Ohio Turnpike bathrooms

The bathrooms at the Ohio Turnpike rest stops are great. Nice and large (two aisles of stalls) and always super clean. I think they have someone on staff who's only job is to make sure the bathrooms stay well stocked and cleaned. You never have to wait for these bathrooms (which for women is a rarity!!) Some of the bathrooms have the paper towels hidden under the mirrors (there are little stickers that say the towels are under the mirrors) and some have the regular paper towel dispensers. I like the ones hidden under the mirrors because it makes everything look so much cleaner. The sinks are automated and the toilets are automated.....but that brings me to the first negative.

Automatic flushing toilets have been become one of my bigger pet peeves in life. It has made our society lazy. It has also made our society not care. For whatever reason, I am one of those people that the toilet never automatically flushes for. Not sure if I stand up to fast, or if I'm just too skinny to set-off the motion detector (that can't possibly be it!) But either way....it rarely automatically flushes for me. I always have to hit the little manual flush button. I'm happy to do it. I'm used to flushing my own toilet. But there are those people that just don't care. They get up from the toilet and it doesn't flush and they don't seem to even care about trying to get it to flush. They just walk out of the stall....their business showing for the next person to see. Unacceptable. Flush the damn toilet. I am more and more appalled each day at how people just don't care. Sorry about the minor sidebar.

Overall, the Ohio Turnpike bathrooms are great. Nothing to really complain about other than my own pet peeves. They get a 5 out of 5 toilets. I love that they keep the bathrooms so clean...that's a huge plus in my book.
