So, my wife and I just got back from dinner from our local Olive Garden.
It was an otherwise enjoyable experience... except in regards to the state of the men's restroom.
It was fairly nicely laid out... except for all the unflushed urinals and toilets, sticky, puddled floors, shredded, actually bloody paper towels and toilet paper thrown carelessly about (including on the baby changing table), and the two patron gentlemen that entered the restroom, urinated on the floor, then left without even glancing at the sinks while I washed my hands.
I could have blamed the staff for not keeping up with the state of the restroom, but I can't really hold it against them, not when their clientele are revolting slobs who go out of their way to be disgusting.
I fear for humanity. Seriously, it was worse than a gas station men's restroom at a truck-stop or even the hole-in-the-wall dives I occasionally go to.
I kind of want to just hang out there wearing a tuxedo, wielding a baseball bat with a hand towel on the end of it to give them the "hint," even if I have to break some legs.
...
Gentlemen, I hope your mothers would have realized that you weren't worth being conceived to spare the rest of us from having to put up with you (as well as having to walk through your excrement).
Well then, you must have went to the wrong Olive Garden. All the Olive Gardens are the wrong Olive Gardens.

Welcome to my signature! I'm on the forums almost everyday (even if its just for a few minutes) So if you have something to tell me or tell me about, just send me a PM (private message) Note- I do not usually check the places I post to see if there are replies, so the above applies. ~Notch
I used to clean the bathrooms for a weekend market. By the end of the day, you'd carry home so much animosity for the filthy crowds that go in there. Even 20 minutes after a routine 'spruce', they'd be filthy again. Some of the mess was unexplainable. You'd wonder how they'd manage to get crap that far up the wall.
For some reason, the engineering buildings at my university has some of the dirties restrooms on campus. Second would be the libraries, and last is the business school.
My workplace's bathroom (a Pacific NW retail store) is pretty nasty, but I just use the employee restroom.
Remarkably, the men's restroom at one of the bars I frequent is actually pretty clean. That, or I'm always too drunk when I go in there to notice the mess.
I honestly thought you were going to get to the part with the dirty bathrooms, but you ever did...
Anyway, let me talk about my social life, or my lack of one...
I go to a 7-12 college preparatory school in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA It's called Walnut Hills High School. And honestly, It was a HUGE shock to come from my tiny private school that had 250 people to a large public school that had 2.5 thousand, but I got used to it. My only problem is, why can't get any friends!! It's like they don't even like me! At my old school they were awesome, they all talked to me and I was a middle-classer (not too popular but not too unpopular). But at this school, the environment is so damn large and I have to deal with the different people EVERY BELL, so ridiculous. It makes it a billion times harder to socialize that way and it's just really frustrating and I'm frustrated and yeah and so school is really taking its toll on me and I'm getting bad grades an such and I am just really depressed with it, but it''s Life, ya know? Hopefully I can do better next year.

I hate to be the one to say this, but food critics tend to go to the bathroom in any restaurant they eat in and make note of it. The cleanliness of a bathroom tends to reflect the cleanliness of the kitchen. I would advise against going to that Olive Garden in the future.
Honestly, I would advise against going to Olive Gardens in general. Their "Italian" food leaves a lot to be desired.
I'll make a related rant and throw this into the general off topic forum, as this isn't really discussing any issues.
Italian food in the US for the most part sucks. I didn't really notice all that much until I studied in Italy when I was in university. That changed my life. "Olive oil has a taste?" "Not everything is made of cheese?" "They don't serve pasta as a side dish for your pasta?" I would joke with the other students, whenever we were eating, that it was "better than Olive Garden" (implying Olive Garden was good).
Now that I'm back in the States, and have been for some time, I've been craving real Italian food. I'm very lucky to have one place nearby that is legitimately licensed by the Italian government to serve Italian food. It's very nearly authentic (the differences are so small as to be petty, for instance, they slice up your pizza instead of just giving you a fork and knife).
The other "Italian" restaurants all order the same ingredients from the same supplier, and they taste bland and flavorless like most of the palette here in the US. My friends have learned not to take me to these places because they infuriate me with their watery olive oil, bland noodles, and flavorless heavy cream sauces sprinkled with dry preserved cheese dust.
Person supposed to listen to you: Doesn't listen
Person supposed to help you: Goes out for lunch
Person in charge of the phone: Disregards me
Person I hate: Never listens, but then suddenly decides I'm her BFF because I look upset
Crush: Look like a fool in front of her
Me: An incompetent, high maintenance, over emotional, unskilled, awkward, nitwit.
Social systems make me rage so hard. They base it on what you look like, how sporty you are, and to an extent, how funny you are. Now I am one of the most intelligent in the school, am anything but sporty, don't care about my appearance, am kind, and the only thing people seem to find funny about me IS THE FACT NO-ONE WILL STAND UP FOR ME OR ANYTHING IF THEY BULLY ME OR MAKE JOKES ABOUT ME! AT MY SCHOOL, IT IS SOCIALLY OK TO BULLY ME! THAT IS SO STUPID! JUST BECAUSE I AM CLEVER, JUST BECAUSE I AM NOT SPORTY, JUST BECAUSE OF MY APPEARANCE, IT OK TO BULLY ME! THAT IS NOT FAIR! WHY? THIS IS STUPID! AND THEN MY FRIENDS WILL PICK UP AND DROP ME WHEN THEY FEEL LIKE IT! EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE! AND THE ANTI-BULLYING STUFF IS USELESS, THE TEACHERS ARE TOO WORRIED ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT PEOPLE ARE PLAYING FOOTBALL TO THINK ABOUT THE SCREWED UP SOCIAL SYSTEM!
Well, if you think that's bad, try having a silverfish infestation in the girl's locker room. I hear that the boy's changing rooms in my school are better than the girl's changing rooms. Now, I think this is because there are only male custodians at our school... ...But still. It's pretty unfair, y'know?
The smell of the girl's bathroom in my school is so smelly that sometimes I have the urge to puke sometimes. And then there are people who don't even bother to flush...Bleah.

If all of us give a little bit of something to a good cause, we can help to make that cause happen.
and the two patron gentlemen that entered the restroom, urinated on the floor, then left without even glancing at the sinks while I washed my hands.
Are you serious, they urinated on the floor? Did they like miss the urinals or did they actually pull down their pants and purposely urinate on the floor?
Ok, so I'm supposed to rant about my life. If you enjoy that sort of thing read on. Wait, why would you be hear if you didn't enjoy that sort of thing?
I am the clever one, who knows all the useless bits of trivia (today I was called a 'human wikipedia' for knowing what a loaded question was. And the person who said that was supposed to be as clever as me.) I am also the social outsider, who is insulted alot, and the punchline/subject of alot of jokes, as I don't really care about my appearance or what's 'cool,' and am emotional. And I have just found out that someone who left my school and was a bully, who thought that she could insult, make a fool of, bully and wind up, then be forgiven and friends with me, is coming back. Also my own friends group has some rather annoying cracks in, and two of my best friends seem to pick up and drop me alot.
I know what you feel, bar the really clever part. I'm smart enough in class but don't know too much trivia.
Reminds me of my seventh grade basketball team's practice one night. I stuffed a guy so hard that he jammed every finger in his right hand at the same time.
