So let me ask something.... How many of you have a favorite stall at work to go to the bathroom in? And the second part of this questions.. How many of you get confussed when you go to the bathroom and your "favorite" stall is being used... Don't you stop and think like 'uhhhhh what do I do?"....LOL A lot of people have a routine and go at certain times of the day for so many times of the day as well. And then when they go to the bathroom, "their stall" is used and they get confused....lol

    No way!!! I posted this same thing on Facebook about a year ago!!! LOL. I definitely have a favorite stall and it aggravates me when it is "stolen" by some bystander. It should have my nameplate on it or something. I guess I'm as territorial as my dog. heehee

    I have access to the "Handi-crapper" which is its own separate bathroom. There are no handicapped people in our company so it is given to the people in my area. I can no longer use the main room and get very confused when the room is occupied. ITS MINE! lol

    I hate my work bathroom. There are two stalls. The handicapped stall feels too big, and the small stall is ridiculously tiny and the door doesn't latch.

    Also, my coworkers are disgusting. I really hate them whenever I have to go to the bathroom.

    I keep a bucket under my desk. The cleaning lady empties it on Wednesdays. It's more efficient that way.

    My office is small enough that our bathroom only has one stall. Makes the decision easy. :D

    ...of course it also leads to those awkward moments where you walk into the bathroom, someone's already in the stall, and you just sort of wash your hands and slip out, hoping they didn't hear the door.

    I have OCD's so I have to use the office stall. Of course I can use others but the others don't stock a disinfectant and it then requires me to build an eagles nest of TP or hover.

    lol....that would be easier, but the health department gets all upset about things like that in restaurants. Don't know why, I mean, its a natural product, isn't it?

    LOL. I don't have a favorite, but I am very obsessive about using public bathrooms. I check EVERY SINGLE stall to see which is the cleanest before I use one. It's made me realize how disgusting people are! Ugh! Hate nasty bathroom stalls! :angry:

    I have no favorite stall. I don't. At all. I use whatever's unoccupied - I prefer one unoccupid on all sides. But one of my co-workers asked this at lunch and when I said that I didn't two other co-workers piped up, "No way you always use the middle stall!"
    I work with serious creepers.

    I shouldn't get started, I have serious workplace bathroom issues.

    I used to have a favorite stall but then the director of the library agreed to have instillation art in there. Imagine my surprise when I go in at my normal time to see a TREE in my favorite stall. ( I couldn't even open the door all the way) I then saw a note about invasive plants and raising awareness. I was irate. I even wrote angry letters, but the artist just replied that that was the point, for people to feel like their space had been invaded like the houses and other plants that vines grow on. UGGHHH, the tree is still there so now I climb two flights of stairs and walk to the other end of the building because I refuse to go in there until the tree is taken down.

    I know, I know, that is a bit neurotic of me but its a TREE.

    I mentioned something about experiences with Johnson Grass, and that I didn't need more education, but I don't think the artist or my director cared.... stupid tree:grumble:

    I do have a favorite; the handicapped stall. It's roomy, and has another stall on only one side. What gets me is....we have 5 stalls. So when I'm in there alone, in my favorite stall, then somebody else comes in...WHY do they choose the stall right next to me? There are 4 to choose from, but they pick the one right beside an occupied stall? :huh:

    There is a bathroom that is practically hidden. I walk across the building to use it.

    Some might appreciate a per-warmed seat. Not me. i think...yeah...man *kitten* has been here very recently. Not good.

    Oh yeah!!! I hate it when someone thinks they have to occupy the stall next to "MINE" when there are clearly several other free stalls.

    The worst is when you make eye contact with them as you pass them going into the bathroom. Then you sit down and you know who's heat you are feeling.

    Its like going to the movie theater... You sit in the middle with 100 seats in front of you to chose from, and they sit in the row right infront of you and the seat right there in front. Its like really? all these damn seats, and you had to sit right friggin there?!!/?...lol

    Definitely!!! Mainly because the stalls where I go either have creaking doors, no purse hangers, no locks...very trashy. But my big stall...MINE!!!! When it's taken, I go hunt my other favorite big stall.

    I once read that the cleanest stall is the first one (closest to the door) because so few people like to use that one. I always go for that one now. Makes public washrooms a little bit less scary.

    I have a favorite stall! And it bugs me when someone's in it. It also bugs me when someone goes into the stall directly beside me when the other ones are empty. Makes me feel like we're peeing directly beside each other.

    I also have a favorite pump at the gas stations I go to. And a favorite parking spot at work...etc. And get annoyed when they are taken.

    Hmmm...it appears I have a false sense of entitlement/ownership of some things in my life LOL.
