Public restroom experience.
Yesterday after work I had an appointment. Normally it would take me 15 minutes to get from my work to Costco, but with 5 pm traffic it would take the full 30 minutes just about. I haven’t used a public restroom since high school. That three year experience has lasted me a lifetime and caused much trauma on my mental state and is probably why I fear public restrooms so much. Unfortunately I did not need to go until it was time to head to my appointment and was already in my car. A battle ensued within myself. What to do? Do I head back into work and be late for my eye exam follow up or wait until I got home? I decided to wait which was the wrong choice. I will never EVER do that again. It smelled like a mixture of poo, strong pee and bleach making me wanting to hurl. I was debating on if I should just risk the long 30 minute drive home, but then I remembered I needed to get some food on the way home... Blast it all! With the bumpy roads ahead I decided to just hold my breath and get out as quickly as possible.
Luckily when I was telling my boyfriend how the company I work for might move to a building with “shared” (aka open for unknown “dirty” people to use) bathrooms he told me a lot of tips to help me through my experience. Since I did not have a can of Lysol with me I wiped down the seat with wads of toilet paper making sure there was plenty between my fingers and anything that might be lurking on the seat. Then I used two toilet seat covers facing opposite ways. The last tip he had for me was to use the ball of my foot to press the lever down. At first I thought “how silly” when he first told me. I no longer think that. Without touching the stall I quickly pressed the lever down with my foot and got out as fast as I could. The only good experience was the fact they had sinks with faucet sensors that ran a good warm water to wash your hands in. Although this doesn’t do much since you then have to press down the lever to get your paper towels, I used my elbow. I wonder if Lysol makes purse sized containers?
I'm sure half of you guys will be offended by the lyrics, but it's up on top so you can ignore it. :) Disclaimer: I in no way am suggesting you or anyone you might know commit suicide. I do not approve of suicide; even if the person is a dumba**** that makes me wonder why God ever put them on Earth other then to annoy the crap out of me. :)
Edit:As my boss put it I am “giddy”! Since Jared left we have been tossed around by FedEx between two people. I’ve been told a lot of things, but it came down to no one knew when or who our next “main” guy would be. Well today I was given GREAT news! Jared’s coming back!!! I’m giddy as a school girl and as happy as a clam about this news. I liked him a lot and he was cool to joke around with. The guy who told me was very cool too so I will miss him, but I’m just glad we get Jared back! XD
Hmm, why so giddy about Jared? 0.o You have a guy! XP What makes you think it was to annoy YOU? It could be to annoy me, anger her, tickle him or KILL YOU! Which could be reasonable in their delusional minds. =3

I hate public restrooms a lot!! They're not only dirty, smelly and unkept, sometimes people do not flush after they're finished with their "business". Totally disgusting.
