OK...had to get in on this one. Restrooms...in my area, usually the grocery stores have the dirtiest ones...YUCK ! And why should that be? ??? I like going to Walmarts for that reason, there are two restrooms and I always take the Handicap stall so I have plenty of room and since I pick the restroom in the back part of the store, it is less used and I don't have to fret that I might be creating a problem for someone who needs wheelchair access. I just admit, however, that one day I was in a stall and a very elderly lady came in and put out such a pee with gusto...well, I was jealous. And I agree, the gas stations usually are in decent condition.
As for the spaces where someone can see in...well, first off it is rude if they are staring but hey let em have a look if they want to get educated...I guess after standing outside a major hospital in Seattle a couple of months back with no hair, no make up, no bra, no underpants, only a thin jumper and T-shirt on, wearing flip flops and my bag of urine next to me....well, after that, I frankly have no sense of embarrasement left. I would even show off my lovely stoma, "RoseBud" if anyone wanted to see. Just for fun one day, I stopped on the way home from shopping, along side a country road and whip open both car doors on the road side and stood there emptying just for the experience of it. Cathng in the great outdoors is good as long as the insects leave me alone. For some reason, maybe it is the weight loss of 17 lbs. but it is now very difficult for me to empty sitting down so I stand...I just wish I could pee with more force...would be more fun and that way we gals could write our names in the snow come winter time.
