"That, and those faucets spray everywhere."
I tend to carry alcohol wipes - but when brushing teeth sometimes use the faucet if I forget bottled water. The spray issue is a problem in every bathroom I have used - coach class or sleeper car - long distance or regional.
I must have been lucky I have never come across the smelly coach class. I have seen some scary passengers - some that look in need of a shower - but can't think of a time where someone was offensive odor wise. When in coach long distance - which is rare anymore - I would always have toothbrush, toothpaste and deodorant for use. Not really sure why most passengers wouldn't have similar items with them. Even so on a long day and 1/2 to 2 day trip - clean teeth and armpit protection still doesn''t seem make me feel completely freshened up. That sleeper shower makes a big difference.
I have seen both aspects of bathrooms - some really kept up well - mostly in sleepers - but even in coach. But the amjority are dirty and rarely if ever given a cleaning during the trip. My most digusting experience happened a few months back in a sleeper on Ciy of New Orleans - I think a crew member was the source of the mess and didn't bother flushing or cleaning up after themselves.
I'd actually bet many people who don't treat public spaces / restrooms kindly - have just as digusting homes. Interesting thing is - sometimes it is the prim and proper looking people that many times leave the biggest messes.
