Birthday

Today is the day I entered this world. 34 years ago. Yikes!

I was invited by Fabulously 40 to take part in "Official Bitch Day"...a day to let it all out. And it's on my birthday!

No...I'm not 40 or beyond, but they welcome all women at their website.

So, of course I said "Hell to the yes!" when they asked me!

Therefore, on "Official Bitch Day", I will write a letter.

Dear Lady in the Public Restroom,

I do not understand. I am always in disbelief no matter how many times I encounter this disgraceful behavior. I leave the restroom disgusted, irritated, disappointed and sad.

So I ask you...how can you pee all over the seat and not clean up after your nasty self? Do you treat your bathroom at home this way? Or do you figure since it is not your toilet to clean, you may make a mess and not worry about it? Do you realize children go into these same stalls you leave your mess in?

Whether you hang from the ceiling to take a leak so you don't get germs from the seat does not make it okay. Do you not realize how wrong this is? And the irony is painful...you hover so you don't get germs, but look at the germs you leave for everyone else!!!

Do you not feel the slightest guilt leaving the toilet that way for the next person? Are you in some way better than the rest of us? Does your conscience eat away at you for the rest of the day?

Let me ask you this...If YOU go into a stall and there is pee all over the seat, do you sigh and get disgusted? Or do you find it acceptable?

Taking a little boy into the ladies' restroom does not excuse you, either. Take a piece of paper in your hand and lift the seat before your son does his thing. Simple.

A historic poet did not slave away at the following fine piece of art for nothing:

"If you sprinkle when you tinkle,

Be a sweetie and wipe the seatie."

So....I implore you. Be respectful to your fellow women. You wouldn't want someone to come to your house and leave pee all over your bathroom seat, now would you? Remember you are not the last person who will ever use that toilet. It doesn't take long, just WIPE THE SEAT. Make the world a better place.

Sincerely,

Jenny

Okay ladies...go join "Official Bitch Day", and let it all out! It's liberating!
