Ok... at work last week we had a patient (a teenager) come in to have a few moles removed. He almost RAN into our office, looked frantically around, located the bathroom (the patients bathroom is located just opposite the hallway from our front desk,where i sit)... and bolted into it. He was in there not more than a few minutes, but when he came out, the entire office knew he had been there. It smelled SO bad, that my co-worker lit a candle. The bathroom door was shut, but the smell was still an incredible presence, so she plugged her nose, and went into the bathroom to spray the good smelling disinfectant. It still took a long while for the smell to pass, but sadly enough, i had to accompany the kid into the room, and trust me... the smell was STUCK to him.
Jump forward to today... the kid's follow up appointment... surprise, surprise... he bolted in, ran into the bathroom, and did it AGAIN! The smell is horrendous. What do his parents feed him??? What died inside this kid, that is taking WEEKS to pass through his system? And why is this kid deciding to dump the stench when he comes here? oh, and it gets better... he NEVER sprays when he uses the bathroom... and the HUGE bottle of nice smelling spray is sitting ON THE TOILET!! Not hidden by anything. If i *must* use a public bathroom for "#2", i spray, if spray is available! Even if i'm unsure if it smelled, i will always use it to be on the safe side.
Teach your kids some manners, please! Common courtesy would be nice. Teach them to think of others besides themselves. This kid was not a toddler who doesnt know any better... he is a teenager who should know that other people have noses! Parents are lacking these days in the manner/common courtesy department... don't even ask me how i feel about teaching elevator etiquette (or lack there of) to your kids... i'll save that for next time.
