A Note From a Random New Mexico Gas Station

2009 June 16

Apparently their definition of ‘clean’ is not MY definition of ‘clean’.

toilet

dirty-toilet

The outhouse I used camping was more sanitary than this.

    That restroom is not fit for a junkie to die in. I’d hate to see exactly what the ‘wash penguin’ disapproves of!

    You can’t tell me that all public restrooms is Spain are clean enough to do drugs in. And the penguin? No idea.

    I think they left out some punctuation. Shouldn’t it be ‘Clean cashier; friendly restrooms?’

    I can promise you that along with the NOT clean restroom (although I can only be sure about the Ladies as I didn’t venture in the Mens Room), this particular cashier wasn’t all that jazzed about being at work… so not so friendly.

    Yeah, clearly only the cashier is guaranteed to be clean. Restrooms are just available (and perhaps friendly . . .)

    Um, not so much. As least nothing was alive in the restroom. I went to Costa Rica a few years ago and found a gray lizard with maroon eyes hanging out in the toilet bowl. Use of public restrooms in the only time I envy men and their “abilities”.

    I was going to add what travelrat and delianeal pointed out. However, if the cashier washes his/her hands in the friendly bathroom, s/he is likely not clean either.

    Ugh. That’s true, which is why I never ever touch a public restroom door with my hands nor touch a cashier’s hands. Pay for everything at the pump.

    Nasty! I guess you forgot that the lizard in the CR bathroom was not a public one, but actually where I lived!!! Ew.

    Actually, I believe the lizard was in the hotel in Limon. You remember… we had a flat tire in the middle of that banana plantation and a snake slithered by. The beds had actual bed bugs so I think dad slept in the hammock outside.

    You believed that sign? Never believe a gas station sign that says the restrooms are clean.

    Oh heavens no. I just thought it was funny… clean bathrooms. Pfffsh. Whatever. Have you ever used a clean bathroom along I-40? I didn’t think so.

    Yeah, with a bathroom that dirty, I don’t think the “hover method” would even be advisable….
    ewwwww

    No. The best method in this type of situation is pulling off to the side of the road, squatting and hoping to hide in the tall grass.

    Bwaahaahaaa! And that brings up a lovely image of you dashing into the bushes, toilet paper in hand, trailing in the wind behind you like one big white streamer….

    That sign says that the cashier is clean…but that doesn’t look like a friendly restroom.

    Ye gods, I’m having flashbacks to “Trainspotting.”

    Sorry to play the blond girl, but I have no clue what “Trainspotting” even means.

    tell me you didn’t use this bathroom and you drove down the road.

    Uh, no. Didn’t use that toilet. Believe me… I know how to hold it and can do so for severely long periods of time. I’m like a camel.
