Poll Public toilet etiquette

A few people seemed to disagree with a recent post i made venting my annoyance at someone who knocked loudly on the Sans Rizal toilet door after i had only been in there 30secs.
Maybe i was wrong so i ask for a vote on the proper procedure,
1. Try the door handle, if it is locked then someone is using the toilet, the door is broken or someone dead inside, whatever the result is you cannot use the toilet.
2.Try the door handle and it opens but someone is inside, this person is an idiot and should not be out on their own without a carer / arse wiper.
3. Knock on the door and no answer, wait............p*ss yourself and go home to change.

Please all vote on this or give your interpretation of the proper procedure.

 

Charley have you Forgotten where you are "Etiquette" ? Not in the Local Dictionary,
You were very Lucky to find a PT you actually wanted to use, even with a Door that closed and you could Lock.

 

I notice when traveling down town, most places where men, and sometimes woman, urinate do not have doors, only a wall in front of the person. In that case none of your door scenarios really have meaning. I do not think there is a 30 second rule that applies. I think the rule of thumb in these cases is to step away to you left or right when your toes start feeling moisture from you neighbor's activities or lack of urination aim control. Spacing seems to be more important that privacy when you have your back facing the public right of way.

 

I notice in the CR at my gym a lot of guys overestimate their lizard and cause a puddle in front of the toilet. I guess that is why my dog always checks out my shoes when I get home.

 

Here is what I notice about men's toilet etiquette.
1. Look for a wall and p*ss on it. If there are any other guys then stand beside them and p*ss with them while laughing at their small size.
2. If no walls then go to a public toilet. If urinals and no one else in the room then use them.
3. If anyone else is in the public CR then do not use the urinals as someone may see you, so go in a stall, do not lift up seat, p*ss on everything except in the middle because if people hear you pee splashing in the water they will know what you are doing.
4. Leave the mess for someone else to clean up, why would you care, you are done now.

 

I agree, but I am against being tapped on the back when peeing on a wall. The surprise may cause a quick spinning around which can then cause an etiquette issue in any culture.

 

I have to agree. I'd much rather a knock on the door myself. I dislike the jiggling of the handle because most do it with some level of force unconsciously foreigner and local alike assuming it would just open and causing a quick panic of *did I remember to lock it* along with *does the lock actually work this time*. I've also seen plenty of cases where people lock the cr as they are leaving so its not really a guarantee that its in use or not in use. A polite knock though seems the right way to go as long as they aren't banging on the door and that isn't really a knock now is it.

You may also prefer the method of people looking over the door to see if its in use or those looking under the door as many of the more public cr's for guys have one of those short half doors where a taller woman walking past could see everything. Fortunately though finding 6' feet tall Filipina's seem very rare to come by. Or it could be even worse where one of the Ceres p*ss stops was pretty much a concrete/wood shack with 2 cr's for women with doors and the men had a p*ss trough at the back of the building which really offered no protection. If coming down the road you could see a guy facing the road with his willy out if he didn't center himself behind the shed. Great image for the kids I suppose for some....

 

This may solve the problem.

 

They have that on the stalls in Robinsons public crs. Most broken, no maintenance, no replacement. I have seen kids solve the problem. They just peak under the door.
