My Bathroom Phobia and Secret
I have somewhat of a phobia when it comes to public restrooms.  Maybe it has something to do with this reoccurring dream I have of being in this greasy, grimy public restroom - you know the kind you see in those horror films.  Graffiti and obscene writings fill the bathroom stalls, wet toilet paper strewn all over the floor, etc., etc.  You get the picture. 

Whenever I walk into a public restroom, I start to tense up a little.

This week for the Bathroom Blogfest, I’ll be highlighting a couple of my favorite bathrooms around town as well as some not-so-good ones.  

As a side note, I’m going to reveal something I do while I’m in a public restroom.... You may think this is just off-the-wall, but you’ll know something about me that even my best friends don’t know about me!  Here goes.... I look at the feet of the woman next to me and try to guess what they look like...Sometimes going as far to make up a story about them!  Hey - it passes the time!

Hi, Maria! I like this post (as usual). Tell you what, I want bathrooms to be clean, too. This is my dilemma when I go to malls and restos other than Glorietta/Greenbelt, Makati. But most high-end malls here have paid lounges where you're assured of clean bathrooms. Same with restos. One resto, whose bathroom I particularly like is Italianni's (an Italian resto in Greenbelt). I should take photos and show them to you. :-D

Meikah,

Yes, I remember my experiences with "comfort rooms" in the Philippines! It was definitely rare to find one that was clean and had toilet paper ;)

Share your pixes at your blog!

I have a lot of blatantly irrational phobias, none more devastating to my mental health than bathroom phobias.

Dear Maria,

You sound just like me. I hate DIRTY RESTROOMS!!! I have phobias of using any restrooms that aren't clean and not to mention the public ones. I dont know what it is but I just wont even use the public restroom if it's dirty I'll just hold it until I go home or find a nice clean restroom. LOL
