In a conversation a little while back a colleague mentioned that he’d heard someone having a conversation in the bathroom. Like not at the basin, but actually in the stall, on the throne … This is one thing that really makes me cringe. I’m quite sure the person you’re talking to can tell? How do you explain the flushing noises? “No hunny, I’m not on the toilet, it’s just raining outside”?
As for office toilet etiquette I’d go as far as to say that I would never talk from the stall. Not even if I’m conversing merrily with someone as we walk together towards the toilets. Once that stall door in closed, I’m zipped. Even when someone I know walks in, talking to someone else I know, and I have something I’d really like to add to the conversation? I bite my tongue. When I’m done in the loo, washing my hands at the basin I can say my piece, but not till the other person it out their stall.
And people who don’t wait to check that everything flushed cleanly before they leave? My all time worst. I actually thought the Biscuit’s automated flushing device in Ally McBeal was a great idea. Anyone know where I could get me one of those?
