I'm surprised no one has mentioned this yet. One of creepiest feelings in the world is to drop down on a public toilet and find it warm.

Maybe the best thing about the current job - private bathroom!

Full of Porsche posters too

I believe it was George Carlin who said:

"Sitting on a warm toilet seat is gross... except when a hot chick was in the bathroom before you."

or something like that...

I work in an office of 10 other women so I have some dealings with the issue. I have one employee that EVERY day uses it for a deuce the first thing in the morning. She is the one always concerned about our toilet paper allotment and starts panicking when the mega bundle from Costco is down to a dozen or so rolls. Couldn't you just change your schedule a bit and get up 15 minutes earlier so your call is at home? Feel like I work at a Starbucks!

The joke is they are peeing off the side of a bridge...
"Brrrr. Water's cold."
"Deep too!"

I think wolves would be insulted to be associated with that special breed that foul up airport restrooms.

Stand closer. It's not as long as you think.

This toilet paper is 400-grit sandpaper!

Warm seat is -- the unkind seat. Seriously, I don't care what just got done on that seat, but, oh god please, let that seat be as cold as if it had been empty for 1000 years... Cold seat - I'm OK...

I'm okay with a warm seat. Really. All of this stuff is no big deal.

Janet, I'm guessing the thing about a woman in a stall waiting until the bathroom is empty is because she doesn't want to become the subject of gossip like, "Wow, you should have heard what we heard in the bathroom today; Carol might be a tiny little thing, but she was bringing the thunder in that stall. Groaning, too. Must've been epic."

On the handwashing thing, something I had never thought of until seeing Johnny Depp on Letterman one night. Somehow, the subject turned to those bowls of peanuts you see on the bar at some establishments. Depp said he never indulged. Letterman asked why. Depp said, "Because they've done studies and determined that very few people wash their hands after using the bathroom."

We had a guy in our office at the newspaper that was very gay and would not use the mens room. He would only use the ladies room. It made the office manager crazy, although the "real" girls were basically OK with it. They would just wait him out as it was a one person facility.

After sitting in an Army latrine with a bunch of guys passing toilet paper to each other, not much can phase me when it comes to rest rooms.

But... the cell phone in the stall thing irks the hell out of me. I'll go out of my way to flush as many times as i can

We often call our office the monster garage. All guys working here. A good burp or fart is not something that should be stifled.

Oh man, now I want to try that.


What's the difference between the toilet paper here, and sandpaper? Sandpaper is smooth on one side.

My wife will make me drive 20 miles to avoid a Port-a-potty. Personally, I'd rather go in the woods! I think she would as well.
