Bathroom Etiquette

I read a post this morning about talking on the phone while in the bathroom and it got me thinking about all the things that people do in the bathroom that bother me.

- People who talk to you. It's one thing to have a conversation going when you walk into the bathroom and just keep talking a little, but the people who come in and start talking to you while you're pissing... just don't do that.

- The people who can't seem to shut the water all the way off. Its not difficult, turn the knob till its off.

- Leaving paper towels on the floor. If one falls, pick it up. Don't cause your laziness to make the bathroom look like shit for everyone else.

- How hard is it to stand close enough to the toilet so you don't piss on the floor?

- What’s up with the people who just rinse their hands off and don't use soap? Are you trying to trick people into thinking you wash your hands? At least the people who walk right out aren't faking anything.

- OK, I realize that you may not like your job, but don't leave for 20 min everyday and go sit on the toilet and read. (A guy I used to work with did this)

- When there are other options, don’t use the urinal next to someone. That’s like off limits.

- Don't touch someone while they are peeing. (this hasn't happened to me, but I'm sure someone has done it)

- When you finish reading your paper after you shit please take it with you or throw it out. We don't need your newspaper making the bathroom messy.

- FLUSH. Especially when you take a shit. Its not tough, and its fuckin gross not to.

- Don't talk to the person next to you in the stall, and don't carry on conversations with people outside the stall when you're takin a shit.

- Please stop making those weird noises. Gross.
