klein Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 The men's restroom in all of the buildings at Klein High School are in disrepair and the women's restroom are not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Timmy Chan's Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 FACT: Women are less prone to pee on the toilet handle and wipe boogers on bathroom walls than men. Alternate theory: There are more blind men than blind women? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDeb Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 It has to do with customer expectation.Women want a private place to socialize and "freshen up."Men want a hole to piss in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstonmacbro Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 It has to do with customer expectation.Women want a private place to socialize and "freshen up."Men want a hole to piss in.I like a nice bathroom (especially for #2) as much as the next person. But as long as it's not too smelly, has some running water (for hands), and isn't too creepy (dark and moldy) I'm good for a quick #1.

editor Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Can't be worse than a Starbucks bathroom. There's nothing consistently worse than Starbucks bathrooms. It's been a decade since I've seen a truck stop restroom worse than one at Starbucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidtownCoog Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Klein also does not about the health of men.Evidence?The women can buy sanitary napkins but all the men get is standard towles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20thStDad Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Klein also does not about the health of men.Evidence?The women can buy sanitary napkins but all the men get is standard towles.Can buy? Is there a napkin vending machine in the bathroom? Forgive me if this is common, but never seen it. Public park bathrooms are the worst. Nothing like no air conditioning, 95 degrees, and no tp.

I formed this opinion long before I moved to Chicago, and it's held true in every city I've visited. It's even true internationally.The only Houston Starbucks restrooms I've been to are the one across from the Galleria and the old one on West Gray. Both were horrid.

My visit to China may have seriously distorted my restroom cleanliness perception.I think China has the second-worst bathrooms on Earth. Only slightly better than Thailand. I waited in line for 30 minutes to take a pee in an outhouse at a monastery at the top of a mountain. The "WC" was just a five-gallon pickle bucket with half a broken toilet seat balanced on it, and the bucket was overflowing. Worst. Toilet. Evar.

First: Midtown I didn't realize that YOU actually NEEDED to use a "sanitary napkin", do you use pads or tampons for your monthlys ? LOL! B: 20thStDad, you have got to be kidding me ! It is common knowledge that under NO circumstances do you EVER use a rest area to "drop the kids off at the pool !" Wait, was this episode you had in the 1950's ? If it was then that was ok, they actually had people who worked with some pride to keep the toilets clean at these roadside conveniences.

The "WC" was just a five-gallon pickle bucket with half a broken toilet seat balanced on it, and the bucket was overflowing. Worst. Toilet. Evar.OK, time for the Chinese toilet stories. Gather round, kids.1. The only clean toilets I saw in China were in my hotel, kept specially clean for westerners.2. Most had no toilet paper. The McDonald's just south of Tiananmen Square had toilet paper, but it was so valuabe they hung a single roll outside the restrooms, between the men's and women's, where no one would be bold enough to steal it. You had to plan ahead to use it.3. I visited a high school in Tianjin. The smell of human waste in the classes near the restroom made breathing difficult.4. I visited a mall in Tianjin. The "toilet" consisted of 3 long troughs, about 2 inches deep, that ran across the room. People had to straddle them and do their business without letting any of their clothes touch the accumulated waste. They had a man there who scraped them out every hour or so. Once a week they poured water through them.5. I visited the hutongs in Beijing. Jam-packed neighborhoods shared two or three little squat holes in the ground. Sometimes the edges of the holes were caving in, requiring great skill to avoid falling in.6. I saw small children wearing pants that split up the back. They had no undergarments or diapers. When they needed to defecate, they just squatted down on the sidewalk and let 'er rip. The parents kept walking, leaving little landmines of human feces right there on the busy sidewalk.I haven't been to Thailand, but I've been to a lot of US truckstops. The nastiest, scariest truckstop restroom seems pleasant after my trip to China."A fish cannot live in distilled water." - Mao Zedong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vertigo58 Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 My, what a charming thread. Right. Seems that Klein should take this up with Klein ISD managment instead of wasting time/breath venting on an architecture based forum. At first it seemed like a valid story about the schools discrimination against men or women in top management. False alarm kid's.Geez.

What's wrong with the men's restroom: toilets are cracked. one restroom does not have stalls! the others do not have stall doors. the foundation is visable in some spots ones in the Main Building.

CDeb Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Sounds like the norm. I can count on one hand the number of times I did #2 at school in my four years at Westfield. It had to be an emergency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin2002 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 (edited) This post brings up some good memories from my junior year at Klein High school back in 1997. At the time, the mens restrooms were in terrible shape, including no doors on any of the stalls. Based on the original poster it sounds like nothing has changed. Well, one day at school I had to do my business and I absolutely refused to use the normal men's bathroom. So in my infinite wisdom I decided to make a pit stop in the teacher's restroom. Well my luck went south when I came out of the bathroom and a female teacher happened to be standing right there waiting for the bathroom. I didn't even notice but I accidently went in the FEMALE teacher's restroom (it was a single stall restroom)...ahh good times. Needless to say I ended up getting a couple days of suspension for that one:) Edited May 2, 2008 by Justin2002 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VicMan Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Do you think the outcome would be different if you had asked a staff member for permission to use the staff toilet?IMO that punishment is too harsh, considering that the toilet was a single room (and therefore there isn't as much sense) - I think a lunch detention would have been a better punishment.This post brings up some good memories from my junior year at Klein High school back in 1997.
