When Public Restroom Comes To Necessity...

Public restroom is one of vital facilities that must be built in public buildings, such as office tower, shopping mall, restaurant, game arcade, and else. Why public restroom is a must? Have you ever imagined when there's not any public restroom in your city mall? Or when people don't find toilets in your school. They will take longer time to home, just for peeing. Or at least, the disgusting one is peeing at the fountain of your city mall *yucks!*

But public restroom should have several requirements that provide proper quality. I've had some experiences about public restroom, the good ones and the terrific ones! Why do I mention it terrific? Because sometimes, public restroom is even worse than your house's storage! But actually, I'm not about to talk about the public restroom itself. I'm going to tell you about my experience in using public restroom service. These points are what comes into my mind:
  • The sanitary of public restroom now comes to necessity. However, people will not use the public toilet when the toilet overflows. Or at least, the last user doesn't flush it. That's very disgusting. Some people pee but they don't flush the toilet. You don't deserve urine, guys! So better check the toilet first before you pee.
  • Make sure that the water tank is full! At least, it provides you enough tissue to cleanup. In Indonesia, toilets are mostly of typical wet toilet, in which the floor will be wet when someone uses it. So make sure that there's enough water to cleanup. When there's not adequate water, then how will you flush the toilet?
But what has happened to me, well, just take a look at these points:
  • One day, I immediately used the toilet. I didn't check the water tank and unfortunately the tank ran out of water! I was very shocked. How could I flush the toilet and cleanup? Fortunately, I brought tissues for cleanup. Since that day, I always check the water first.
  • It was an amusement park, where thousands people visit it every day. I needed to go to the restroom and I found one there. The sanitary was very horrible. There was a cigarette butt on the toilet, and the last person using it must haven't flushed it. Yucks! It was so disgusting.
  • The last one would be kind of awkward and scary. My friends and I were visiting a shopping arcade in downtown. I needed to go to the restroom so I immediately ran to the nearby restroom. There are two toilet cubicles there, and the rest are standing urinals. I found an empty cubicle but the water overflowed from the next cubicle. Finding it quite disgusting, I moved to standing urinal and peed there. Somebody came out from a cubicle and used a standing urinal in my opposite. When I washed my hand, that guy sighed in lust. I knew what he was doing. He kept saying "F*ck! F*ck!" while sighing loudly and passionately. Another guy came out from the same cubicle, and I didn't need another second to conclude that both the guys are gays and quickly ran from the restroom! I must have been idiot, entering the wrong restroom!
The last experience happened in a shopping arcade in Bandung downtown. I cannot mention it explicitly, due to reputation matters. I just hope you guys will be much careful in using public facilities like restroom.
