Public Bathroom Etiquette
I’m not going to lie. This post has nothing to do with being a lesbian, gay politics, or homosexuality in any form. However that’s what I like about this blog. There our stories so I can write about whatever I feel the need to write about. The topic I will be tackling this afternoon is public bathroom etiquette. More specifically, the public bathroom in my office building. It would be a bit difficult to put all of this in paragraph form, so I’ll just go ahead and spout these off by number.
1. Please check the toilet after you flush. The last thing I want to do in the morning is walk into a stall, look down into the toilet, and see remnants of your business. And I’m not talking about the yellow stuff.
2. If there are multiple stalls, lets say four, and I am in stall one please feel free to occupy stall three. Yes, you could chose stall two, but lets have a little space between one another. And if your going to under take some serious business please make your way to stall 4.
3. You prefer to use the tissue paper seat covers, that’s fine, please just make sure when you flush that it doesn’t remain stuck to the seat. Cause I don’t want to know why it’s stuck to the seat.
4. In the event that you need to dispose of a tampon or sanitary napkin please take the time to wrap said item in toilet paper or the package your new one came in. I do not want to see anything that looks remotely close to someone elses blood when I throw away my securely wrapped version of the same.
5. If I am in the stall and I hear you leave without washing your hands please do not hang around the lobby outside the bathroom so I can pin point who you are and think about the germs you are spreading to the coffee pots.
6. So you’re a bathroom tooth brusher are you? That’s fine, more power to you and your well maintained veneers! Please just make sure to wash all of your spit out of the sink before you leave.
7. Gas happens, but please try your best not to accompany your movements with verbal moans. We are in a business environment and unless you are having a colonoscopy moaning shouldn’t have to happen.
8. Wash your hands + whiping the counter clean afterward = a dry counter top all day long
That’s all I’ve got. I’ll leave 9 and 10 up to you guys. I’m normally not a complainer, but the bathroom thing drives me crazy!!!!
