Sort of. I work in the web group, so I deal with supporting websites related to the Bohai project but that's about it.
I think it's weird when people keep going on with their conversation while they're in the stalls. Lots of women do this. I guess if you're just there for #1 it's not quite as bad, but still... I think everyone should go about their business in as much silence and privacy as possible. Besides, what if someone else in the bathroom is there for more important business? She's probably going to feel awkward and wish you would go away. She might have to... ummm... hold it until everyone else leaves the premises. At least we don't have to take leaks in front of each other. I don't envy you guys having to do that. It sounds strange. And I don't know why women go to the bathroom in packs. Now, if you're high school age and you're all out in a group, they might be doing that so they can talk about the guys while they're in there. But this is kind of juvenile behavior. If they do go in groups, though, the conversations take place in the outer part, around the mirrors and sinks. Not back there in the stalls.
I don't know if this is classified as a disease or not... But I physically cannot take a leak at a urinal if there are people using the urinal to the side of me, or someone waiting behind me. Its pretty embarassing when I walk up to one of 2 urinals at the office and a guy is taking a leak while i hold my massive weiner in my hand waiting for me to physically urinate until he walks away. The worst is when I'm in midstream, and someone approaches a urinal next to me, and my pissing just physically stops. Ooh, that hurts... especially since I can't control it. Ugh.
Something happened the other day at work that I need to bring up to our resident bbs female. The womens rest rooms here at my office appear to have two seperate rooms. The first room you walk into has a couch (i assume for women to adjust their pantyhose?) and then a door from there leads to the room with toilets/sinks, etc. Well there is a womens room right outside of my office, and a couple days ago I happened to glance that way when the door opened. I was shocked to see a lady sitting on the couch reading a book! Would that be considered strange if you saw that? I just cant imagine anyone wanting to hang out on the couch in the stinky restroom to read a book.
One funny thing to do when you're pissing next to someone at a urinal is to pretend like you're looking over and say "Wow! You're even bigger than me!!" A friend of mine did this at a pool hall once. We had to get him outta there FAST!
Funny you mention that. Last year, I was in the music building at CU washing my hands in the restroom when all of a sudden I heard a cell phone ring and a voice from the stall behind me say, "Uh....dude....can I call you back later?" Why not just let it go to voice mail?
If there's plenty of space, or a door or large partition between the couch part and the serious restroom part, no, that isn't strange. The "stinky" part is contained on the other side of the door. I've worked in places that had that kind of setup and really comfortable couches. It is tempting to spend your break there. Now, if it's all contained together in one little tiny area, that's a different matter. You may have heard my stories about the girl who ate her lunch sitting on top of a counter in a very small restroom at UT... right across from the stalls. Now THAT is disgusting.
yeah, our bathroom at work is the same way with 2 doors and the first one leads to a bench. i have sat there before to deal with the pain of my monthly visit but i don't go hang out there. at the malls, the macy's, foleys and nordstrom's bathrooms all have that as well and ppl do sit there to talk on the phone, relax, etc after making a pit stop. i don't know about reading a book during work tho.
The funny thing is when I posted that, the only thing I could think was that KingCheetah would post the "Unlikely" image... but you beat him to it. I can see the future apparently, but its somewhat cloudy.
Classic drapg... classic. Anywho, I didn't like peeing with someone else in the restroom during high school because my urine is high velocity and loud. Now, I don't care.
I dont see whats wrong with it.....but I have done it once to mess with a bunch of people at the business school bathrooms at UT. There was someone in the stall between ours. So my friend says out loud "lets play extereme battle ****." So I inquire about the game and he says, "well I wipe, and then throw towards you to try to hit you. Then you tell me whether it hit you or went into another stall and then you fire back." Less than 10 seconds later, that guy was out of that stall.
I've had this problem before, and still do at times. you feel embarrased that you can't go in front of others, so you feel the pressure to have to go, which makes you think too hard and not go. but once I'm in mid-stream the pressure is gone.
I've tried the flushing to start the urine stream when someone uses a urinal next to me. I flush 2 or 3 times in a row and always get funky looks. Sometimes a trickle starts, but stops within nanoseconds.
