How To Go To the Bathroom Effectively

This is my first attempt at a "how-to" hub and the feedback will determine whether or not I do more.

One of the most important things in our everyday lives is going to the bathroom. Amazingly, this is something that most people neglect and take for granted. So, I wrote this hub to help inform others on how to go to the bathroom effectively. (this applies to men and women)

When To Go Tinkle?
Well, normally you will feel a tickling sensation or pressure in your bladder area. This can range from a subtle nudging feeling to a downright burning, "OMG, it's time to go" feeling. The OMG feeling is usually present while drinking at bars. When you experience these feelings, it's time to navigate to the nearest bathroom. Be sure to find the appropriate bathroom with the designated sign for your specified sex. If you accidently go into the wrong bathroom, this could become very problematic. Be sure to understand how to identify your gender, I cannot stress this enough.

Enter the bathroom and then proceed to the toilet area (for women) or the urinal (for men).

Women:
Make sure to close the stall door, spread copious amounts of toilet paper on the top of the toilet seat, then proceed with urination. When finished, wipe accordingly, check toilet seat to make sure you didn't leave any stray "debris" and flush. Then exit the stall, and wash your hands in the sink. Please refrain from passing gas at any time in the bathroom. There could be another women in there with you who is jealous of your beauty and she may proceed to tell all the men around about your "gas" issues. Only pass gas on crowded dance floors or in a very loud area of the bar.

Men:
Follow the first steps above about gender identification and then proceed to the urinal. Please, pull out your "business", begin urinating and look straight ahead. Do not, no matter how tempted you are, look down at another man urinating next to you. No one likes a "Penis-Watcher" and that's a good way to lose teeth (pun intended). When finished, PLEASE WASH YOUR HANDS. I'm tired of hearing, "but my penis is cleaner than anything in this bathroom." That's just nasty and is not supported by any credible scientific evidence.

Also, I almost forgot, remember to look down to make sure that you haven't dripped any extra splashes on the front of your pants. Make sure to shake it accordingly before zipping up. Please exit the bathroom and rejoin your friends.

Number 2:
Well, women never do that, so I have no instructions for you. But for men, this is a different story. If you are going to have to go "Number-2" in public, please be discreet about it. No one likes a pooper who brags and shows off while in the stall. Everyone knows what you are doing, get over yourself. And please, do not make any loud moaning noises, this is not necessary unless you are over 65.

Summary:
Going to the bathroom should be an easy part of your everyday life. Please don't take it for granted and please wash your hands. Never forget, toilet seats have been proven to carry H.I.V., so always be careful. (I'm pretty sure that's a scientific fact.)

Did you find this hub informative?

  • Of course, I needed the help, thanks.
  • No, I'm a showoff and already know how to use the bathroom.
  • Do I really have to wash my hands??????

Although I thoroughly enjoyed your instruction I was left wanting for more information, like what to do if there is no urinal just a comode for a man to "pee". Why is there always a puddle of "pee" under a urinal? Is it O K to use the sink if there is no other opening? What to do when there is no toilet paper? All these need to be addressed. Thanks, Peter (no pun intended)

This is so funny I couldn't stop laughing- read it to my husband ! Are you doing all your how to's like this or are you doing some serious ones as well ?

When you say women don't do numer 2 s what do you mean ?

Women do number 2's in public - especially if they have a new live in boyfriend! After all, it's not polite or appropriate for him to know you go number 2 until years (possibly decades) into the relationship.

As for the instruction on passing gas? Brilliant! Women need to know that this is never acceptable unless you're somewhere where is can only be smelled, never heard. At least on a crowded dance floor, no one is sure that it was you.

Hysterical!

(getting up off the floor and wiping away tears from laughing so hard) ... your "how to" article is effective in detailing urination basics, although as others have pointed out, you left out some critical information that first-time bathroom users would find useful. Also think about incorporating numbered lists for those for whom this task is new and need a little extra coaching. Rated up, useful, and funny!

As far as 'how to' hubs are concerned, this is one of them.

I think you covered the whole aspect of this very well, in particular, the point about being sure to identify gender well in advance. This is a key point I think some of us gloss over all too often.

Very amusing. I laughed all the way through it. Except for the HIV thing. I do not believe you can catch that from a toilet seat. Nice try though.

Nice! I have a friend who doesn't wash her hands because "I didn't pee on my hands!" In fact, it would be better if you had as urine is sterile. Also, on the female side of things are the "hoverers" (Women who refuse to put their butts on the seat and instead "hover" over the seat which results in pee all over the seat) WIPE the freaking seat! That is all. Lol. Thanks for sharing this.
