Public Restrooms.....

I have a question for you all...this may offend some of you, but that isn't my intention at all. (I will apologize in advance to those who do become offended...) But if you are doing your business in a public restroom and you unintentionally clog the toilet, do you tell someone in charge or do you leave it and walk out as if nothing happened??? I ask because when you walk into some of those nasty restrooms, it looks like someone had just left it and nothing had been done about it--and it's nasty!!!!!

This just happened to me not too long ago, and fortunately there was a plunger beside the toilet, so I used it..but if it wasn't there, and the toilet would have overflowed I would have gotten somebody..Even if it just clogged but didn't overflow I would tell someone..There is nothing worse than to go into a public restroom and it is disgusting..many times I just turned around and left..no way was I going to use it..

If I have to, I will wait until I get home.....unless I have to go really, really bad!!

I will wait till I get home too but sometimes there is no waiting...It is either there or in my pants.....One time I was in K-mart and just as I was getting ready to leave, a lady asked me for help..She had a mess, it was all over her dress and such..I helped her clean up, she was very grateful..and then I reported that the restroom needed to be cleaned up..I felt so bad for her and I also told her that it has happened to me and not to worry about it...

just the thought of using a public bathroom makes me really sick...the germs...the..I can't even talk about that part..but if that ever happened (and it never will) I probably wouldn't say anything..I wouldn't want anyone to know I went in there...

As the saying goes "HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY".. I will inform those person concerned of what happened because it will redound to clogging and nasty non-hygienic restroom that will affect restroom users.

I have never had that happen to me. But I do think that i would say something to someone. I might not let them know it was me but i would let them know about the toilet being clogged.Yes, I do agree with you that is nasty.
