Bathrooms

Public washrooms are gross and disgusting at the best of times. Workplace bathrooms are ugly on a whole other level. Not only do they fall under the public washroom category, but you ‘know’ the people who are using them.

How do you chat with someone by the photocopier after knowing they just desecrated the bathroom. What do you do when someone holds a door open for you when you know that they don’t wash their hands? How do you look a manager in the eye after hearing the guys talk about how he corners them for meetings when they are standing at the urinal. What do people think after sitting in the stall next to you?

I hate using the washrooms at work.

I try to space it out and go at ‘off’ times. Or stop at a random bathroom when I need to walk to another building.

Right now, the bathrooms on our floor are under construction. So the one on the floor above us is seeing double traffic. To make things worse this morning, the one above us was being cleaned, so I had to go up an additional floor – triple duty! Now that is just gross.
