WW - My Toilet Phobia

Airport Bathrooms.



Just to make it clear, this is the #1 reason why I won't travel unless someone threatens me with my job. A "flight delay" doesn't just mean you don't get to take off on time, it means you are sentenced to indefinite usage of a public toilet. May God have mercy on your soul.


I want to encourage you to scroll down just a weeee bit farther to see the announcement I made yesterday...please help if you can.



Thanks again to Angie
for another ragin' Wordful Wednesday...






Also Thanks to 5 Minutes for Mom for "Wordless" Wednesday...I always have such a problem being wordless...

I hate ALL public toilets and will do everything in my power to hold it until I get home or to my hotel room.

Ohhhhhhhhhhh, don't get me started on my public toilet rants!!! Let me just say, one time I walked into one, and there stood a naked gal...washing her body/hair, and you name it...right there at the sinks. She was homeless I'm sure, but just think of all the 'nasties' .....ewwwwwwwwwww!!


My Wordful is ...

Don't you know the guy in the stall next to you was thinking what a sicko you were for snapping a picture of god-knows-what in the toilet? I hope you explained the toilet was empty and you weren't doing a photoshoot of terds.

Public toilets can be nasty. It looks like you found a really bad one here too.

Petra a.k.a The Wise (*Young*) Mommy said...

Yeah, those are gross. But NOTHING is worse than a port-o-potty. I REFUSE to go in one of those. I will go in an empty Coke bottle before I sit on a hole in a plastic box that contains everyone else's shit and piss that has been there before.

I'm right there with ya! There's not enough Purell in the world for public toilet use. lol. I have to go REAL bad before using! lol

Lisa @ Crazy Adventures in Parenting said...

I am so with you!!! I will have nightmares foreverandeverandever now that you have encapsulated it into a picture-form. *shivers*

Tanya said...

Country Mouse, City Mouse said...

That is not the worst I have seen. Made me throw up in my mouth a little though!

AnnieRoso said...

You think that's bad? Try doing it with two kids, 3 and 5. The 3 year old likes to touch EVERYTHING. ~shudder!~

Jillene said...

Public toilets=NASSSSSSSTY!! I can't do them unless it is an upmost emergency.

Claremont First Ward said...

There's just something about toilets today.....:)

Kristina P. said...

I don't even use toilet seat covers. I like to risk my life on a daily basis.

Jenners said...

At least the water was clean!!!!! I've seen worse ... much worse. We actually have a photo somewhere of a public toilet that someone left unflushed with a -- how to say this nicely? -- "big log" in it. Ick. And I still have a recurring dream where I am stuck in a public bathroom and all the toilets are just clogged with disgusting stuff and I really have to go and I keep running and running but they are all gross.

Sandra said...

I wholeheartedly agree!

I think what you are doing for St. Baldricks is wonderful.

My mother is a hairdresser and every year, she participates in a similar event for making wigs of human hair for cancer ridden children. Rock on...

Brandy said...

I knew I wasnt the only one who hated to use public restrooms!

Debz said...

That's actually one of the cleanest public bathrooms I've seen. And that's pathetic in and of itself.

Unknown said...

Ewwwww...

Normally I say "thanks for sharing" when I visit WW posts. But, um, yeah. I can't say that. That's just nasty!

Dawn Parsons Smith said...

Blech, yuck and more blech!
Public toilets are biohazards!

(also, did a linky to your post from yesterday in my blog this morning...hope it helps:)

Sharlene said...

i had to get over my phobia when I got a bladder disorder. Still gross though.

Rachel said...

i saw this and immediately thought about the "secret signal" that politician was talking about. dirty bathroom + secret signal = even scarier.

Ewwwww, I hate public toilets too. Port-a-loos are the worst! Got to love toilet seat covers though!

Jenni said...

One of my very funniest bathroom stories happened in the airport bathroom in San Juan. LOL! Craziness.

Clare said...

that is sick, i think it is just boys bathrooms:)

Ali said...

I can remember taking my potty trained 2 yr old to the air show and he really had to use the porta-potty. I REALLY didn't want to go in that thing so I kept trying to convince him to go in his pull-up! He wouldn't do it!

Unknown said...

I may or may not be known to use a portable potty seat myself.

Lee said...

I really hate public restrooms.
Especially at walmart.
Walmart seems to have toilets from hell.

Natalie said...

I have serious issues & phobias dealing with public restrooms. I refuse to use them. It can make for some interesting days, but I HATE them. They scare the sh*t out of me.. no pun intended.
