And i bet you do too? (read the title a letter at a time to see if you do)
Until quite recently I thought the worse thing about public weeing was the wriggly wait in the queue, especially if you have the mispleasure of taking a three year old with you. But now there seems to be a significant increase in the number of public toilet irritants.
So not only do you have to wait your turn in what always seems like the longest queue you have ever stood in, now you have the pleasure of toilet marketting to greet you and your arrival.
Most public toilets now have picture frame size adverts along the corridor leading up to the facilities, akin to the train escalator jobbies (if you will excuse the pun). I suppose it takes your mind of the reason for queuing and thus delays the inevitable at that crucial time. Execpt that the adverts are always for those sugary soft drinks or spring water - just what you don't need as you try to hold back the last consumed cup full.
Then just as you sigh a breathe of relief at getting into the cubicle low and behold there is another one on the back of the door. Now in normal public loos in the womens (obviously i can't comment on the gents) you get an aray of ads for ointment for 'down below' problems which really cheers the occasion along and then sparks the 3 year old off on a "why is the lady in the picture playing with her Girlie bit?" - dear god i just wanted to pee !!!!
Oh and in a resturant it is a completely different matter. There you have the establishment asking you to book a do ie a party, xmas lunch, or valentine meal (very romantic) - great idea "call our reservations line on ...." so i'll just do that now then shall I? or I could just write the number down for later only theres no loo paper to do so on - the PR guys didn't see that one coming now did they.
Our local Itailian goes a step further, language lessions on the loo, or 'looaphone' as I refer to it. So I can answer my call of nature and leave the little room knowing how to say "where is the nearest police station" in Itailian - now that is nearly worth queuing for.
