Bathroom Etiquette

For some reason, while in the bathroom (a public one) really funny things happen. Like people texting and all you can hear is their little fingers typing away on the phone (is that sanitary??), or even a conversation on the cell phone - yet you can hear the "plop" of a deposit in the toilet (can the other person on the phone can hear it if I can?) or the person of someone bursting through the door, panting, like they are about to pee their pants and are in a weird sort of pain. Yes, bathrooms are hilarious.

Awhile back our HR lady sent this out to all of us females because apparently there were some issues with bathroom etiquette. I don't know why I think this is so funny. Maybe it's the word "paratroopers."

Flush Flush Flush until all your friends are gone!

If you are the cause of a clog, and you KNOW if you are, kindly take it upon yourself to first, attempt to correct it; and secondly, report it!

Wash your hands, that's where disease comes from.

It is polite to pull down paper towels for the other person in the restroom with you. This also invites them to wash their hands.

Please inform your friends if they have tucked in their skirts, tissue hanging from their feet, or paratroopers hanging from their noses.

Tidy up. No one wants to navigate around your mess. Yes, there are usually janitors, but a.) it’s rude to make them pick up your stinky tp, and b.) until they come in, your office mates are forced to use a bathroom that is filthy. Throw away your trash, wipe up excess water on the countertops, and no sprinkles on the seats.

Cover up your stink. Bring in an air deodorizer to keep in the bathroom, and spray liberally.

Treat it better than your bathroom at home. Perhaps you don’t mind your own mess, have no issues with going unflushed, fling water around the room like you’re having a personal water fight, but in an office environment, be respectful. Keep the place nice for others, if not yourself.

Lastly, CHECK BEHIND YOU WHEN YOU'RE DONE.

Could YOU use this bathroom?? It's a painted floor.
