Is there an unwritten rule that if you are in the bathroom at work that you must make your presence known you hear someone else walk in?

I went in to wash up, and it became a cough fest, and foot shuffle routine as I opened the door
 
yep - that always happens around here too. :confused:
 
I'll tell you why this is a good idea, monkeyboy.....I went into the restroom here at work one time, took care of my business, washed my hands, and then, as always, turned off the light as I walked out.......turns out there was someone else in there, but she was so quiet, I had assumed I was alone. Luckily I heard her startled "Hey!" as I walked away, and turned the light back on for her. (This is particularly important for men, because while women can pee in the dark with relatively little problem, I'm willing to bet more than one fella's aim would suffer if the lights went out.)

I think it's so you'll think twice before you stink up the place. :eek:

What Kind Of Farter Are You?

Vain: You love the smell of your own farts.

Amiable: You love the smell of other people's farts.

Proud: You think your farts are exceptionally fine.

Shy: You release silent farts and then blush.

Impudent: You boldly fart out loud and then laugh.

Unfortunate: You try really hard to fart, but you poop instead.

Scientific: You fart regularly but you're concerned about pollution.

Nervous: You stop in the middle of your fart.

Honest: You admit that you farted but offer good medical reasons.

Dishonest: You fart and then blame the dog.

Foolish: You suppress your farts for hours.

Thrifty: You always keep a couple of good farts in reserve.

Anti-Social: When the need arises, you excuse yourself from the room and fart in private.

Strategic: You fart and then conceal it with loud coughing.

Sadistic: You fart in bed and then pull the cover up over your partner's head.

Intellectual: You can determine from the smell of any fart exactly what food item had been consumed.

Athletic: You fart at the slightest exertion.

Miserable: You would love to let one out, but you are unable to fart.

Sensitive: You fart and then start crying.

and the problem is?
 
Rippington'sFan is that the daily poll?

:rotfl: :rotfl:
 
I have no idea why I found the whole "fart" post to be SO funny, usually I am grossed out about that topic but I haven't stopped laughing since I read it. Thanks for the chuckle.
 
I do construction work so we mainly have porta-potties. You always knock before opening the door since many apparently don't know how to lock the door. I didn't realize it was rocket science but I really don't want to disturb anyone doing their business. :eek:

A restroom at my former employers had a motion detector instead of a light switch, set to turn off after 2 minutes of no motion. Of course, it couldn't see into the stalls, so if you used a stall during a non busy time, the lights would go out on you after 2 minutes. I got used to carrying things to toss over the stall walls to trigger the motion detector if I thought I might need a stall for longer than that.

heh. my old workplace was like that too. :crazy:
 
I either strive for total silence, if I think I'll still be in there when the person leaves, or I make a racket when someone new comes in. I don't want to scare them by making an unexpected noise or by throwing open the stall door while they were making faces at the mirror thinking they were alone, or whatever like that.

Another question women will relate to: can you be "first pee-er"? You know when you go into the bathroom with friends, you all enter stalls, maybe you're all still carrying on a conversation ... are you self conscious about the noise of being first pee-er? Do you basically need someone else to start first? We were discussing this in a club on Saturday night and it was just absolutely hilarious.

I also strive to total silence in the bathroom. It drives me nuts when someone comes in.

However, I have to wait for someone else to be the first pe-er (typed peer and it didn't look right! :p ) if they continue the conversation in the bathroom.

THat happens a ton at school. If I am talking to someone and its a class break, some/most love to continue the conversation in the stall. Personally, I don't like it, and won't initiate a convo in the stally, but if someone talks to me, I will talk back!
