I am always shocked and amazed by how many adults lack even the basic understanding of bathroom etiquette.
Maybe I am weird, but I don't believe that you should do a #2 at the bathrooms at work. I don't want to smell my co-workers stuff and I don't want them smelling mine. Yes, sometimes it is unavoidable like when you eat at an all-you-can-eat Mexican buffet at 11:00 in the morning and then return to work. But this is where the Bathroom of Shame comes into play. Every medium to large office has one; the bathroom that hardly anybody uses because it is out of the way. In my office, there is a bathroom as such located on the 1st floor near the south parking lot. If you need to do the #2 at work, this is the place to do it. It is funny, sometimes I will walk by the bathroom's of shame (women's and men's separate, of course) and someone will walk out and they have a guilty look on their face. Guilt is good though, shame is good. #2 should be shamefull even though everybody does it.
There has been a problem both on the 2nd floor men's room and now the 3rd floor men's room where someone is urinating on the floor near the urinal. Now, I could understand a stray drop making it to the floor, but a puddle? Someone should take this guys Man Card away, he needs to sit on the pot like a girl; he doesn't deserve to stand. The scary thing is that since this has occured on both floors, it must be two different men.
Cell phones: Don't use your damn cell phone in the bathroom, it is so rude both the person you are speaking with but also for me. I don't want whomever you are speaking to hearing me take a leak. Ever hear a guy piss? It is an unmistakable sound and very loud.
There is a guy on the 2nd floor who will go nameless, that uses the first stall. The way our bathrooms are set up here at work is that there is one urinal, and two stalls with the furthest being the handicap stall. I cannot tell you how many times I have gone in to use the urinal and this dude is in the stall nearest to the urinal and the handicap stall is vacant. Now, he should have used the Bathroom of Shame as mentioned above, but at the very least he should give the guy at the urinal a buffer. The worst part is that there are tiles on the walls, so if you are standing there doing your business, you can see shadows of the guy in the first stall.
I have heard from several female co-workers that things are worse in the women's bathroom. If recall correctly, I was 14 before I figured out that women even used the bathroom-seriously. Women will have you believe that they don't so it but they do. And boy do they. This one time, we received a company wide email reminding the women of the building to please not flush feminine products down the toilet. As I understand it, some women's restrooms have a trash can aparatus in the stalls for used feminine products. God I am so glad I am not a woman.
Finally, I would like to say flush for Christ sake! We are not in the middle of a drought so the yellow does not need to mellow.
