Welcome to the first in an ongoing series of blogs that will deal with my saltiness and things that are generally annoying.
Today’s salt goes out to the A-hole who was in the bathroom last week. It’s bad enough that we have to sit that close together as we do our business, but do you really have to talk on the phone while you are dumping? I heard the conversation “What’s for dinner honey?” Are you kidding me? That can wait. Would it be too much to ask to follow a few little bathroom etiquette guide lines? So for the sake of the rude people out there here is a short list of rules.
1. If at all possible, leave an empty stall between you and someone else. One stall minimum but if more are available put as much land between us as possible.
2. No wandering eyes. There are only a few things you need to see when in the bathroom and none of them are on me.
3. Keep to yourself; I really don’t want to talk with another guy with my pants around my ankles. We are not women and this isn’t a social event.
4. No color commentary. If you walk into a bathroom that has obviously been wrecked just shut up and do what you need to. There is no need to hear “Whew, what died in here?”
5. Courtesy flush!!! If the burrito you had for dinner is killing you, imagine what the stench is doing to the rest of us.
6. Flush the toilet and make sure it’s all gone before you exit the stall. I’m not interested in seeing your disgusting remains when I come in to do my business.
7. Wash your hands!!! I don’t care if you want to or not. We all have to leave from the same door, and I really don’t want to touch a nasty handle on my way out.
This is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. If you have an item that didn’t make it onto this list please write a comment and add it.
