The Gun Counter

Gentlemen,
I remind you that this isn't a public restroom frequented by strangers, it's a restroom on a secure floor of a secure building, and as such the vast majority of the people who share it with you are your co-workers, people you see and interact with daily.

Note that there are six uninals on the wall, that means that three men are capable of using those fixtures at one time while still maintaining a buffer between them. There is little reason for using a stall for stand-up purposes. Still, if you need to do so, please raise the seat. I don't care if you lower it when you're finished, but please raise it. I wipe the seat before placing my anatomy on it, since I know that sometimes things get out of hand, but I don't expect that the seat will look like the focal point of a training excercise for the fire department's rapid response team for commode fires. Seriously, that much fluid on a hard surface defies the laws of hydro-dynamics.

Lastly, I've noticed that a goodly number of you simply refuse to wash your hands upon completion of your bodily functions. Our restroom is equiped with running water, soap and paper towels, there's only one excuse for the failure to wash your hands: you're a slob. Since I must now touch the same doorknob (with my freshly-washed hands) as you touched with your unwashed hands I find this offensive. Therefore, if you simply refuse to wash your hands kindly do not touch the doorknob. I suggest that you wait patiently for someone else to enter or exit the restroom, catch the open door with your foot, and exit that way. Alternately, feel free to exit the restroom via the window. Yes, I realize we're on the fifth floor, that will lead to a reduction in this issue.

Yeah, I probably won't post it, but I'd like to.

I can't tell you how many times I've wanted to post the same message.

Ugh. Don't get me started. My favorite is when someone leaves their makeshift toilet paper ass gasket there when they're done.

what i dont understand is the wiping of boogers on the walls in public bathrooms... what the hell is up with that shit?

that is all

I posted the following sign at work above the toilet: RAISE SEAT BEFORE PISSING

Seems to be working.......

So, you think the men's rooms are bad???

During college, I worked as a bouncer at a club. The worst part of the night was cleaning the shitters after closing. Invariably, the women's room was a disgusting mess that would make a pig vomit. ALL of the toilets were clogged and there was piss everywhere. Not to mention the used tampons and such... Dozens of beer bottles and broken glasses were littered all over the sinks, floor and toilets.

If a crapper got backed up in the men's room, most of the time we could count on a patron telling us so it could be remedied quickly. I don't ever recall that happening regarding the women's room.

At a former company someone on my floor (never found out who) would create his "barrier" by making a cross-hatch of TP right over the hole in the seat, he'd go about 20 layers thick with it. He'd then do his business right thru the layers of TP (since he'd covered the hole), and leave it there. One day he must have had intestinal problems because all four stalls were useless to anyone else because of him.

I've used port-o-sans at Civil War re-enactments that were cleaner than some mens rooms I've used in Corporate America.

club i worked at, we never had much problem with the ladies room... course it was a gay club... the mens room could get downright toxic...

at one point we started seeing these glass cylinders on the floor after closing but couldnt figure out what they were... eventually we caught someone with one that was full of powder... turns out they were filled with Ketamine and being used as suppositories....

<old techie joke>
Three systems engineers were at a conference. During a break, the three used the men's room.

The first one finished his business at the urinal, and washed his hands. He made a great show of using a dozen paper towels to dry his hands, and exclaimed, "At IBM, they teach us to be thorough!"

The second engineer finished, and washed his hands. He made a show of carefully drying his hands with only one paper towel, and said, "At HP, they teach us to be efficient!"

Both engineers waited for the third man. The last man finished, and walked right by the other two engineers. He stopped at the door, looked back at the other two, and said, "At Sun, they teach us not to piss on our hands!"
