Too Much Information
- Wade
I'm 27. That is to say, I've had extensive experience in public restrooms. Men's rooms, specifically. And to be honest? There are some odd things that go on in there. And because I'm working on being better at sharing (breaking those only-child tendencies), here are some of the funner things I've seen:
1. No-splash courtesy wash: After doing... well, whatever it is they do... some men go over to the sink, turn on the water for a brief moment, turn it off, and walk out. Without ever putting their hands into the stream of water. Which, I suppose, is better than...
2. No wash: Guys do their business and walk right out. Ballsy.
3. Literary man: Nothing's classier than seeing a guy walk into the men's room with a magazine rolled up in his back pocket. Perhaps at home, but do you really want to be hanging out longer in a work bathroom than you need to? A fun corollary: the "common" newspaper that gets left in the stalls for the next guy. How courteous.
4. Shiny choppers: Guys brush their teeth in the work bathroom. Extra credit for good dental habits, but I don't think I'd ever brush mine in the same room with other guys doing... their business. Maybe I'm a sally.
5. No-flush: No, these guys are sallies. They go to the urinal, use it, and then don't flush. Like *anyone* wants to use a non-flushed urinal!?! So the next person has to flush twice, all because the first guy didn't want to touch the flush handle. Please. This will show up on Wade's Top Five Pet Peeve gambit someday. Grr.
