Sports Stadium Toilets

Have you ever had to take a toilet break at footy match? If so you would have taken with you an interesting but disturbing experience. I cant speak for the ladies toilets but in the men's, well it's a fest pool of smells, men huddled too close and those blokes who take have the bladder sustaining power of a race horse. Those men I speak of seem to piss for so long you would assume they are taking one long toilet stop for the whole day. I swear they have pressure that on any given day could dent the urinal.
I refer to a typical 50'000 strong crowd at a Saturday game of football at the MCG. Come half time there has been at least an hour of use in those toilets so when the heavily male crowd get up to rid their bladders of their alcohol infused urine the plumbing gets overworked. The footy faithful flock to the small concrete dungeons with the words 'MEN'. Then when you enter you get a slap in the nose when you first inhale the most horrible stench of thousands of men having used this room before you. It's like no other odour, musk mixed with a hint of beer. The cubicles are for those with small genital syndrome, and they will be full. Possibly with one or two who need to take far more involved visit. Then there is the row of continuous urinals, which have a group of men shoulder to shoulder attempting to take the shortest piss possible in order to get out. Once you muscle in, you too want to get it over with. And when your done you must take care of the finale, which if you shake for too long then those around to you with potentially get the impression you are taking your visit to a new disturbing level. When your done, you zip up with the care and accuracy of a surgeon to make sure you won't require a medic to heighten the already horrible experience.
Now when you step down, you have a choice, wash or leave. If you wash you got to think, how many have washed their hands and touched that tap? Or you can leave and rid yourself of that thought. Once your out you with breathe what will feel like air that has whispered across an ancient glacier. And off you go to get back to the game.
I suggest going to the toilet during the quarter, it will mean you miss the game but also allow you to go without the need to share it with a whole bunch of strangers. It's your choice.
