pet peeve #1

it's time to start talking about this stuff. if i don't talk about it who will? someone's got to say something!

i work in an office park and i don't really like it. it's two skips off the interstate and is close to nothing but a chili's and a chevy's, but that's not even the root problem. the problem is with the ladies room on the floor where i work.

ladies! there are four stalls in the bathroom! if i am in stall one and there are no other bathroom occupants, please don't use stall #2. it pisses me off and encroaches on my personal space. why when there are two other stalls that would adhere to the one stall of personal space rule would you choose to pee two feet from me. seriously...

oh and also, if you talk on your cell phone from your stall one more time i might bust through the door and drop it into the toilet. disgusting. we have conference rooms for private calls. use them.

signed,
your personal space and hygiene conscious co-worker

ps - wash your hands, everyone has to touch that door handle!!!

Update:
And, if you go into the restroom and no one else is in there, please choose one of the stalls that makes it possible for me, too, to follow the one stall barrier rule...

OMG. Agreeing with pet peeve #1. And I will never understand the not washing the hands thing - seriously - that is literally the first thing you learn in kindergarten. Adding pet peeve #3 - two friends who linger OUTSIDE the stall just gabbing...as if there wasn't chair or lobby or balcony to have that same conversation in.

And, what's with the new magnetic word poetry that is now in the stalls for people to maneuver while they are doing their business in the stalls? Not only does this seem hygienically inappropriate, I find it weird that my co-workers may be leaving messages or poetry for others to read in the bathroom stalls. Good thing there aren't words and numbers for anyone to put together, "For a good time, call..." notes...
