Bathroom Behavior…
Nothing entertains me more than bathroom behaviour gone awry. This post is for the men since those bathrooms are the only ones I have experience with.
Would someone please explain the following odd behaviors to me?
- Washing your hands before going to the bathroom, but not after. What? So you can’t touch yours with the germs you randomly encounter, but you’re quite willing to leave your worst ones behind for the rest of us?
- Flushing a urinal during midstream. I’m not sure I understand the purpose for an incremental flush. I further don’t understand when there isn’t a flush to bookend the experience. Could it be splatter management? If so, I appreciate it since I’m next door sometimes.
- Empty urinal avoidance. Why do some guys bypass the urinal and go for the stall? Let’s face it, most of us are pretty lazy and a stall brings with it the possibility of having to lift the lid or close the door. As I’ve mentioned before, some people have trouble with the former and create even more egregious sins. I can maybe understand this is you’re a homophobe male at a gay bar wheeling up to a mirrored urinal with no divider in between. Otherwise, I don’t get it.
Of course, someone is probably blogging at this moment on how weird the guy is who walks straight in, addresses the urinal, pees, flushes once, washes hands, and then leaves.
Man if I’m doing it wrong, please somebody let me know. I’m almost 41 years old and need to get it figured out while there is still time.
