I hear you on the buffer rule. I always try to leave one empty stall between me and whoever else is in there taking a dump. I also cannot stand to see a toilet that has not been flushed and same goes for a urinal. I didn't come to the bathroom to see your piss and/or poo. I will admit, though (surprise, surprise) that I love to do bathroom humor type things to the guys on my floor such as talking to them while I am on the pot and they are at the sink or other gross, off the wall stuff. The other day this one guy was at the urinal and I said hello to him and he gave me his usual greeting of, "Hey Manny, what's up?" I immediately said to him, "Doing good as I just unloaded a huge dump!" He frowned and told me, "I wish I hadn't said anything."
since everyone is sharing their stories, heres mine: when i used to work at the mall, i once got brutalized by a couple of cops right after i got done taking a dump. as soon as i walked out of the stall, they both started yelling "Who do you claim?" I had no idea what they were talking about, and they continued to yell the same thing over and over again right in my face. they then started patting me down, searching my pockets. they said because i took such a long time, they thought i was spraying/writing gang signs on the walls of the stall and they were looking for markers/spray paint cans in my pockets.
Dude, that is messed up...I hope that doesn't happen to me as I always take a long time. I always believe in doing things right the first time!!!!
Mine is ok, but there is the occasional very bad days...At least once a week...We share our floor with another company, a law office, so I blame them as there are only about 8 guys in our office... When I worked at a large international company, the bathrooms there were terrible...crap on the floor, walls, etc (no pun intended)...a bunch of kids out of college, etc, but there were also a lot of foreigners...Not sure who the culprit was, but man it sucked...
My office restroom pet peeve: The a-holes who pick their nose and wipe it on the wall above the urnial or ****ter. I mean, you're in a freakin' restroom. USE SOME TOILET PAPER AND THROW IT AWAY, JERKS! If that were in a public place it would be one thing, but doing it at your own office is sick. I hate to think what their house looks like.
When I was at Reliant, we had the nastiest bathroom ever. They built this giant trade floor for 100s of employees, most of which are men, and of course there are only 8 crappers. Then they provide this low-end coffee that gives you instant runs. Plus they gave out unlimited free sodas, so everyone's getting juiced up on caffeine and dropping dueces at 10am and 2pm. For some reason the ventilation system was all jacked, I swear it was on recycle, so I felt like I was breathing aged ass fumes when I went in....which was almost never. At Goldman, we have swanky johns with self flushing toilets, hands-free faucets, and little machines that spray nice smells every once in a while. I could hang out there and just read the paper.....in fact, I do.
Never took a dump in a public toilet. Not once in my whole lifetime. I need home court advantage or its just not happening.
Nasty ass bathrooms in my office building, but I think that has to do with the building being so freaking old and the owners not caring. I avoid using them unless it is absolutely necessary.
Before I got transfered and had no phone responsabilites, after a long night of staying out I would go to the toilet and catch a few z's. It was clean, and nobody knew I was in there.
