I don't shock easily but every now and then I am totally appalled at some things that occur in the woman's bathroom....I won't go into gory details.

Anyway I am in there washing my hands and this woman who I work with walks in, closes the stall door and says "sorry about what you're about to hear" she slams herself down on the toilet (severely obese, not that there's anything wrong with that) and lets one rip like i have never heard before.

seriosuly, do people have no shame?!?!?!? I almost died. :eek:

    that's quite the visual. i guess i shouldn't be surprised at that anymore, but i'd think most people would go in quietly, meet with client number 2 and then wait until the office was empty so nobody knows it's them taking care of business..

    4 stalls. I am sitting in 1. The other 3 are empty. Guy walks in and sits in the empty one right next to me. Ugh.

    What makes it worse: when he then gives *me* the silent treatment. I.e. the whole "who can out-silent the other guy so the other guy gives up and flushes and leaves, only to come back 15 mins later").

    Boooooooo.

    Don't even get me started on the conversation-starter-while-using-the-urinal-next-to-you ettiquette breacher. One-upped only by the guy who talks to you and ALSO proceeds to look at you the whole time.

    Get a clue folks. Common ettiquette.

    It is a good thing I was not drinking my coffee when I read that, or I would have done the best spit take. I think that is the funniest thing I have read in awhile. I think the cherry on top would have been if another person came in and engaged in a farting duet with the first person a la Family Guy:

  • i've always thought it was funny that people are embarassed to fart in public except in the bathroom! i guess its only embarassing if the opposite sex is around or something.

    We have numerous bathrooms through out the building, but in our secured area, there is only a single bathroom for ladies and one for men. What do you guys think about a person that waits for someone to come out of the bathroom.

    I just find it rude. You walk out and someone is standing there waiting. Walk down the hall, exit the door and go to one of the 100 other bathrooms in the building.

    That's what I do if this one is occupied.
    Don't come closer or I'll have to go

    my line for the smells and sounds of the work restroom:

    "you really need to see a doctor about that problem"

    :)
  • kind of unrelated, but my floor is about 90% men and the floor below is about 90% women, so its kind of an unwritten rule that you pee in our floor's bathroom and do #2 downstairs (for toilet seat cleanliness downstairs and to keep the smell out upstairs).

    to break this law is unwise.

    "Nothing wrong with that" :):) Of course there is!!! Like I always say "NO FAT CHICKS."

    this is a really fuuny very thread....crapping at work sucks. I hate crapping when someone else is in the room, my dog and cat included.

    Sometimes just to piss off my wife I will walk in when she is dropping the kids off at the pool. she hates it and gets so mad. i tell her to lock the door if she doesnt want me walking in.

    I guess this is what happens when you start off your day every morning with one of those big gulps full of soda :eek:
  • Haha, i has this conversation with someone last week.

    I am not a work defecator. It's always weird when someone goes in the bathroom and comes out 15 minutes later. They know that YOU know what they were doing and it's just...awkward. Not to mention, sometimes the smell that people leave is unbearable. And even though we all leave rancid smells from time to time, i don't want to be known as "the girl who left the gross stench that time"

    I'd rather hold it until i get home, thanks.
