    I try to remember to put the seat back down if I'm working with women.

    Good on you, but don't you have separate toilets for men and women where you work?

    I arrive at my desk at 9:05 EST and I leave my desk at 4:55 EST. I have my headphones in all day. I don't eat, I don't speak, I don't even do any work. I sure as hell don't urinate or defecate.

    Assuming that was meant to be sarcasm. But if you're working 9:00 til 5:00, arriving at 9:05 means there are people there before you, and you'd be expected to say Hello or Good Morning when you come in. When you leave 5 minutes early, there are still others there, so you'd be expected to say Goodbye or Good Evening as you pass them on the way out.

    tony are you an accountant?

    He's just very concerned about everyone's bathroom greeting habits

    The original topic is about "bathroom greeting habits" but hellvee seems to be saying he doesn't even interact with anyone else around his desk!!

    I usually avert eye contact. I try really hard to not think about it...thanks, because now that is all I can think about!

    Since you brought it up tho I think about their hygiene mostly, if they wash their hands properly, if not what they are touching around the office that I may touch, where their hands have been. Toilet handles and taps...gross.

    My answer isn't based on gender even tho your question was.

    Dang straight it was!

    How do you know!

    I work with all women.


    Is a gym-like shower facility at your work? Please tell me there is!

    ok sure...of course there is! :lol:

    I have never felt uncomfortable before until I read this thread. Today was uncomfortable and avoided eye contact with any men going or coming from the men's room. Thank you for that OP

    Saw a lady I worked with. She stepped out of the bathroom and was walking away from me. The back of her dress was tucked into her pantyhose. I didn't like her, so I didn't tell her. But....I told everyone else.

    I once sniffed my fingers and wrinkled up my nose, but I didn’t like the person who was walking in behind me and wanted to annoy them.

    Do you not just use toilet paper like all other mortals...... or are accountants “special’?

    I work in a shared office space where I am the only female and there are seven men. We share a single bathroom. Every time I go in there, the toilet seat is covered in what looks like ash and little black curlies. I mean I’ve been in the bathroom at Target, so I know women can make a bathroom disgusting, but what is falling out of these guys’ cracks!

    Play them at their own game.... leave a baby sea lion floating in the bowl and only clean it up once they promise to clean up after themselves!

    Baby sea lions might be easy enough obtain in the UK but it’s surprisingly difficult here. I’ll see what I can do.

    The reference is metaphorical.... it’s not a real baby sea lion..... but it looks like a baby sea lion........
