[Closed] Public / work's toilet etiquette

[#3124040]

In our office WC, there are five traps (cubicles for southern jessies).
When I walked in for a no. 1, one trap was in use, leaving four vacant. As I was mid-stream, somebody came into the bogs and I heard the sound of a second trap being occupied. This [s]deviant[/s] person had chosen the trap RIGHT NEXT to the one already occupied! I think this is weird. Surely it's normal, where possible to choose to have a buffer zone betwixt yourself and the next customer?

If you were on a bus and eight double seats were empty, you'd be a tad disturbed if somebody boarded and sat right next to you. I would be anyway.

Your thoughts ladies and gentlemen.

Buffer zone etiquette for urinals, not so much for cubicles IMO

Us Southern Jessies don't care if someone is next to us or not. You sound a bit 'precious' for a Northerner...... ๐Ÿ˜‰

Are you bothered about splash back as he plops one out, or that he might pee on the floor thus wetting your shoes?

Or is it too close for comfort and he might be able to hear you having a w@nk ๐Ÿ™‚

Maybe it was a personal vendetta. He may have seen you go in there, and had been saving up a reet proper dreadnought for days.

Do you suffer from poo envy?

Another Southern Jessie here. I would take the first available cubicle. Anything else is a bit weird.

No. Hand on arse.

Some people here at work are obviosuly so proud of their "work" that they leave it in the pan like a brown exhibit.

There was one a few weeks back that was the same size and shape as a Gregg's pasty.

With some of the people at our place I feel uncomfortable knowing that they are taking a crap in the same postcode let alone shoulder to shoulder separated only by 18mm of avocado formica coated chip board.

OP have you nothing better to do in your small world of IT and envelope opening than discuss toilet use?

Harry - I measured it too - 18mm. It's not enough. I'd like a reactor containment barrier between me and a colleague taking a shizzle.

(we work at the same place BTW)

Wouldn't you have been better throwing it out of the window?

Maybe near the sewage works near Barton Bridge? Cut out the middle man

I'd have thought any distance/number of cubicles from The Starship would result in the same awesome sound effects:

Whats the done thing if the outer two of a bank of four are in use... which one do you use...?

I have been known to exit, cruise at a safe distance then try re-entry when someone exits. Trouble is, cruising with a full payload can be risky.

Ours has three traps. The two on the outside have broken seats leading to randomly timed, alarming shifts in position.

If someone takes one of these outside ones I always take the middle, non ambushing, cubicle. Am I weird?

get in there, bomb the **** out of/ roost the pan, depending on my constitution at the time.

leave.

Every man for himself when it comes to No. 2's.

Slashing, different matter. pick the pan at the furthest point away from anyone else. no eye contact. no talking. Although this rule seems to go out the window when you are out on the trail.

What gets me is when people leave the pan in a bad way. that is just not on.

Our facility has only one crapper per bathroom, so when entering to void one's bowels, and seeing a colleague emerge, do you go right in after him, or pretend you just went in for a wee, use a urinal, and go to a different bathroom to avoid the pungent odours of a recent session ?

+1

There's a sign up in one of our bogs:-

"Over the course of several visits, the cleaners believe someone using these facilities to have a serious medical complaint. If you feel in need of help or advice please contact <blah blah>"

Hmmm,

There is scientific evidence to suggest never taking the first or last trap in the row as these are statistically more popular. Hence entering one of those increases the chance of feeling another mans butt warmth on the seat, or breathing their farts.

But what bothers me more is the fad for using a urinal BUT unbuckling your belt and opening your trousers rather than just slipping the hose out through the zipper. That is just wrong (and also means you have to stand stupidly to stop your strides falling round your ankles).

But, back to the traps - thankfully at our place they are floor to cieling walls sono chance of cross contamination. I hate poohing in public (clearly in public conveniences, not in the town square) - but I feel relatively safe in our work bogs.

maybe that person was in the process of 'touching cloth' so couldn't risk further strides to the further cubicles!!

So chose the closest trap to drop their payload ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

If it was me I would just want to make it to a pan safely ๐Ÿ˜‰

Valleydaddy could have a point there.

[useless fact]Actually there's scientific evidence that the first cubicle is the cleanest due to everybody avoiding it because they think it's the most popular and hence the most germ ridden.[/useless fact]

I always wonder about the dirty bar stewards that leave shrapnel everywhere. Do they do this at home?
