What should you do if all the stalls in the pizza hut restroom are occupied? Is it rude to knock on one?

Only if you bang the door down

actually i just watched a thing on t.v. about germs. they said bathrooms are okay and that although they are dirty, as long as you are not licking your hands afterward, you have nothing to worry about really.  their advice was:  always wear shoes,  go in the very first stall (less people use ones closer to the doors),  unless you can visibly SEE something gross on the toilet seat -it is OK to sit on it, even without a seat cover,  and wash your hands with soap for minimum of 20 seconds (sing the ABC's in your head while washing to do it for the right amount of time).  The germ people actually said that shopping carts from grocery stores fail more health/hygeine inspections than most public bathrooms!!! But no one thinks twice about touching a shopping cart handle.  They tested one and found all sorts of viruses and bacteria including poo. So never, never take free food samples from the grocery store without sanitizing, or your likely to get sick from it. \n\n  \nI don't mind public bathrooms unless they are really, really gross. You always hear horror stories about people who contract diseases from public bathrooms, but I think they are few and far between. I've never known (or met anyone who has known) anyone who has gotten medical problems from a public bathroom....\nIn Switzerland (i think) an artist created a fully functional bathroom on a street corner. it's walls are two-way mirrors. So people on the street just see a mirror, but from the inside you can see everything outside. So you're basically doing your business in front of everyone, but they can't see you.  Apparently no one uses it because it's so strange and they get anxiety about it. Talk about public bathrooms.... haha.

If you gotta go...then you gotta go. It's not like we pee with the stall doors open, so there's nothing to see. Using the opposite gender's bathroom is better than pissing your pants.

Yes, please do. =)\n\nConsider this- the Men's room has both Urinals and toilets.  If the intent of the rest room was merely for 'number one' the urinals would suffice (save possibly one bowl for the handicapped)

I have never peeked. Smells to bad in there. How do I know? Everytime the door comes open, everybody knows.

You know, you bring up an interesting point.\n\nWhen you are at home, you can just turn on the sink next to you and clean off your hand.\n\nHowever, this scenario is especially inconvenient when you are in a stall somewhere else. What do you do then? You can pseudo-clean up by getting most of it off with another sheet of toilet paper, but your hand still has crap and germs on it. Then you have to pull up your pants with your clean hand and try to button and zipper up. This is not easy, and most people probably give up and use both hands to get their pants up. So then you've gotten crap on your pants and shirt and have to go back to the office.\n\nIn this world of computers and fancy cars that give you directions, why are we still rolling toilet paper in a ball to wipe our @$$es, and we can't even see what we're doing?\nI don't get that. Don't the Japanese have robot toilets that scrub and clean your @$$? Why can't we get that here in the US?

The law requires the handicapped be accommodated by adequate facilities.  It doesn't require people to wet themselves waiting for a regular stall to open.  In my company everyone wants the "big stall" because you can stretch out.  You can also change in there if you are going to the gym after work.

I would lock the door personally. Most people don't knock before they open a closed door. Also I would expect the guest to do the same thing. It prevents embarrassments

I would give it a go.  I'm don't think I'm ashamed to pee in front of strangers, though pooping or changing a maxi pad would be a different matter.  And when you consider that urinals usually have dividers between them, you get enough privacy, anyway.

At my workplace, I finally posted a sign ...\n\n"Ladies, if you piss like a man, then raise the seat like a man, dammit!"\n\n... and it actually worked.\n\nIn public restrooms, I try to use the handicapped stall with the handrails, so that I can "hover" more easily -- after raising the seat of course! -- or to use my "urinette". A urinette is a kind of contoured funnel with a long tube that allows a women to urinate standing without making a mess of her clothing. Many camping supply stores sell them for hikers.\n\nBut to answer your question: Because they are filthy swine with no consideration for others. It is unspeakably vile to leave urine, feces, sputum, nose matter, and other bodily effusions lying about where others are sure to come into contact with them. These are probably the same people who resist cleaning up after their dogs.

There is nothing wrong with you, it's called being "pee-shy".  If you feel more comfortable using a stall in public, than so be it.  I am also  the same way.  A website you might try is www.paruresis.org

I think that you should go straight to the store manager, and tell him what has been going on. Tell him that you feel uncomfortable with all their questions. While you may like your coworkers, you are under no obligation to tell them anything of your personal life. If the store manager does not do anything to resolve this problem, go to the district manager. Keep going over everyone's head who refuses to acknowledge this complaint of (possible) sexual harrassment. Most chain restarants (Pizza Hut, McDonalds) have a 1-800 number to call to report sexual harrasment.

The really really first thing that I do when I go inside a public rest room is to glance at my reflection in the mirror before I look at the queue for the stalls. When I get into the stall, I check for cleanliness first, then toilet paper second.  If everything is OK, I proceed inside but before anything else, I check the lock. If that's OK as well, then BINGO!! I go and do my business.

LMAO!!  ooh that is great stuff.\nheres what i'd do - make a joke out of it by smelling the guy next to you, tell heim he should really see somebody about that.  HA!  Then excuse yourself and let off some "steam" in the bathroom.\nhopefully your office can have a sense of humor about it!

I have a slightly different take on this one.  I do agree with most and try to leave it down at home because I live with my wife and I want to be kind to her.\n\nBut in public places like smaller restaurants or other places that have unisex toilets, I think it's better to leave it up.\n\nWhy?  Because the truth is--and I've never understood this--some guys are just lazy or don't give a damn, and they won't bother to lift up the seat if it's already down.  And, well, you can figure out what happens next, and it ends up all gross.\n\nThis happens all the time in the small men's restroom at work--they didn't install enough urinals for the number of men on that floor, so a lot of times we just use the cabins instead of waiting.  I can't tell you the number of times I've gone in and found it disgusting after some idiot went in there and didn't bother to raise the seat.\n\nSame thing at a house party where the liquor is flowing--if you want to end up with a nice, clean bathroom for the ladies, ladies, then make sure to leave the seat up for all the blotto blokes!  (Either that, or have two bathrooms!)
