This is a question Common

Freddy Woo writes, "My wife thinks calling the front room a lounge is common. Worse, a friend of hers recently admonished her daughter for calling a toilet, a toilet. Lavatory darling. It's lavatory."

My own mother refused to let me use the word 'oblong' instead of 'rectangle'. Which is just odd, to be honest.

What stuff do you think is common?

Spitting into urinals...

Picture the scene*...You're in the gents ejoying a lovely lingering wee...and someone approaches and stands next to you....no problem with that…you exchange the obligatory ‘nods’…then they proceed to hock up a monumental wad of phlegm and / or nasal contents…and spit the resulting smoothie into the trough – mid-piss

Why? sweet Jeebus why does everybody feel the need to gob in a urinal whilst they’re having a slash?

…and it’s worst in pubs.

Answers on a postcard please…(or in the ‘reply’ section if it’s more convenient)

*Scene may be slightly more difficult to picture for laydees

There also seems to be
an unspoken rule whereby letting rip a loud and foetid fart whilst stood next to someone - specifically in pubs, from experience - is perfectly OK.

I couldn't disagree more. This is more to do with 'common courtesy' rather than 'common', though, I'd say.

In Wales.
I was using the facilities when a local fella came in and started using a urinal along the way from me.

He burped a bit and muttered a polite "excuse me". He then unleashed an almighty bout of bum gas, giggled to himself and said "Sorry. Better out than in though. Well, better out y'ere than in there isn't it."

I have to say, he wasn't entirely wrong.

^^^
Last Christmas in Bristol on a work outing a colleague and I having just arrived at this pub after a few elsewhere dived for the gents. Whilst using the urinal another fella, well dressed, turns up and does likewise.

He then proceeded to expell noisy farts so terrible I thought his very guts would come out too. It was the kind of audible nasty that you would think could only appear in slapstick comedy.

Everyone stopped pissing to stare at the guy in utter disbelief.

He finished his wee, and walked out like nothing was wrong (without washing his hands, yuck!).

Saw him back in the bar reading a copy of the Sun.

Now that's pretty low on the human decency scale.

also in the shitter pubs
when the urinal is like a long troth, why do people find it ok to stand right next to you so splashing occurs onto your shoes, or even worse, chasing the cleaning blocks down the troth nearly causing the dreaded crossing of the streams.

I have really got to disagree with this one,
you're in a pub toilets, it's a room designed with the sole purpose of shitting & pissing.

Don't get me wrong I can not stand people who spit in public but spitting and farting in public toilets is alright in my books, less so in shopping centres and the like but pubs are fair game, if you're really caring that much about other patron's toilet habits then you arnt using the pub to its full potential.
