeared on the wall. My husband has seen a name written on the wall in poo. So disgusting! Please use the toilet paper provided! If there is no toilet paper wait til you get home to do your business!


    #4 Worst Toilet Manner: Not flushing the toilet
    Um. How hard is it to press the button at the top of the toilet? If it doesn't all go down with the first flush can you press it a 2nd time? In most cases there are 2 buttons at the top on the toilet. The half flush and the full flush. Use your imagination to work out which one you need.


    #5 Worst Toilet Manner: Toilet paper on the floor
    This is pretty gross too. If you drop some toilet paper, please pick it up. And please don't miss the bowl after cleaning yourself up! Some people actually have phobias of bits of paper left on the floor - whether they are clean or dirty.


    #6 Worst Toilet Manner: Tampon wrappers on the floor
    I don't know if you've seen this. Those little twist wrappers for tampons left on the toilet floor. It's not too hard to put these in the sanitary bin along with your other rubbish, is it?


    #7 Worst Toilet Manner: pad stuck on the sanitary bin
    Pads have an adhesive strip on the bottom. It's pretty disgusting to see a bloodied pad stuck on the outside of the sanitary bin. Is it so hard to make sure it goes inside the bin? I suggest wrapping your pad in toilet paper before disposing of it.


    #8 Worst Toilet Manner: blood on the seat and bowl
    Does this really need an explanation? It's gross. Please clean up your mess.


    #9 Worst Toilet Manner: wet door handles
    It's a horrible experience to open the door to the bathroom and touch a wet door handle. Try toilet paper, handtowels or a handryer so we don't get your germs!


    #10 Worst Toilet Manner: b***y arguments on the wall
    Don't you have anything better to do then argue with graffiti on the toilet wall?


    Questions:
    Have you witnessed any of the above bad toilet manners? Do you agree with my ordering? Are there any other bad toilet manners you've encountered? Which number do you think is the worst?
