Swoosh!

I enjoy having this site as my platform to inform the world of my crazy thought processes and to make the rest of you feel a little more normal. So I've decided to share one of my frequent irritants. I have this thing w/public restrooms. Don't like em. Hate to use them...but what are you going to do? I can't stand the idea of sitting where other bare butts have gone before. It's just so gross. So I'm a squatter, but since being prenant, I'm forced to sit. So I layer and layer till I feel it is reasonably safe to sit. Still. I'm grossed out. But really the worst part is yet to come. Have you ever noticed when you go to flush those high powered toilets...the wave of water...it's like niagra falls. There is no escaping the splashing that is making it's way out of the toilet onto ME!!! The doors are so stinking close that you cannot get away from it. (And having a huge belly gives me even less room to maneuver around.) So I've figured out that if I get everything back in it's place first & then open the door, I can usually hit the lever w/my foot, giving me a pretty good push off to back me out of the stall before the splash can get me. Yes, to an onlooker this may look crazy, but I won't be the one leaving w/pee water on me now will I? So there you have it. Just a little something to think about the next time YOU are faced w/a high pressure flushing toilet! Good luck!
