[Phalanx]

If we're still on toilets here...haha..."on toilets"...
I got some stuff to say.

Generally, I aim pretty well. I seldom piss ON a toilet seat, even if I've not raised it. More often than not though, I do lift it...just habit, and slamming it down feels kinda like "ok, transaction complete, check is in the mail, bitch"

What bugs me, is chicks that whine about it if you leave it up...sure, I get that they don't use it when it's up, but, we don't use it (most often) when it's down, yet...we don't expect them to raise it for us, no?
Can't really be a hygeine thing assuming people wash their hands when they get outta there. Anyways, essentially not a point I figure worth arguing. Just shut the lid yourself girls, and know that for the few incredibly traumatic times you find the lid "up", us guys find it "down" almost every damn time, in our lives.

Public restrooms...yeck!
I won't take a shit in a public bathroom unless it's like extremely well maintained and cleaned regularly. (I'm most partial to cinema bathrooms, around here, they're kept the best)...pissing, fine, whatever.

I just had an experience with a public restroom actually, or something like one. I was on a long (8 hour) train trip on a "nice" train, yknow, one of the expensive ones that goes like, WAY further than most. Anyways, this little stall is TINY. No problem, that's to be expected.
However, it doesn't lock with a simple mechanism like most public restrooms, it has a proper switch/latch activated internal lock. So anyways, I had a piss, washed up, and went to get outta there, unlocked the door.
Or so I thought...Locked door.
Thought maybe I'd left it unlocked in the first place, therefore I'd just locked it....so, went to open the door again, still locked.
After trying for about 5 minutes the same thing, and trying to put my full weight onto the door handle, I was starting to get a mite irritated.
So, I went ahead and put my shoulder into that door. Now...I'm pretty heavy set, and most doors would really not be a problem for me. But this bastard mustve been somehow reinforced ,after trying three times, I realised my shoulder sould probably break if I kept this up.
Looked around, then again at the door.
I noticed the bottom of the door, an area covering about 2/5 of the mass of the door was like an attatched ventillation hatch.
I didn't see that there was any other options.
So, I kicked that bitch with the heel of my boot, and it literally flew off and hit the wall across from it, leaving me to climb out through the hatch.
After extricating myself, I walked back to my seat.
Evidently there's some kind of surveillance system in the outer carriages with the bathrooms, because next thing I know, I'm getting this asshole all up in my face about how I just "decided to smash the door in", so, I corrected him, and said that it was more like smashing it OUT, and attempted to explain the situation.
Apparently there was an emergency button someplace in there...I should have known this, he says...well, forgive me if I've never ONCE seen an emergency button in anything other than a handicapped toilet, and when I'm facing the prospect of being trapped in there for 8 hours, in a tiny space, I'm not ashamed to admit I panicked a little, and did what I had to.
The guy didn't seem willing to accept I'd done it for anything more than just having fun...so I told him that maybe if the bathrooms were better maintained, things like this wouldn't happen...I got told "there's nothing wrong with it", and that my details were gonna be given to the authorities, I was like "fine...run along".
Funny thing is, later on the journey, an announcement was made that an alltogether different bathroom on the train was also broken, and under repair.
Didn't get much attitude after that point.
....so, that was my story. Poor service.
Still, as much as I maintain that it seemed the only option at the time, and I needed to do it, I still kinda liked breaking the door.
