First things first - American Idol. Matt? In the bottom three? And not Megan?? I was waiting for Ashton Kutcher to knock on my door and tell me I'm being punk'd. In the end I was finally right, Michael went home. He'll still get to tour so let us weep not for him.
Ok... I have a pet peeve. Bathroom stalls and how they are set up. First of all, the non-handicapped stalls are so narrow that if a farmer tried to raise a lamb in a space that size, PETA would have fits. And then they are so shallow you have to straddle the toilet to close the door behind you. So, you finally get turned around, and get your drawers dropped (another feet in that small of a space) and you sit down to do your business and what happens? Your hip and thigh get smooshed up into the toilet paper roll and the little Aunt Flo garbage. And then you're trying to reach under the toilet paper roll to get it and it keeps ripping off in one sheet at a time, and in doing so having to contort your body into shapes only your chiropractor loves. Not to get TOO graphic, but sometimes there's hardly room to spread your legs enough to... get things done. I HATE public toilets.

AMEN, Sister!!! I'm so with you on that one.
Is it my imagination, or have public toilets gotten smaller over the years?
My other pet peeves, are the ones where the toilet flushes before you get off of it, sometimes numerous times .... and those automated, motion detector, paper towel dispensers, that you have to wave your hand in front. Half the time they never seem to work and you stand in front of them like an idiot, frantically waving your dripping hands!
I hate public bathrooms. Period. Usually I will hold it 'til I'm ready to explode to avoid the whole thing altogether.
Not watching American Idol, but I do enjoy your reviews, even though I have no freakin' idea who you are talking about.
Thanks for the sweet comment today. I hope people don't think I'm being a whiner...
not to mention trying to squat so you dont have to touch the bacteria infested toilet
Remember the dance from trying to get you and the 4 year old in, get the door shut, and then switch places so you could both use the toilet?
Those toilets are the devil -- use Adam Sandler's mother's voice from The Waterboy for that sentence please. I hate, hate, hate those things. But...I guess it could be worse - they could think we want to community pee like the boys do. That whole concept goes way over my head - I just don't get it!
Now...about Megan. I really believe that since votefortheworst.com has selected her as their poster girl that you will be seeing her stay out of the bottom three for quite a few more weeks. Also...was it just me or was the Smoky/Joss duet sucky? Seriously, I had to check my ears for blood halfway through!!
So glad that Michael went home but I was highly upset that Megan wasn't in the bottom 3. WTF?!?!?
And I'm totally with you on the public toilet issue. And try adding in the 2 kids that are shopping with you and it's a miracle we get anything done at all.
oh so true. OR the automatic flushers that flush at the wrong time? worst ever was when one overflowed...I also hate the piece at a time paper...gahhhhhhhhh
I can't believe Megan didn't get bottomed out. Loved the Stevie concert!
The same 'engineer' who invented public btroom stalls designed parking lots . Doesn't he know there is not such thing as 'compact' anymore?
Speaking of public toilets, how about airplane bathrooms?? I'm seriously afraid that thing is going to suck me in..I'm 5'2" and maybe I have a little extra "junk in my trunk" but I am by no means heavy and I can barely fit in that thing...what do taller, heavier people do????
It's Fx4, Lizzie. You should have included a picture...
Public toilets are awful. I will do most anything to avoid them.
BTW - Did you see that you're a featured blog over there on the More from Blogher thingie?!
Funny...there's always been enough space at the urinal to do my business!
Its even worse when you're pregnant. Why do the doors have to open in? There's hardly room to open the door if you ARE a normal size, but much less if you've got the mommy belly (either with a baby in it or the post baby belly - right now I have both).
Obviously ladies' bathrooms were designed by a man.
Oh how I agree with everything in this post. My eye doctor's bathroom is so narrow, my knees literally touch the wall and you can see where the drywall had to be patched where someone's knees actually went THROUGH the wall!
I see Gina and I think alike....My first thought was when I have to take a grandchild to the bathroom and there is not enough room. I have started using the handicap one. I do not even aplolgize for it. It sits empty 9/10 of the time because there is never a handicap person in there to use it. I do get some looks when I walk out of one, but I DO NOT CARE!! As far as I am concerned, they are only suppose to be available in case a handicapped person needs to go. I do not see them as the exclusive property of said person. Any ways, I have a permament limp and I can make it better if the need arises.
I use the handicapped, if it's available. I use the excuse that I usually have a 4 year old boy with me, and no one wants to hear me yelling at him to STOP LEANING ON THE WALLS and STOP TOUCHING EVERYTHING!!! I also love the family bathroom a la Target. I can have Addison in the cart and we can all go in together. I wait for that one, if need be.
Otherwise, I hate public toilets.
OMG.....that was funny.....and you are soooo right! I need space to do my business.
OK, deep thoughts...what is the proper handicap stall etiquite? Are they merely handicap excessible and available for others to use as well or are they off limits like the parking spaces? For a mom with a toddler, the regular stalls WILL NOT WORK! I am trying to get in the stall with a 5 year old, not have him touch ANYTHING, do his business, zip him up and then change positions so I can go too. CRAZY!
