I'd guess that at least 90% of the Amiga.org membership is male, so I'd like to pose a question. Why do our bathrooms smell so bad?
I'm talking about public toilets, mostly. My bathroom smells lovely now that my (incidentally male) housemate has gone. What genetic deficiency is it in men that precludes our ability to keep the toilets clean? I'm sure you're all aware of this. You walk past a girl's toilet and it doesn't smell, or even smells nice. You can smell the men's toilets fifty yards away and it is
not pleasant.
Maybe it's the use of urinals and things that makes it more smelly. Everyone's doings get flushed away in the girl's room. But my harrowing experience in a men's public toilet yesterday suggests that an all-cubicle gentleman's (hah!) room would not remedy the situation.
So like, normally, I avoid going near the public toilets. Supermarkets aren't so bad because the owners have a commercial interest in keeping the place smelling decent, but dingy shopping centre toilets run by the council... ew. These particular toilets have blue lights installed now to combat drug use. I wouldn't know how that's supposed to work. I do know it's a lot easier to fall on your arse or get mugged there now. Anyway, I managed to find a cubicle with a toilet that wasn't entirely covered in excrement and spent a few minutes attempting to sanitise the seat to my satisfaction, eventually deciding I might as well just sit on the cleanest bit and then bathe for three hours when I get home.
So, you know, I did my business. Then I notice the cubicle next to me, there's a grunt. I see a shoe, and it's pointing towards the toilet, so he's not taking a s***. I'm pretty sure there was a guy in the next cubicle masturbating.
It's like "when you gotta go, you gotta go" taken to its logical conclusion. I mean, ew!!!
Speaking of masturbating in the toilets, I'm just watching 'Secretary', which one Matthew Parsons might be interested to know. Cool film. :-)
