text: So much for peeing in peace.
  
  As if women didn’t have enough to worry about when using public restrooms, now we’ve gotta watch out for transphobic bathroom patrols.
  
  A Connecticut woman with an adorable pixie cut was harassed in a Walmart restroom by a customer who assumed that because Aimee Toms, 22, was sporting short hair and baseball cap, then she must also be sporting a penis.
  
  Connecticut woman says she was harassed in Walmart bathroom
  
  And so what if she was? There are plenty of things that piss me off more in a public ladies room than what someone is packing in their underwear. So can we please not add self-righteous bathroom monitors to this already overlong list of pee peeves?
  
  1. PEE ON THE SEAT
  
  We’ve all occasionally sprinkled when we tinkled, but there’s no excuse for not taking two seconds to wipe up after yourself. There’s nothing worse than entering a stall and seeing splatter, except ...
  
  Ladies, please... Let’s just leave the stall as clean as we found it, OK?
  
  The only thing worse than the pee-pee dance while waiting in line for a stall is the flushdance once you’re inside. Why do automatic flushers always seem to either flush before you’ve finished (and sometimes even before you’ve sat down) or they decide not to flush at all when it’s time to leave? Then you’re forced to bounce back and forth in front of the sensor to try and turn it on.
  
  We’ve all been there — you place the paper cover on the seat, but the automatic flusher sucks it down before you’ve had a chance to sit. You pull out another protector, place it on the seat, and the mad process repeats. So you give up and hover anyway. In heels.
  
  It sucks to be left hanging when there’s no hook on the door for your purse. You can’t lay it on the dirty floor, so you’re forced to awkwardly hold it on your lap or dangled over your shoulder while you squat.
  
  The last thing you want to do while simultaneously hovering over the toilet and awkwardly cradling your purse is to also have to reach out and hold the stall door closed, because of course the latch is broken — or nonexistent.
  
  We’ve all suffered the despair of seeing not a single square left on that cardboard tube — which is why many of us carry pocket tissues, just in case. If you want to go all Neighborhood Watch on the women’s room, you’d honestly be doing a better service to patrol the toilet paper rolls so that no ladies are left high and not-so-dry.
  
  What’s more awkward than a small child’s head suddenly peering at your squatting self from under the door to see if your stall is available? It’s not cute. Haven’t kids ever heard of knocking? Or personal space?
  
  9. WATER ON THE SINK COUNTERS
  
  I assume that the same women who are too busy to wipe their pee off their toilet seats are also the ones who can’t be bothered to mop up any water they splash while washing their hands. I always seem to get an awkward wet spot on my pants or my shirt after leaning against the counter to reach the faucet. Thanks, girls.
  
  We’ve established that the ladies room is often a rather disgusting place despite some of our best efforts — so it’s incredibly frustrating when you can’t even wash it away properly because the dispenser is out of soap.
  
  BONUS PEEVE: When there’s no paper towels, and the electric dryer (if it works) takes forever to dry your hands.
summary: So much for peeing in peace. Now we've gotta watch out for transphobic bathroom patrols.
