PeePublic: Public Restroom Etiquette & Humor

Public Restrooms are an integral part of our society and at times create unusual and uncomfortable situations. Nonetheless, we must all use them throughout our lives in several different locations. Everyone has seen some of the same scenarios when entering a public restroom, which are both disgusting and humorous. How many times have you left the restroom and told the person/people you are with what you saw or heard? We would bet the number would be pretty high.

Dane Cook, a comedian, has even done a skit during his stand-up about his experience in the public restroom. The skit is hilarious because it brings up points we can all relate to and wonder ourselves. Here at PeePublic, we believe a lot of people have humorous, disgusting, or interesting stories and questions about public restrooms they have encountered. So we would like to hear from everyone and you don't have to be a comedian like Dane Cook to tell an interesting public restroom story. Become a Member to start or simply comment on certain topics to become a part of the community.


To help explain a little more about PeePublic:

Were sure you almost immediately asked one of the following questions. As such, We would like to provide immediate answers to these questions.

    1. What is PeePublic?

    2. Why would anybody choose PeePublic as a title?

To answer the first question — What is PeePublic? PeePublic is a community designed to discuss issues, philosophies, questions, and stories regarding public restroom behaviors and scenarios. Much of these discussions are intended to not only be humorous or informative, but to bring light to why you see what you see in a public restroom.

Our hope as a community is to define and establish rules and regulations to guide restroom behavior, as well as to simply entertain.

Furthermore, it would be interesting to postulate why certain behaviors or situations occur. For example, in men’s restrooms, there is always at least one urinal of separation between Men perusing the urinals. As for females, it’s always been a curiosity as to why the women’s restroom line is so long relative to the men’s line. Without a doubt all users of restrooms have at one time silently asked questions like these or even these specific questions. In the PeePublic community, these private questions can be voiced and discussed anonymously.

As for the title "PeePublic":

To begin, the underlying philosophies are modeled after "The Republic" by Plato. In The Republic, Plato, through the voice of his mentor Socrates, participates in a dialogue to determine first what justice is, and secondly, the nature of it. As such, the creators of PeePublic felt that through a rigorous discussion via a community site, answers to common mind boggling questions and stories of restroom etiquette will be revealed. Given the content of the site, PeePublic was the obvious choice for a title. As a community we can try to breakdown the perfect restroom, as well as entertain.

As a member of PeePublic, be sure to take note of the physical layout of restrooms, the environment (restaurant, the ocean, house party, the bar, etc.), and other situations of the restrooms we make use of on a daily basis. Determine and bring these problem/praiseworthy aspects to the community to engage in rigorous discussion. Without a doubt, somebody somewhere will have encountered similar situations.

Peeing With Pants Down

SocraPees's picture

Has anybody ever come accross somebody who actually pees with their pants down?

It's very awkward to witness, and one almost feels inclined to inform the violator of such an obvious rule to pull his pants up; of course, this is can only be done after both individuals are done peeing.

Apparently Peru Has Special Signs

I came across this in a search in google blogs and thought this was great. A blogger for Eco Worldly, Levi Novey, was in Peru and saw the sign in the picture. After seeing the picture, I had to know what it was all about.

Immediate Need After Club

Bar hopping is something I love to do because I hate to be in the same place the whole night. It adds a new element to going out allowing you to meet more people, hear new music, and just be in a different environment. Who wants to stay in the same place drinking for 4 hours? The group of friends I was with this night was the same way.

Okay so I had distracted the guy I was dating while he was driving ... and we went the wrong way to get to rocky point, ended up over near Tijuana. After a bit of driving down a Highway, I guess that was empty of life, we found this quickie type station and we went in and asked where the restroom was.

Urinal Etiquette in a Music Video

This is my first post and I figured it would be very suiting given my user name and the numerous mentions of urinal manners. I found this video while surfing YouTube.

These guys had the right idea for a student film. Why not make a music video about the protocol of urinals?

The guys bring up very good points and I think the most common ones every guy should know, with a nice little tune to go with it.

Cleanliness Very Important

DrinkingTheory's picture

One of the biggest reasons I believe people hate using the public restroom is due impart because of cleanliness. Most people like clean things and are afraid of germs. What is the one thing everyone tends to avoid?.......The toilet seat.

You don't speak. You don't peek. You just leak.

DrinkingTheory's picture

There is a "hidden curriculum" when it comes to public restrooms. We usually learn it at a young age just by viewing what others do, such as our parents or adults in general. They are lessons we learn from observing instead of being taught in a classroom or at the dinner table.

Urinal Etiquette Is Worldwide

DrinkingTheory's picture

All guys know the rule, if your standing at the urinal....eyes forward. There is to be no looking around. It is something we learn instinctively when were little (at least no one ever told me the rule. I just knew).

Some guys take this extremely seriously. A guy in New Zealand actually punched a guy, not once but twice in a Pub's bathroom for not following "Urinal Etiquette." This actually went to court!

Urinals Should Be More Entertaining

DrinkingTheory's picture

What if you created a urinal in which you could draw with your urine and have it show up on the screen?

Public bathrooms have got to be the least decorated and probably the most boring place to have to go. Most places don't take much time to decorate or try new things with a bathroom due to the fear of change or lack of attention. When you think about it, a place of business isn't really going to be concerned with the bathroom because it doesn't bring in the money.

Bud light at work...

Beer Master's picture

I work at a resort In Paradise Valley. I was going to the bathroom at our employee restroom. I entered and was drainging when I noticed a bud light cap on the toilet. I thought it was kinda random. I pushed the thought out of my head, I finish and move to wash my hands. I go to throw the paper towels in the trash can, where I notive an empty beer bottle. Now I know that there could be a one in a million that the two were put there seperatly. I  want to know what was someone thinking? Did they need a cold one while they were taking a leak?
