A lament for the public restroom

(I have no idea who would possibly care about my pet peeves about public bathrooms, so the blog is where they land. If I ever become a stand-up comedian, this will find its way into my act for sure.)

Other than the obvious gross factor of public restrooms, there are some pretty blatant areas for improvement.
1- Why are the latches on the stall doors ALWAYS broken? Can the great inventors in this world not figure out a fool-proof latch that will endure the beating? Really. They are always broken!

2- Who invented that toilet paper holder that doesn't turn? As if the frail quality of the toilet paper wasn't enough, "let's put it on a spool that doesn't turn and make them work for it."

3- The counter-tops by the sink are always wet and I would rather throw my purse in a pile of cow manure before I set it on the floor. Public restrooms need to put hooks on the edge of the counter-tops for women to hang their purses.

4- The smell of public restroom cleanser is enough to make anyone gag. And the smell of public restroom hand cleanser screams at you the rest of the day. Bleh.

5- Because I loathe those air hand dryers, I always choose the paper towel dispenser. The sensors on those things make any self-respecting adult look like a complete moron.

That's all for now.
