Hi, hi! Austin came to visit me Friday night and stayed through Sunday and we had a BALL! I have lots and lots to write about this visit but my internet went down Saturday and won't be up until Thursday at the earliest so I can't get into it right now (am writing at work).
Instead, I thought I'd bore the internet with my useless observations on the ladies rooms in my work place.
Germ Paranoia
What the hell is wrong with people? I'm not even talking about how filthy and inconsiderate they are - I have given up driving myself crazy trying to figure out what compels women to be so disgusting in a public space - but the needless shit they do out of some sort of germ paranoia and paranoia in general.
Am I the last person to flush a public toilet with my hand rather than my foot? What does flushing with your foot accomplish? Are you going to grapple your toes like a monkey so that you can open the stall door as well? Are you NOT going to wash your hands? Explain it to me. You go in, you pee or whatever you have to do, then you flush with your shoe but you've already touched so many things that are covered in the germs from the last user of that stall. And I'm pretty sure you are not only still going to wash your hands, but use a paper towel to open the door to get back into the atrium area. Then, you are going to swipe your access badge and, sans paper towel, open the door to get into your department.
Go to the bathroom. Do your business. Wash your hands. Don't touch your eyes or mouth. Wash your hands before you eat. You should be fine without all that special ops bullshit.
Weird Paranoia/Paranoia in General
This is a new one and one I've seen in the ladies room on multiple floors of this office. You know how public bathrooms with multiple stalls are set up right? There are two or three or more stalls in a row, you go in, you lock the door, whatev. There are teeny, tiny gaps on either side of the door where you can see through and be seen, but you really would have to be trying if you wanted to see something specific.
The women here? I don't know who they are or who they think they are working with or what they are doing in those stalls, but every so often you find one that has toilet paper hanging to cover the miniscule crack through which light shines through.
Who the fuck is going to come up and spy at you while you are sitting on the toilet? What fucked up, traumatic work environment have you come from that you think this is necessary? No one wants to see you, or if they do, I doubt very much they would do it in such an obvious way and in such a way that they could get caught. Cameras and shit, that's what they would do. Who is going to walk up and peek in on you?
Seriously women, get it together.

L-O-freaking L on the tiny gaps rant. Brilliant.
ReplyDeleteI know, right? It's one of those random things you run into and just think "WTF dude?"
