11 Gross things That Happen In Girls' Public Bathrooms

And they say boys are gross.

Bathrooms have been around since early civilization and have continued to grow and improve over the centuries. What has not changed, however, is how absolutely gross public restrooms are - especially the girls' bathrooms. There is nothing more devastating than having a tiny bladder and being a continuously thirsty, water dependent girl in the 21st century bathrooms. As young as elementary school, we have had to face horrors men could never understand. Through middle school we have had to learn how to wash blood off our clothes and yet some girls - even in a working office - still can't wipe the seat. Gross! If only that were the grossest thing girls and women face in public restrooms. For example:

1. Toilet Paper ... Everywhere.

And they are not always dry or on the floor.

2. Toilet Paper Seat... used.

Okay, covering the toilet seat to take a quick piss is totally understandable - encouraged even! But leaving it there after using it is just disgusting!

3. Period Trails

I am a girl too, and I know taking care of that tampon or pad is so not fun or clean in any sense of the word - but is it really so hard to just clean up after yourself? This is not your house, please have some respect and human decency.

4. Pad Flyers

This is just plain childish and stupid. Why, why, would you waste expensive pads by plastering them onto the stall walls and/or doors? Really?

5. Used razors

Just throw them away.

6. Used Razors... with hair.

*Barfs in mouth* that is just wrong, chick. Throw it away please

7. Toilets Unflushed... still filled with blood.

Were you raised in the wild?

8. Skid Marks

I get that you don't have that handly toilet brush with you, but we would not fault you flushing 5 times to make sure that the sh*t - excuse me - skid mark is gone. It's gross on all sides.

9. Not spraying after ending your business.

No one wants to know that that splash we just heard was a juicy turd. Please mind our noses?

10. Bringing your business into shared space.

We all get horny. Find a car or go home. Banging in a public multi-stalled bathroom is just plain rude. Get off somewhere else, girlie.

11. Lipstick writing

No one wants to clean that up. And do you really want to use that tube on your lips after smearing it in a cespool of bacteria? And why waste such a beautiful (and costly) shade?

and Bonus:

12. Sink clogging

Why, exactly, did you need to put an entire roll of paper in the sink? And the hair! Bathrooms are for peeing, pooping and hand cleaning. Take your grooming elsewhere, I beg of you.

After all the years saying boys are far more disgusting than girls, I have come to not believe it. After all, they don't bleed murder and leave it behind in a bathroom stall every 28 days, do they?

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
