Potty talk
I struggle with how to write about this without sounding creepy. But I'll try anyway.
I was walking down a hallway on my way to the restroom. At the end of the hallway, if you kept walking straight, you'd walk straight into the ladies' room. To get to the men's room, you need to turn left once you reach the end of the hallway. The layout is an important detail here, as to make me sound as un-creepy as possible.
As I was walking down the hall, a woman was entering the ladies' room as she was talking to a friend. Her conversation had not ended, so she continued talking as she stood in the doorway with the door open.
So let's recap. I'm walking innocently, she is holding the door open.
I couldn't see in the restroom enough to see people peeing or anything, but I incidentally saw inside enough to see that one wall of the room was decorated. It had shelves, with vases and plants and stuff. The other thing that was very obvious was how well lit the room was.
Then I walked into the men's room. In the dim light, I was able to identify that the walls were "decorated" with a handful of dried boogers and varying degrees of graffiti. The winner was the large text saying "YOU SUCK," written in what appeared to be fecal matter.
I'm not defending them, but perhaps the men who do this stuff wouldn't do it if their restrooms had plants.

So, you're saying boogers aren't decorations? Or that they're not planted? And how do you know the women didn't decorate both restrooms?
I'm not accusing anyone. I'm just asking.

I think this, like the issue of toilet paper, is a man-ism. I apologize for ever doubting your excretion-cleansing methods; I should have known there was reason behind them.
The fact that we're even discussing this, however, pretty much explains why we could allow our bathrooms to fall to such disarray.

Well, I'm assuming those sites have been visited by me. But considering the fact that my site and G.Lo's were checked, they must also be awesome. And NOT republican owned.

I guess that's what we get for relieving ourselves through what is essentially a hole in the wall. We're filthy by nature. Why dress the place up?
Oh, did you know they have couches too?

yes, it's true. we have couches. and carpeting, in parts. but do not fear, omar, as i was hovering the other day at work, i saw a sign (in multiple colors and fonts -- it must have taken time) on the inside of the stall door indicating that people should stop littering the place with, er, *refuse* so that "the bathroom floor can be clean and enjoyable for all."
i'm not sure exactly what to make of that, because it's disgusting and appalling that people in a professional setting wouldn't know how to use a trash bin. but i concluded that at the end of the day, u guess we must not be any less dirty than boys after all.

If you move to Tibet, you'll find bathrooms that are created equal. They are either well ventilated at 19,000 feet, or not well ventilated squatters that you can smell a mile away. And if it does make you feel better, apparently we're freaks in where I live, but I've never noticed any big difference between our bathrooms.
Not to sound creepy or something...
