Office Restroom

[jepuskar]

Ok, I'm liberal when it comes to bodily functions...they are funny in most situations and when you know the person well enough to be comfortable around them its hilarious....but even at work in the most appropriate place for this kind of behavior...the restroom, I am amazed how people are.

We have four stalls and a couple urinals....but there are alot of people on my floor so the chances of being alone is very slim....I figure there are two kinds of people in the world...those who dont give a crap (pun intended) who is around and those who do.

Me? I try and be as quiet as possible when taking care of business..even though I'm in the bathroom and its natural I just dont feel like sharing what im doing with others in the general vicinity...

But with others it sounds like a musical is going on. Get a couple stalls filled up and ohh boy....we got the trombones, clarinets, flutes, harmonicas, drums, and trumpets all seemingly in sync.

And at other times its like a moment of silence..a break in the musical....where nobody flinches or clinches, grunts, moans, or breathes...

But hey, its the mens room....I wonder what goes on in the ladies room...hmmmm

It does make uncomfortable to hear the "Aaaaahhhh" or "Gosh, that feels good" in with the other symphony of sounds.

Some people sound like they are dying all breathing heavy etc.....this one guy a couple weeks ago....my goodness the sounds coming out of that stall....he had to be sick or something...it just not right.

It's no different in the women's restroom except you have to fight your way past the women preening themselves in front of the mirror to wash your hands at the sink.

Man, I was hoping it would be different in the womens restroom.....I thought it smelled like flowers and cotton candy in there....

I'm uncomfortable going into restrooms with attendants as well. I would think just outside might be a bit better. I don't need a shot of cologne when I'm done thank you.

I think women are quieter ... except for the spin of the TP roll. They utter expletives if the TP doesn't roll smoothly.

I have pretty much decided that very very soon I am going to toss a snicker bar into the stall next to me when someone is being loud.

Or....I'll stand up and say..ohh man, why is there soo much blood.

I take marbles with me sometimes.. keep them in my pocket for those times when a restroom is busy.. then I hit a stall with a toilet and drop the marble in... "blooop!" then the sound of the marble hitting ceramic... then the rolling sound followed by me saying "oh... my glass eye!" The silence... sometimes nervous laughter.

Pop a Baby roof under the stall next door instead - it's more life like than a snickers bar.

Puking noises followed by a can of ham and bean soup is another really effective strategy that is guarenteed to get feet off the floor, although it is something I am pretty sure the cleaning staff does not enjoy.

I love the glass eye idea - I really hate it when I strain so hard my eye pops out. You should do it twice then ask for someone to help you find them.

And I have to admit I have never been comfortable going in places with attendents - it just is not right - especially when you feel obligated to tip them after your performance.
