Restrooms at NRC

[TheDude]

Just wondering are, if any, rules for non residents and workers around TV using the restrooms at the NRCs?

I am asking because today around 1pm I noticed the driver of a van with the logo stating 'EcoPro' then below that 'a subdivision of Deans' pulled into a NRC. I watched the driver go into the pool area and he seemed to be in the bathroom at least 10 minutes. His co-worker sat in the van waiting.

I took a picture of the truck just to do. I purposely did not name the location (but it was east of Brownwood).

I understand the 'everyone is human' argument. My question is that those restrooms aren't truck stop restrooms and in a way it doesn't seem very safe, and also, if someone else is at the pool, then they have to wait for a person who doesn't pay the Amenities Fees to do there thing. And, when does it become too much? So then I am thinking, do we have security at the NRCs?

Okay. I blew it up. But I do not believe that this a one a done thing, I think it is something someone would have to know they have access to use.

What does everyone think?

workers have to go some place , better than your home, when I worked as a serviceman ,I would go the the town hall.

[Chi-Town]

Dude, keep a log of unusual happenings for your first year here. With pictures. By the second year you'll have seen it all.

Our pool at Hadley always has a commercial truck or two parked going potty. It's just how they do it here.

[TheDude]

no good question is a dumb question...

:)

I'm learning here.

[JoMar]

The contractors here do a great job of keeping this place working well and looking great. When you see the trucks you will find that 99% are always in TV doing something. I'm ok letting them take a nature break.....besides, how many of us have stopped at a McDonalds to use the potty and didn't buy anything. What? I'm the only one? lol.

Where would you like them to go?

Too many houses being built to fund the pockets of the developers! That means more and more workers and I am moving!
Too crowded!

Also keeps a LOT of people in WORK.

[skip0358]

It is a restroom. Where would you like them to go ? Would you like it better if he pulled over to the side and went in the bushes ?
A Restaurant would probably not like them using theirs. The only other Public Restrooms are located in the Town Squares. So as a said where would you like them to go ??

Don't forget to turn off the light.

[TheDude]

I expected some 'attacks'.

Okay...
Where would I like them to go? My answer is one of the staffed centers like the village centers. And there are many of them, much nicer IMHO, and much safer for everyone involved.
Would I like them to go on the side of the road? Really?

There is not one person reading these forums who would like someone going to their house and taking a 10-15 minute dump. Be real. Even if they cleaned up after themselves. For the people who live here, you pay for the upkeep, and thinking like this, well next thing you know they will lock the 'honor system' sporting equipment.

If someone gets robbed, or hurt, or has something stolen because all TV pools are free game... well...

I'm wondering if stuff like this is the reason Rohan had locked doors to the recreational equipment Saturday at 3pm.

[Chi-Town]

Dude, just make the list. After a year give us a recap. You're way too anxious this early on.

The builders have setup porta potties for their construction workers as required by the health department. As a neighborhood is built out they move to another neighborhood where houses are to be built. Occasionally, a sub-contractor might use a recreation facility but as far as I know this has not been abused. On the other hand, I don't "hang" around to watch this particular activity.

[alwann]

While I agree with some opinions posted by both the nays and yeas, what's the official position/ What does Community Watch say? Has anyone asked?

Then that is the correct decision for you if you feel that way.

[billlaur]

ADIOS:pepper2:

[redwitch]

The problem with going into the rec centers is that workers are frequently dirty, at least their shoes are. So, the simple answer is, yes, they are allowed to use the pool and golf course restrooms, but not the rec centers themselves.

OK, Settle down everyone. The Villages has an agreement that allows individuals to use the swimming pool restrooms.

I have read some of the negative comments posted here and quite honestly you should be ashamed.

How about if you found yourself in a situation that you just " Had " to go...and we have all been there. We give our contractors a choice before they start...Pool or Our Restroom ...98% of the time they choose to go somewhere else.

This not a big deal.

[pauld315]

You could always install the coin receptors on the toilet doors like they used to do at airports back in the day. That would defray the cost of the toilet paper they are using!:laugh:

Please link this. And I am sure you meant 'use'... no word police here; just to be clear.

I'm so calm btw, and no call to arms... just a discussion at which some take personal. Seems the older we get the more discussions become arguments and they need not be bitter.

Please link your findings if they do exist, and if so, you have something I don't (and I have been wrong often) and I want to learn something. Facts for the win.

And my post wasn't about the random person who had to go though I may not have expressed myself very well. And you know, I can't explain it any better so I hope some can read through everything.

My post isn't about our mailbox restrooms being used for emergencies, it about OUR bathrooms being used as truck stop restrooms.

Boom! Well, there you have it folks; another one wanting to move. That means less traffic on the roads, less people at the restaurants, more tee times available. Buh-bye!!!

These construction workers are human beings, just like us. They just don't act like the privileged/entitled, like some here do. They mow most of your yards, they trim your trees and landscaping - they do the work you don't want to do.

Cut them some slack, they have to go to the bathroom somewhere.

[Mleeja]

While I agree with some opinions posted by both the nays and yeas, what's the official position/ What does Community Watch say? Has anyone asked?

Not to long ago I was picking up some guest ID's at Savannah Center. Some landscapers came in to use the restrooms. The person working the desk stopped them and told them it was ok to use the restrooms, but use the ones located at the sports pool.

[ColdNoMore]

I'm shaking my head at some of these responses.

There are probably well over 100 landscapers/grass cutters in TV every single day, with no restrooms nearby...and people want to complain about them using the ones at the pools?

I've also seen a lot of them using the restrooms on the courses, that are near roads...should they also be off limits?

C'mon folks, have we really reached that point as a community? :ohdear:

[Madelaine Amee]

That is certainly an odd way of looking at the growth of The Villages. You really think they just build houses to fund their wealth ............... if people did not want to buy the homes there would be no homes and no more wealth. It's a market driven business and I wish we had thought of it first;)

The rest rooms are usually vacant 'cause the residents just pee in the pool. You know I'm right..........

I've seen contractors parked and using the pool restroom, and like you, I never gave it a second thought. Just another "shaking my head" moment on ToTv.

To answer your question: I stand corrected on an Agreement with regards that contractors are allowed to use the Swimming Pool Restrooms.

However I was only wrong on the Agreement part. There is no Agreement only because there is no need to have one.

So for your information and all of those who are so, " Concerned " can take this to the bank.

The Swimming Pool Restrooms are considered " Public Restrooms " and therefore are accessible to Everyone, yes Everyone.

Now here is the Telephone number ( 352-753-4022 ) that you and everyone else who happens to find that " Contractors " do not have a right to use the Restroom Facilities. Well that is just too bad, simply because they have every right to.

So put your trusty camera and notebook away..and have a bit more compassion for who those are trying to scratch out a living for themselves and their families.

Who knows it may make you feel better.

Oh and here is the telephone number again. ( 352-753-4022 ). :plane:

Actually you are wrong. Use of Rec Center restrooms for contractors is at the discretion of each center. Typically when the occasion arises the person(s) are directed to the swimming pool. :spoken:

...but those are the pool rules. Aren't there gates beyond the restrooms that enter onto the pool deck? The rules about having the ID card are for entering through the gates.

The restrooms and drinking fountain are outside the gates and therefore are public.

I often see trucks such as tree trimmers, lawn service, and even garbage trucks stopped along Talley Ridge by the 7th green on Fox Run to use the restroom. So what? These people have jobs. They are providing services for us. We can at least provide a bathroom at a rec centre or golf course.

I am not going to waste anymore time with people like yourself. I posted the information and you completely ignored it.

Telephone D P M.. ( 352-753-4022 ) and they will set you straight on the real problem that you have with Contractors using the Swimming Pool Restrooms.

The photo that you posted is meaningless the Swimming Pool Restrooms .....Are... PUBLIC RESTROOMS.. Period !

The above telephone number is available 8:00 til 5:00 M-F, and you will be able to voice your concerns or grievance to that person(s).

As well as the restroom between the 8th and 9th holes on Tally Ho :-), but you are 100% on in your assessment! I also see trucks stop and use the restrooms on the 5th hole at El Santiago all the time.

Give the guys a break!!!

Discussions seem to upset some. There is no argument. We are all on the same team. Its banter, talk... give and take.. playful and friendly. No phone calls. Seriously.

And no, swimming pool restrooms are not public. Heck, TV isn't public, we are a gated community.

Shouldn't this be brought up or are some things verboten?

I don't see anyone in these posts telling anyone not to do it. Just pointing out something. Just questioning. Glad we aren't talking politics.

[Mleeja]

But there is no one there checking ID's. You open the gate and walkin. At many of the pools there are shuffleboard, bocce ball and pickleball courts. These folks would walkin and use the same restrooms. Remind me 6 pages later, what is the OP's main problem with "outsiders" using the restrooms?

[TheDude]

okay. So it came across hard, but they were only questions to see what people think, and the few of the 100,000 people in TV think it is okay.

I'm sensing something else going on here.

In your original post you mentioned that the person..."seemed to be in the bathroom at least 10 minutes" and then you also said "those restrooms aren't truck stop restrooms and in a way it doesn't seem very safe."

In the post above, you say.... "it about OUR bathrooms.

So I'm wondering, what is it really about that "THEY" are using "OUR" restrooms, the amount of time they took...and why would you think that it is "unsafe?" :confused:

I agree. I do actually think that the pool bathrooms are not open for everyone. I do believe that and will not back down. I also believe that every car entering TV should have a pass or their license plate photographed. And I believe that in Eisenhower they have the right to check IDs and that Villagers come first in Aerobics class.

OK, OK, so the workers have to go someplace but, one morning at the Dunedin pool a lawn maintenance worker came out of the women's restroom after a very long time. His buddy was still in the men's.

[skip0358]

I really can't believe all the P & M about this topic. I worked in an outside job my whole time working and believe me when you have to go you have to go regardless of where it is. A Bathroom is a Bathroom. If it's a Department store, Gas Station, Food establishment etc. if the Public is allowed in the Building the Bathroom is part of the Building. I have NEVER in my lifetime seen a sign that said you CAN NOT USE THIS BATHROOM unless it was out of order Period. No place should be able to refuse you to use a Bathroom period. Get over it, these people ALL bust there butts for us and we're going to tell them you can't use a Bathroom. If it upsets you that much MOVE !

It's not a maintenance worker thing.
It's not a blue-collar thing.
It's not a guy thing.

Many a time I see ladies coming out of men's rr's because the ladies' has a long line.

I have seen plenty of signs at restaurants or bars saying their restrooms are for patrons only - but that is not what this thread is about.

I also remember signs saying who cannot use a public bathroom- but that was in 1963 in South Carolina.
