Unsanitary situations in WDW

[RScottyL]

My biggest pet peeve (this applies anywhere not just at WDW but the behavior seems to be an especially rampant there) is when males use the bathroom stalls instead of the urinals to pee and do not lift up the seat?

EXACTLY!

I always lift up the seat if I need to go into a stall and not use the urinal if they are too overcrowded!

They need to put spring loaded toilet seats in the men's bathroom, so that it will always stay in the "UP" position!

If you need to use it, then you hold it down and sit on it and your weight keeps it down!

Being a male for many years, that has always bewildered me. I have seen that happen, but, the biggest thing I have seen is the fact that men, for some unexplained reason, never seem to be able to flush a toilet. Not much of a problem with self flush toilets. However, like most males they tend to stand further away then their equipment needs for optimum success, so the sensors probably don't even pick up on anyone being there.

Hey, it's time we all grow up. It's my job to force maturity.

A sign I saw in a bathroom...

Gentlemen...please stand closer to the toilet. It's not as long as you think!
Ladies...please remain seated for the entire performance!

I thought it was clever and funny.

Still, by far, Disney still has he best restrooms around. I have only found one cleaner.

One bathroom It happens to be in a McDonalds near where I play paintball.

But if I wanted a cleaner, it would be borax from rubbed in grime. Bleach for everything else. Then a scalding hot pressure wash.

One hint heard from a TV newscaster that I have not seen mentioned. Do not rub your eyes or touch them with your hands as the tissues around the eye provide an easy pathway for germs to enter your body.
Other than that your body is pretty well protected as long as you wash your hands before eating and after using the toilet.

You know how bad the water smells on Splash....you will be wearing it the rest of the day!

I made my whole boat crack up laughing at me because I sat in the front row and was laughing going down one of the smaller hills and freaked out because the water splashed in my mouth, disgustinggggggggg!

 

[kels650]

THIS. I've witnessed this a few times. Also this seems common at Cosmic Ray's and at the food court in POFQ.

If someone is comfortable enough to change a diaper on a table where people are eating in a busy public area.... I can only imagine what they must do at home behind closed doors.

I don't understand why they don't just close the door when they are sitting in a stall. I've waked in on quite a few people because of this.

I have little fear of germs. But the great, unwashed masses manhandling things day in and day out at a place like WDW can be a little skeevy. I simply say, enjoy your time there and don't worry about it too much - or it'll drive you mad. Wash your hands regularly, and especially before eating. Do not touch your eyes, nose or mouth otherwise.

As for nasty conditions, hell - look at what the Maelstrom queue ceiling looked like before they painted it all black (to match the mold)!

Modesty isn't an old thing. We, in our society, decided that body functions are evil and have done everything we possibly can to make like they don't exist. Everything from doors that lock to aerosol spray to make like it really is a flower garden and not a "new fangled" privy. Some just don't have the same concern over stuff like that as others. Probably a genetic fall back into more primitive times.

If you were ever in the service, back in the day, you would know how "open" everything was in many situations. Open room showers with about 10 shower heads in the same room. Rows of toilets along a wall and trough urinals. In the words of Uncle Orville... "No privacy attol!"

My concern is not modesty but rather when the door is open I think its empty

My second biggest pet peeve is when someone puts the seat tissue on the toilet seat and then doesn't knock it into the toilet after they're down. Yes, you're germophobic. But you're desire not to have your bare buns directly touch the seat is exceeded by my desire not to touch something stained with your butt sweat.

My BIGGEST pet peeve is when someone uses the stall after that person and proceeds to pee all over that tissue on the seat. Dude, what the...? DUDE. No.

C'mon. We aaaalll have at least one problem at Disney with something that seems a little unsanitary.

I for one have a few pet peeves... Obviously my main problem is usually sinks and paper towel dispensers that havent ever been upgraded in the bathrooms.. Like, I can't stand a lever or button sink. I need paper towels or something, otherwise I'll wait for another bathroom xP Just a weird thing I hate.

One other thing is that I always wonder when was the last time the handles on Mission: Space were cleaned.. You can definitely tell the paint has been starting to wear off and you can see the scratches on the buttons now..

Well if you want to really worry about germs, consider the little stylus on check out counters that you sometimes have to use to sign when you swipe your credit card. That little stylus has most likely never been cleaned since the day it was installed. Folks with clean hands use it, and folks that don't even bother to wash after going to the bathroom use it... and when you use it, be it in Disneyland or any of the stores nearby you're getting exposed to every germ that it has ever known.... Now when you consider that, does an old paper towel dispenser really seem all that bad? At least the people that are touching it had the decency to wash their hands prior to touching it.

Does Purell kill Ebola?

Apparently Ebola is the Chuck Norris of viruses... even though it isn't supposed to live outside of bodily fluids it seems to have managed to sneak past all the security to infect the nurse in a Spanish hospital treating the sick priest, it seems to have managed to swim from Africa to Macedonia to infect some British dude that has never set foot in Africa... All in All I would have to think the Ebola Virus gargles Purell and spits Clorox.

If you really want to get grossed out, bring an LED blacklight flashlight. It will make you disgusted.

My wife has done that before... They work, but you really don't want to use them because you'll never feel clean again when you travel.

After a night of bad Mexican food I can assure you some body functions are best thought of as evil and kept as private as possible... In those times the lack of a door to the bathroom might result in many divorces in this country.
