Have you ever noticed how public washrooms in Bahrain ALWAYS seem like they’ve been hit by the tsunami!
I've never gone to a public washroom and not regretted going there, it's always ALWAYS an experience you will live to regret and i always say I'm gonna hold it in until I get back home but sometimes you just can't!! I have some friends that are welling to develop kidney stones rather than going to a public restroom, which is completely understandable. Lol!
And I'm talking here about the ladies' room of course, I don't really visit the men's room but I think they're somewhat dirtier :P I've heard from a lot of sources that guys tend to forget washing their hands even the most sophisticated classy guys out there are guilty of it! I guess I'll start thinking twice before I shake a guys hand :P
Back to the ladies room, we rarely even use the toilet we just go there to retouch our makeup and gossip, 90% of the time girls are in the washroom they're actually fixing their makeup. Trust me! I'm guilty of that myself :P
Busy women's restrooms are like 'gossip central': "Did you, like, see what she was wearing is she serious! ? Oh my God! I couldn't believe it.... she's like a fashion disaster".
It's good etiquette not to block others from the sink while retouching your makeup. I mean, I do this sometimes.. without realizing!..
Girls tend to socialize in restrooms and somehow that’s acceptable, they talk, gossip stuff like that. HOWEVER men are not allowed to socialize especially when they're using the urinal! You can't socialize while using the urinal you just can't! you can't go like " HEY! shakhbar, nice weather today" dude! You're not here to socialize! leave the guy alone! You can't sing, you can't whistle, you can't peek, AND YOU defiantly can't touch!
Actually I don't understand the whole urinal thing! I mean it's so weird and so not private! How can you "GO" when someone is next to you, is there a rule like.. heheehe leaving space between one urinal and the other! I don't know.. I just don't understand! What about aiming! :P hehehe ok lets just not talk about that.. I guess you master that with practice! What about people who wear thoob! I guess that's just something I will never understand. I mean I have a friend who wouldn't go to the restroom if there is someone near here in the next cubicle! So it's very surprising to me that men can actually do that!
FLUSHING! I can't even stress on how much this bothers me, I don't understand why people don't flush? Is it too exhausting? They invented this human waste disposer so that no one gets to see what you, yourself don't want to see. It's really disgusting.
I find it really disgusting when I walk into a washroom and there is wet toilet paper on the floor, water all over the place, kids running around, liquid soup spelled on the sink and don't get me started on the smell, why can't people be clean when they go to a public washroom, I know for a fact that they will never do that in their own washroom. I just find this completely rude and disgusting.
At the end of the day our prophet Mohammed said (้الله نظيف يحب النظافة ) and since we were in kindergarten we've always been told that النظافة من الإيمان" "
As Muslims we should always be clean and set an example for others because it's a part of our religion, but, why does it seem to me that it's not the case here?
Bottom line is unless you're using a toilet in a 5 star hotel in Bahrain, trust me, it's an experience you will regret for the rest of your life.
