What, your crap don’t smell???

I don’t even know why I am writing about this.  Guess I have another slow day and have nothing to really talk about.  And what is that stupid topic that popped into my head when nothing else would?  Over the years, I have noticed that when people enter a stall or a bathroom almost immediately after someone has done their business, they give reactions that, shall we say, demonstrate their displeasure with the smell.  Seriously, throughout my life I have seen reactions such as a crunching of a person’s nose, pinching of their nose, a “WHEW!!!” yell, sticking their tongue out, walking in and then immediately walking out.

Now, its not like I’m not thinking the same thing when it happens to me.  Trust me, I’ve been to some stalls that made me want to yak.  But, here’s my question.  Why do people react in such a way when in just a few moments, they are going to contribute to said odor themselves.  What?  Is it just that the person is used to their own smells so that when they go they don’t notice it?  Or are they just so wonderful that their crap don’t smell?  Hmmm, makes you wonder, huh?

While on the topic of bathrooms, here are some other ponderings.

I’ve seen on more than one occasion people using tons of toilet paper on the seat cover instead of using the toilet seat cover.  Why is that?  Is toilet paper more sanitary than the paper they make those coverings with?  I would have to imagine that whoever does this is not in a huge hurry to go to the bathroom because it takes much longer to take multiple sheets of toilet paper to cover the seat than it does to just take out a sheet from the toilet covers.

What’s the point of hand dryers?  They take longer, are not necessarily more environmentally friendly, and definitely not more sanitary as you will have to then open the bathroom door with your bare hands instead of with the paper towel you just used to dry.  Over the years I have seen many, many guys go to the bathroom and not wash their hands afterward.  I’m not saying for sure that opening the door with your bare hands is not sanitary.  Its probably perfectly fine.  I think this is more psychological.

I never understood how people can talk on the phone while on the can.  Just seems weird when I walk into the restroom and hear a conversation.  Reading, hell even texting, I might be able to imagine and accept, but speaking on the phone?  Weird.

Even worse?  People taking a crap in stalls next to each other conversing.  Guys do not talk while peeing, so why in the hell should they do so while taking a crap??  I haven’t seen this often, but I have seen it more than once.
