So before I left for lunch today, I went to the restroom to take a piss. I noticed when I walked in that there was someone in a stall doing his business. Now, as I understand it, you should wait for the pissing person (me) to leave before you exit the stall, as to avoid an uncomfortable situation/conversation. Well this guy (who works in my building, but does not know me by name or anything) doesn't live by that code. As I'm pissing I hear him flush, then I hear a jingling belt buckle followed by a second flush. I try to hurry, but as I'm finishing my business and walking to the sink to wash my hands, I hear the stall open and I know I'm too late. He walks around me to the other side of the sink and runs his hands under the water. No eye contact has been made. I'm trying desperately to hit the exit. Seconds later I hear him ask "So how are you doing today?" Customarily, I respond with "I'm doing pretty good. How about yourself?" His response? "Better now..." I just turned and walked out (I mean, what am I to say? "Oh, well congratulations on your bowel movement"?)
On that note, I was talking with a co-worker today and was wondering, why don't office/public restrooms have a) Air freshner and/or b) Exhaust fans? Seriously, am I missing something here? This is why I never go for 2 other than at my house.
what if you really had to? do you just hold it? don't your nipples get hard and skin gets goosebumps? too much info?
Too much info, but if I have to go, I'll go and attempt to follow the rules outlined in the opening post of this thread, mainly for the sake of my own embarassment rather than the courtesy of others who don't wish to subject themselves to awkwardness of the situation.
All I can say is that I feel pretty damn good after taking a dump. But I would have waited, were I him.
seriously CCR don't overanalyze it.. no one should ever "wait for the pissing person" before leaving.. however, when the guy got out and washed his hands, he shouldn't have said anything if he didn't know you.. that's just creepy ..
After he said "better now", I just woulda laughed and said I know what you mean man, haha, or something like that.
flush the toilet multiple times, when thou feces hit thy water. we have plenty of water to waste anyways.
So, what's the big deal about going #2 at work? Seriously, I used to avoid it like the devil, but, nowadays, I don't care. If I have to go, I have to go. Etiquette is followed of course.
I don't see what the problem is other than him saying "Better now" but that's just crude humour that is done by some guys. Why get freaked out by it? Are you a germophobe or something?
i wish some dudes were a bit more discreet when they hop on the john. i mean, i know you gotta take a ****, i just don't need to hear your ass explode.
Usually if I'm goin 2 and theres someone in the bathroom like in the urinal I try to take my time and wait till they leave. Just as I would hurry up and GTFO if someone was there goin 2 while I'm pissing. So I understand.
Well that's pretty much my point. I actually don't find it that strange for someone to crack a joke like that, but I thought under the circumstances it was awkward and funny. He's someone who I've seen just about every day for almost a year and a half but have never had a conversation with because we work in different departments. Just didn't figure that would be the first thing we ever spoke about lol.
sorry, never heard about the etiquette to wait in the stall, so as to not make anyone uncomfortable. What if another person comes in? Wait again? I think the code is the dude in the stall is probably embarrassed by any smell he might be emitting, so he doesn't want to give up his identity. didn't realize the guy at the urinal wants the dude at the stall to remain unknown, too.
No, you've got it right. It's to save face of the #2'er, not the #1'er. All I'm saying is that if he lived by that code, then he wouldn't have been at the sink with me to make his comment. The way I worded it originally made it sound the other way.
