Dribbles

12 years ago

For obvious reasons, many of you have never had the opportunity to enter a mens restroom. Granted, you are wearing shoes, but why is it necessary to usually be standing in "puddles" on the floor? Grabbing that little thing, aiming it, and hitting, that big white bowl must be more of a challenge than we think. Do the "boys" at home have this problem too? Let's hear from all you clean-up artists with mop in hand.

Ahahahaaa!!! Old Fixer, my hubby is so near and dear to my heart. He SITS when he goes, and nothing ever sprays/splashes all over the place. Yaaayyyy!!!

On the other hand, I clean at a Legion twice per month and the men's toilet and urinals are smelly, and stinky with stains. It splashes from the urinals onto the walls and dribbles over the front. Peeeyewwww

Guess, you haven't been in a "ladies" room? It's amazing how messy they are. Puddles, not flushed, tp on the floor! NASTY!

Nothing like wearing your breakfast, lunch and dinner I always say. I've been wearing my top wrong side out all day. Why? Because it is covered with little sparkly thingys and Sassi kept trying to eat them, so I just turned it inside out. Works for me. I always spill food on my clothes, I've often thought about starting a business of Fancy, smancy adult bibs for just that occasion. Just imagine a night out at a fancy restaurant, ordering your favorite feast and when it arrives, out comes your bib. We all do it Agnes, spill on, you're in good company.

My cat is dribbling

Glad that he's not crying any more. Looks more and more like FLUTD, so being patient is a good plan. Like I mentioned before the flareups usually go away with or without treatment, so doing whatever it takes to make him comfortable is all you can do. The use of amitriptyline is a hot debate topic among vets- some swear by it, others think it's useless or even harmful (considering that it may cause faster relapse when used continuously). Decreasing stress in a cat's life is easier said than done in most cases. Unless there was an obvious life-altering change such as moving, new person or pet in house, absence of person or pet, etc. it is hard to control. Amitriptyline may help control stress (it is after all an antidepressant), so some vets use it long term for that. The unfortunate fact of the matter is that we don't know what causes FLUTD and we don't really know how to fix it. Any time a single disease has a ton of treatment options, you can guess that we are really just shooting in the dark. Amitriptyline is just a good an option as any as long as the cat is comfortable. A UTI would have been easier, but that looks less likely given the culture is still negative, and it's rare in otherwise healthy male cats anyway (certain diseases such as renal disease and diabetes make UTIs more likely). I hope he continues to improve.

teapot dribbles when I pour????
Q
Comments (10)
Water runs downhill (and tea does, as well). As you tip the pot, some of the liquid comes rushing out ... and takes off into space, headed for your cup (or mug). Some at the bottom, however, flowing more slowly due to friction on the wall of the spout, tends to follow the wall, which changes at the tip of the spout into the outside of the spout ... and drops down instead of flying out in the stream. Can you position the spout so that the drip will fall into the cup also? Or does it follow down the outside of the spout, then fall when it gets to the place where the spout starts uphill near where it joins the pot? If you watch the spout as you're pouring, I think that you'll find that the outside of the spout continues to go down, instead of turning back up. If it were to turn back up, I imagine that the drips would drop off, instead of following the outside of the spout down to the bulge just before it joins the pot. Have you tried holding a spoon so that the stream flows down the spoon? Is it possible to hold it across the bottom of the tip of the spout, so that liquid following around the tip of the spout will slide down the shaft of the spoon instead? Good wishes for avoiding drips of all kinds! ole joyful

Kohler Simplice bar faucet “dribbles” off--is this normal?
Q
Comments (5)
This is actually a fairly common problem with gooseneck faucets. When you shut the faucet off, the water in the down side of the gooseneck falls out of the spout due to gravity and in the process creates a temporary vacuum in the spout that draws a little water from the upside of the spout. This is the dribble. Some goosenecks have the problem, some don't. It appears to be an effect of the angle of the gooseneck and the diameter of the spout. If it occurs, it is a design flaw and cannot be fixed.

The 'ladies' who sprinkle on the seat because they don't want to sit down and then leave their mark for the next person are pretty nasty too.

I used the men's room at Bloomingdale's once. It was disgusting.

There was long line to the ladies, and no one in the men's, so I used it. I did ask some lady to watch the door.

Ya know that little rug that lays down in front of the 'bowl'....it's wet just a couple of days after being put there. Who???ME???? The older these boys, the less they pay attention. It gets washed and sits in the laundry room waiting until cleaning day... but then I notice a hand towel in the hamper a few times..... at least my feet don't get wet! I sure liked having my own bathroom.... now we share (because we need handles to help us up) and DS (our housekeeper) uses and keeps the front bath sparkling.(Don't tell anyone I shared this!!!!)

(PS..you are bad, bad, bad.... making us tattle on our old
boys)

I grew up in a family with four boys and peeing all over the place was NOT allowed. As a matter of fact, cleanng the bathrooms was one of their chores. I've never been around boys or men who missed the mark.

UNTIL some very dear friends came to visit my first husband and I after we moved from VA to SC. We all had to share a bathroom and the first time I stepped into his mess with my bare feet, I stopped loving that man as a dear friend!

I put a roll of paper towels in the bathroom and they were used, I suspect by his wife and not him.

I have zero tolerance for that kind of nastiness and utter disrespect for others. I still remember my dad giving my little brother aiming lessons, lol.

Bless my husband's heart, he has never once left a mess for me to clean up.

When we had a gas station along the interstate in FL, the men's room was usually cleaner than the ladies' room. I've cleaned up messes in the ladies' room that NO ONE should have had to deal up. Anyone who makes a mess like some I dealt with, should have at least attempted to clean it up themselves. So gross.

Paw Paw Patch where I frequent for good southern cooking, I have learned NOT to sit at a certain table.

It faces the corridor that you seen right into the men's restrroom.

Have informed owners, but they say health restrictions require them to open the door a certain way, thus you see all. Sigh

Many places/functions also have the Port-A-Pots to conveniently serve your needs. While not always the most pleasant place to visit, some people seem to feel a need to make it even more disgusting.

Some years ago, following my divorce, while visiting a family who'd been my parishioners till a short time earlier, and near Christmas, for some reason we got on the subject of bathroom etiguette ... and the lady, who had a husband and a couple of grown sons, said that she'd read the riot act to them, years earlier ...

... they either sat down to pee ...

... or were in charge of cleaning the bathroom.

I remember posting on here some time ago about civilized men sitting down to pee.

ole joyful ... who, as an oldster, seems to need to pee more often
