It returns: The big question, who are the bigger pigs...(disgusting)

[Quitbuggingmeandgoaway]

Whom do you think are the bigger pigs in public restrooms? Men or Women?

While each gender has its reason(s), i'd have to say the worst i've ever had was in the ladies room.......especially with those fem. hygiene boxes and constantly clogged toilets.

[poofy_puff]

While the men's rest room usually has a constant low-level smell of the urinal blocks fighting it out with the stink of Number Two, the ladies' room wins for the most exotic messes (and no urinal blocks to fight with). The reason I know this is because LR messes tend to render the facility unusable and I have had to use the men's room on certain occasions for including but not limited to that reason. (I can pass for a guy if I have to).

Part of the reason for this is because women bring kids into the LR more than men bring them into the MR, but I have seen the mess differential happen in bars and nightclubs too where it can't be because of that.

By far, women's restrooms!

At teh Orifice Depot, the worst desecration of a stall was a smattering of ass vomit all over the stall walls and floor. The stench was somewhat like roadkill marinating in an acid bath...

The mens' room? The most I ever had to deal with was toilets clogged with too much TP.

I have to say, in my store experience, the more "intentional" disgustingness (poo art, anyone?) was in the men's room, but the general disgustingness award (how do you pee all over the seat like that?!) goes to the women's room.

Also, in Store1, they stopped putting paper towels in the men's room because they kept finding their way into the urinals and causing floods.

"Ass vomit"

When I was in maintenance I used to have to hold my breath when emptying out the disposal bins in the women's restroom stalls.

There have been some pretty disgusting messes in the mens room too.

I'd call it a tie.

[Cyphr]

Not quite a tie womens tended to have worse messes (IF you change tampons in the bathroom dont leave it as a floater) however i have found used condoms in the handicap stall in the mens room. As a sidenote to this story our bathrooms are horrible and i try to avoid them till cleaning time and i would never never never want to undress in there!

[Rebel1012]

as a pro toilet cleaner...i would say the ladies win hands down

With the mens it gets messy due to work boots and accidental messes like slight misses on urinal and skid marks in teh pan

While ladies go out of there way to mess teh walls and wipe cr#p on things

Womens room. The men have never caused a clog that left ALL the plumbing in the building useless. 4 times in the past year items have been flushed down the women's toilets that have caused clogs that ended up flooding the women's room, one of them required us to replace a toilet.

I hesitate to ask this rhetorical question, but HOW in God's name can someone manage to spray shit all over walls and ceilings???

Not meaning HOW in the 'how DARE you?' sense....but how is it physically possible?

I can't wrap my teeny brain around this disgusting phenomenon.

[GingerBiscuit]

I don't know. Both tend to be pretty foul- I have had to use mens public loos on occasion, and while the womens tend to be filthy, mens tend to be marginally worse. Most famous one (that led to me holding it till I could find another) had porn mags scattered over the floor, and feces and semen on the seats.

[Can I Help Your A$$?]

Women's, because in trying to stay dainty, (hovering), women spray their filth all over the restroom.

They're called toilet seat covers, gals. Use them.

[unholypet]

Beware grossness in this post.

As a veteran cleaner, and medical student, here are the dirty facts;

You need a tight sphincter to use this fuction.
There must be less solid, and more squishy or liquid.
You were probally holding it for a while.

The anus contracts to hold it in, and by instinct, when we try to make it to the bathroom, we squeeze it tighter. The extra pressure is much like shaking a soda can.

When the person sits down, they hold their stomach or hip area, causing more pressure. The less-than-solid excrement is thus released with an overly-tightened sphincter motion, so the anus holds the pressure longer than it "means" to.

And, in turn, it releases as such.

To get it on the walls and ceiling, all need be is to bend forward =p

Oh, unholypet, thou art the Keeper of the Knowledge that People Ought Not To Know!

But, I agree, women are pretty darn gross. I am the veteran of many, many, MANY road trips throughout my life and have therefore seen my more-than-fair share of convenience store/gas station bathrooms, both men's and women's. I have personally formed the opinion that women do these unspeakable things because they think they can get away with them. We're dainty and perfect, are we not? We don't sweat, we perspire. We don't shit, we poo. Therefore, no one will suspect us of the anal-spray on the walls! Nope, it wasn't me!

[Silas G. T. Brontë]

Since I lived in a college dorm, I always thought that the men's restrooms were dirtier than the womens'. Since the men's restroom were usually clogged with toilet paper and feces, I couldn't believe when someone told me the womens' were worse with the tampons.

[DesignFox]

I don't know. I'd say it's a tie. Both women's and men's bathrooms get nasty, just in different ways.

My SO can attest to the fact that the men in his office building are pigs. I won't describe some of what he's found in the bathroom...

On the other hand, women do have this tendency to spray pee everywhere...(just sit goddammit...) and make certain messes with their hygene products...so...yea.

I say tie. Both are pigs.
