Bathroom Etiquette

dcornwe

Seeing how Im in the bathroom peeing so much now that they have given me my own stall I thought I would share some common sense

1. a courtesy flush is always appreciated
2. when you flush, make sure EVERYTHING goes down
3. I really dont need to hear your phone conversation, Im sure the other person doesnt need to hear you pee
4. please leave all food and drinks in the break room or at your desk... its just gross


and personally for me, please dont brush your teeth in a public bathroom, gross, gross, gross

I have one.....

Don't throw (insert anything that comes into your mind) on the floor in the bathroom stall. That's why there is a toliet and a trash dispenser in the stall.

Thank you,
Ebbs

so guess you're not a fan of "If it's yellow, let it mellow; if it's brown, flush it down!"

Thank You!!! This just made my day. I'm sitting at my desk eating my lunch when I read this and I swear I think I spit diet coke out of my nose.

I work in an office with 3 other girls we have one bathroom. One of the women comes in at 11 to wrk til 8. As soon as she comes in she goes to the bathroom. It's aweful and goes at least three more times before I go home. I seriously think she could do her first #2 before she comes to our office.

Thanks for sharing!

disagree here.
nothing gross about people having good personal hygiene.
luckily at my office, we have a more or less private bathroom. theres room for 2 people, but we have locks so you get the bathroom to yourself.

I"m a big fan of the rule: maintenance guy don't come to our building where there are 5 ladies sharing a bathroom to drop your daily post lunch duce. seriously, not cute.

Can I add: If the bathroom has more than 3 stalls and its just you and another person in there, how about you give some personal space and try not to take the stall directly next to the other person! I hate if I am in there doing my thing and someone comes in and out of the 20 stalls takes the one directly next to me! I dunno why, but it just bugs me!

+1 on that. Certainly better to brush your teeth in the public bathroom than to not brush your teeth!

The thing that bother me almost as much as pee on the toilet seat are the women WHO DON'T WASH THEIR HANDS after they use the toilet. Ew!!! *

When I read the articles that phones, keyboards and wallets are just as germy as toilet handles, I know whose fault that is.





* 1 second of rinsing the back of your hand doesn't count.

This bugs me too! Or, the first stall they try to enter is the one you're in. I always do a "foot check" to avoid nearly barging in on someone (or slamming myself into the locked door!).

I also don't mind people brushing their teeth in the bathroom (as long as there's more than one sink so they aren't hogging it). When I had braces, I was in the office bathroom brushing my teeth all the time!

Men are different we just pee on the toilet , the floor and leave.

It gives me shivers every time I see that.

I've seen guys go to the urinals, but coffee mug on the floor next to their feet and go to town.

The worse was in a movie theater and a guy came in with a large popcorn and large soda and was trying to do some kind of balancing act at the urinals.

Apparently these guys have never heard of "splash".

Seriously, it is so gross to see someone just walk out without washing their hands - I used to work with a woman who did that and I could never look at her the same way afterwards....

I can imagine that would be really unfortunate, haha. But if she's going that often, it could be a medical thing - maybe IBS or something?

And while we all appreciate friendly co-workers, don't comment on someone's shoes, pedicure, etc. while they're in the bathroom stall. That's just awkward.
