Funny/curious Bathroom etiquette

[Angelhalo]

Why do people feel the need to look through the cracks in the stalls while they are waiting or washing their hands? Do they expect to see something they've never seen before? I just came back from the restroom. Walked in, and took the first stall. The second stall was occupied. When she came out, she went to the sink to wash her hands. I see her look at the crack of my door in the mirror then she goes back to washing her hands. A couple seconds later she looks through my door crack AGAIN, and this time we make eye contact. So I said, "Can I help you?" She went running out the door.

Why do people look in on other trying to use the restroom???

Maybe she was looking for her child??? I usually just yell out her name....

She must have been mortified when you said that! Good for you. I never got why people look through the door cracks..it's creepy!! I have been known to look for feel under the stall though

OMG, there's a woman in my office who does this too! It's a running joke in here. She's a bit odd, and she will only use one of the eight stalls in the women's room. If you're in "her" stall, first she'll push on the door (so you'd better be sure it's locked). Then if it's locked, she'll literally put her eye RIGHT UP to the crack in the door. What does she think, someone locked in and then crawled out another door?

It happened to me the other day and I yelled "Easy, Bernadette it's not a peep show!" She backed off and waited by the sinks for me to come out.

I'll check under a stall to see if its occupied. The only time I look thru the cracks of the door is when one of my daughters is in there, and I check to see what the heck is taking them so long. Thats weird though. Hilarious that you said something to her too!

I also will check under the stall. I hate doing so, since I do not like getting down on the floor on my back and then wiggling my way along the floor so my head goes under the stall door.

If she EVER did that to me, I'd smile and say "Breakfast burritos, you don't eat them you rent them" and let loose.

I dont' know why people do that. We have people at work who do it also.

OMG!


My chest hurts from holding in my laugh, here at work. Thanks! I love a good giggle!

What a weirdo!

I love bathrooms with real, honest to goodness - doors! Love 'em!

Years and years ago, when we'd drive to Florida, I knew Flying J's always had door bathrooms. I always held out for them.

Ahem....oh, tag fairy.......

I agree! Well said!

Maybe she was checking to see if someone was in there to know whether or not she washed her hands--and then went through the motions because you were in there.

 

[BCV513]

She stood in front of the sinks until I came out. Then she stormed into the stall and slammed the door. She really thinks none of us should be allowed to use her stall.

No kidding!!!

Angel's "Can I help you?" could be worthy, as well.

I don't get it.

Oh man, not to be gross (maybe just a little) I would cackle inwardly as she would exit the stall really fast, a grimace on her face after I used the bathroom. Me 1 Peeper 0.

A thread that I should not have opened...

Both of these have me laughing so hard I'm crying...

Thanks!
