Going to the bathroom at work

[MChance]

I like the low level urinals for some reason.

[Danielos38]

There is nothing worse than going into the restroom and the only urinals available are the low boys! The longer the stream, the more chance of a splash.

No, no, no. You have to use the slope. It's like when your pouring a coke and you are trying not to get it to make the head so you tilt the glass sideways. But let's not get into details

Then there is the option of shooting for the slope so that it sounds like a gentle stream running down to the creek or aiming directly at the bottom so it sounds like all the gates are open at the Grand Cooley dam.

From what I have seen in unisex bathrooms, guys can't aim, so what's the point in even discussing this? The toilet was on the wall? Really?

I hope I never get too old to find bodily functions funny.

In a public restroom is it better to tp the seat or use the thin covers that are sometimes provided?

I prefer the toilet paper, its softer.

The urinals at my work are waterless. And right ontop of them at eye level is an essay of why waterless urinals are beneficial. Personally, I think it's kinda disgusting. But they're not like troughs. Apparently some aparatus inside holds the urine like a sponge. Then you replace it every month or something. I pity the fool who has that job!

How does that work for people who prefer to do #2 in the urinals?

I prefer roughin' it and going raw.

I'm quite sure there is ZERO chance of that ever happening to me, as my father still laughs like a 13 year old when someone, um... "breaks wind".

My dad still did until the day he died...at the age of 82.

Poop is just funny, people. I'm sorry.

I'm still pretty shy about using public bathrooms, so I get a kick out of those who walk right in, no hesitation, look you in the eye as you pass each other, (there's no eye contact allowed in the bathroom, right?) they actually say hello, then they head right into the first stall (why not use a stall a little further away from those of us at the urinals? Please?), and proceed to just let it all go, full throttle, with both naturally-occurring noises and vocalizations to punctuate the joy and pain they are apparently experiencing, with no worries whatsoever about who hears and sees and (sorry) smells everything going on. Sometimes they are even bold enough to walk in with newspaper in hand, apparently not worried/concerned/embarrassed about setting up camp in a public restroom at a financial institution.

Only in extreme emergencies, if I have no choice, I will use the last stall in the bathroom on the lower level of my building, and only after looking under the stalls to be sure no one else is in there, playing it quiet so they don't draw attention to themselves...the same way I prefer to handle my "business". If someone is in there, I wait...

Great thread. Notice how I avoided laughing at the use of the term "duties"...Thanks Chandler.

I never walk down the hall with a newspaper in hand. Everyone knows where you are going.

If there are three stalls and both end units are occupied and an empty handicap stall available, would you...

A) Use the handicap stall and feel bad about it
B) Use the handicap stall and feel nothing
C) Use the stall inbetween the two other people

I just chose B. It's not that I really feel neither good nor bad about it. I just hoped that when I exited, there was not a man in a wheelchair waiting for me. That'd be pretty bad.

Is it just me, or are the toilets in handicapped stalls set a little higher than in normal stalls? Every time I use a handicapped stall, I find myself mostly on my toes, rather than being able to plant my feet flat on the ground. I always worry that some guy looking under the stalls will see that and think I'm straining or something.

By the way, definitely B. I use the handicapped stall even when there's nobody else there, simply because it's more spacious.

[SweetbabyJ]

Quickly surmise the situation and start limping to the handicap stall.
