I used to work in a lot of commercial business buildings and I can't count how many times I've seen employees brushing their teeth usually after lunch to go to their next meeting or whatever they were doing next.

Thank you, Bonnie. You are right on!

Go for it, and enjoy yourself. You deserve a good time out as much as anyone. We all have our issues to deal with, as we age, and sometimes you just gotta do whatcha gotta do!!

Actually sinks are a cesspool of germs no matter what you're washing.

Okay, maybe I took this thread a little too personal. Please understand, it's a process for me and I don't want even ONE person to judge me negatively because of what I am having to do.

HEY! An inch can make a big difference. Just ask any... ah... um... probably better if I don't finish that!

HOWEVER . . . you'll excuse the comparison for disgusting things, there is nothing more gross than women who pee on a public toilet seat or men who miss the pot!

Gotta agree with that! They are too delicate to put their fanny on the seat but will leave their pee there for someone else to sit on. The epitome of gross.

I thought I was seeing an uptick in that (ladies) in the last few years, until I noticed that a lot of the automatic flush toilets splash water onto the seat. So now we need to remember to wipe the seat off after the flush. Oh, the never-ending problems women have with public restrooms!

I hate it when the auto flush toilets flush before I get up !!

I don't find people brushing their teeth in a public restroom disgusting. Many people do this at work after lunch.


The most disgusting thing I saw was a woman washing her underwear in the public restroom at work. Seriously? However, since she would never wash her hands after going to the bathroom, I guess this was a good thing??

I do not mind people brushing teeth in a restroom and I personally have flossed in a ladies room. Maybe some consider flossing in a restroom disgusting, but I think it's no one's business what I'm doing when I'm in there and I don't really want that much scrutiny when I go in a ladies room. I guess I could go in a stall but many times there is a long wait for a stall and I like to be considerate and not take one when it's not necessary, thus freeing it up for what it's really for. I'd like to think I become invisible upon entering a restroom and I accord the next woman with the same courtesy as I hope she gives me in all things. Some things just can't wait til you get home but don't need to be acknowledged afterwards by others either.

Unless you are wiping your hands on the sink bowl you have no reason to comment. Maybe she lies to brush her teeth after meals and likes fresh breath.Think you over reacted a bit to this one....
