That’s what she should do, like any normal person.
She couldn’t tell rain drips from pee?
She did a pre inspection to know it was you?

You should have said, "I'm sorry that must have been water from my coat. I didn't use the toilet" and turned to your table. If she said anything further the correct response is to defuse the situation and say (although they are wrong) they are right.

That's a tough deal because it looks bad to the next person and they can't know that you didn't use the facility other than to wash up. I might have taken a quick swipe at the seat if I noticed it was wet. Then washed my hands.

Had to be a dinky restroom.

[speeder]

Just to summarize and recap; OP walks into small restroom with a gallon of rain water on his garments and it drips all over the toilet and floor while he's washing up. He leaves restroom, which is apparently unisex. Woman enters immediately after him and sees water all over the toilet seat.

This is the genesis of the term, "pissed off."

You made the mess but it was water?

Are you contending its proper etiquette to expect the next person to clean up your mess?
Would you feel that way if someone spilled a milkshake in your Porsche?
What if it's just spilled water in your Porsche, but your wife is going to have to sit in it?

Me?

I see this getting locked.

Good for you. Nothing would have been accomplished by trying to confront these two with reality. I maybe would have said, "It was like that when I went in," without looking up and then enjoy the meal.

I don't see anyplace where Look stated that he had dripped water on the floor or toilet seat.

Right away people jumping on his azz, claiming that he made the mess in there.... and he is in the wrong..

[1990C4S]

If I make a mess at the sink, I wipe it up. If I never used the toilet, there's no way I'm cleaning it. Or even looking at it.

And if I drip water on the floor, it's staying there until it evaporates. I'm not cleaning the floor in a public restroom.

There's some weird public restroom flexes goin' on here.

I'll give a happier rain story. I was out on a group ride when it started pouring. We stopped at a Buc-ees (it's a Texas thing) to get out of the rain. An employee came up to us as we're standing there in our funny tight clothes and shoes. We apologized for getting water everywhere and they said "no problem, y'all hang out as long as you want, we're just going mop up so nobody slips"

What makes you feel he did not?

[look 171]

Let me clarify a couple things here. In CA any business must comply with ADA. I am sure all state must comply also. All ADA baths must have a 2.5' turning radius from the edge of any plumbing fixtures. For you pelicans who like to get technical, that is 5' (measuring from the edge of a sink to the toilet so in reality its more then 5'+). I was not dripping wet but walked a city block under socal rain. Socal rain isn't FL rain so I do not have a gallon of water on me. Took off my jacket, hung it on the chair and went. I only washed my hands, wiped off my face, dried my glasses and walked out. Lets just say I dripped water. Tell me again why I should be responsible for the cleaning of someone else's pee or water on the floor? Sure the floor is wet, that's from people walking in from the wet street. Even if I flung my wet hands, it would have taken a lot of water to get the toilet seat wet from the sink which I did not do. One, I don't do that. SEcond, the paper towel dispenser was right there on the wall. I think these girls wanted to crap on someone, being unreasonable with public outcry. What public bathroom is clean and what were their expectations?

After reading this, anyone want to clean up someone's pee still?

[look 171]

We have reading comprehension issues today.

[stevej37]

There are some public restrooms around here that only have the blower/dryer for drying your hands. No paper towel dispenser.

Really. Now that's interesting. Never thought that

Yeah, I hate those. All the water splashed onto the wall then the floor and they never really dry your hands enough

[KRLocke]

I never know the right thing to say in moments like this, but always 5 minutes or 5 hours later. It is always best to take the high road and keep your cool. They wanted a fight. No sense in feeding that energy.

Love a good bowl of pho.

[A930Rocket]

Good for you for standing up to her.

The worst are the sinks with the built-in dryers. There’s like 3 inches between the bottom and the blower for your hands. No thanks!
