Weird work bathroom incident...

[tmarquez]

Ok so I work in an office that's separated into 2 buildings with about 20 people in my building and maybe another 30 in the other.

In our building the ladies room has 3 regualr stalls. Today I walk in and head towards the stalls...and I hear this come from the furthest stall, "Oh darn...now I have to close the door.". What?! Yes, please do.

And to top it off, it was a lady that works in the other building. So I guess maybe her bathroom over there is too busy to use with the door open.

Oh, good grief! What are some people thinking !!! Maybe she's claustrophobic or something? But still. Common Courtesy, people!

Was the stall door really open? Just asking because you hear weird things but find out they are on the cell phone .. (which is a whole other thread)

 

[soccerchick]

was she on the phone?

I ran into the ladies room at Kohls today and a woman was on the phone w/her doctor. Okay, lady, whatever. Here's the flush... and the sink. They WILL know you are on the phone in the bathroom.

I have a weirder one.. in my work we have the old fashioned lounges with the couches and such. There is a group of old ladies that have a TV hooked up and they spend their lunch time eating (EWWW) and watching soap operas in the BATHROOM! To make that even worse, they "talk back" to the TV.. so you are going to the bathroom and you heard "Why you doing that?" "You know she's a cheater", "What a playa", and "uh uh uh you KNOW better than that"

Yikes!!

Unfortunately there few things that surprise me about people anymore...

For some unknown reason, when they built our new building they put the teacher's bathroom in the teacher's lounge. This wouldn't be that bad if the bathroom had a stall in it and the main door stayed closed. Instead the bathroom is the type where when you open the door there is just a toilet and sink. To make things worse, the bathroom is right next to the fridge and microwave. There's nothing worse than going into the lounge to heat up your lunch after someone has stunk up the bathroom.

Gross!!! At my last company, the bathrooms were right in the break room! It was so gross, to hear people "going" while eating lunch. They were the kind of bathroom where you open the door and it's just a toilet and sink. The doors literally opened into the kitchen/break room. You would be eating while listening to the toilet flush. You could always tell who washed their hands. While in the bathroom, you could hear the folks in the break room talking clear as a bell, so you KNEW they could hear you. I tried to avoid the bathrooms at lunch time.

Needless to say, I always ate at my work station.

That made me LOL!


I just started working from home and I tell people that the best part is my own bathroom! No one has peed on my foot at my house! (YES that happened to me at my office!! In a stall in the WOMEN'S bathroom)

 

[coolbeans]

too funny! i could have written that. where i work we have a ladies room with 3 stalls and any time i go to the bathroom i stop as soon as i walk in to "listen" for sounds, "look" for keys on the vanity before i proceed to the stall. nine times outta ten if someone is in there the stall door is open.... wierd, i honestly never thought i would hear about that anywhere but my job.

I had a woman in another Dept that would STAND ON THE TOILET and Pee! I wondered if that is how she peed at home.....she was fired a few months later.

I have heard that people from other cultures do that and I always wondered if they ever "fell in." You know, it seems like a good way to break an ankle. Just sayin...

Now I've heard everything! Did this woman only wear skirts/dresses? How could she pee while wearing pants? They would get all wet unless she took them totally off. Oh my!

 

[bumbershoot]

OP, was she changing clothes? When I workout at the Y and want to swap my workout shirt for a clean and dry shirt for the drive home (cloth seats in the car), I just hop into the restroom in the hallway on the way out, and will generally just pop into a stall and swap shirts. But if there's someone in there or someone comes in, I'll close the stall door.

Of course I've never SAID anything while closing the door, there's no need, they'd just assume I had just walked in.

I have never heard of standing on a toilet to go. That's my new one for the day. That sounds really tricky.

Ok first of all "standing on the toliet to pee" has me crying I am laughing so hard!

I would so fall in or off and break something if I tried to pee standing up, that would take some fricken talent

The good news is that after breaking your ankle (leg....whatever) because you fell while standing on the toilet seat to pee, you will easily be able to call 911 since you were chatting on the phone all the while.

Aaaahhhhh......A silver lining!

Why even announce it? Even if she had the door open for some reason, why not just...close it?!
