text: how bad do you have to go before you use a public restroom? wheeew! whats that smell? whats that on the toilet seat? when does that public restroom become the "final answer"? i will always use a public restroom. it's unhealthy to hold it in. i'm not going to torture myself for hours because there is no where clean to do my business. if i have to go, i find the nearest restroom. if it's absolutely so disgusting that i can't breathe, i try to find a different restroom. but i agree, public restrooms can be pretty gross!
