Bathroom Behavior

And from the file: Things That Annoy the Living Crap Out Of Me....folks who don't know bathroom etiquette!!!

Now look here, I don't care what you do in your own private restroom, but the public facilities in your office building are not the place to do any of the following:

1) Put on your make-up - This must be done at home, in the proper lighting, before you get on the train lettin' God and everyone see your uneven skin tone.

2) Style your hair - Again, can you please get yourself together before you leave your house because I don't really need to see your stray hairs all over the sink, and really the humidity in those tiled walls is no good to nobody.

3) Talk on your cell phone - Truly, what don't you get about "Public" restroom? I do not need to hear the details of your weekend or the drama going down between your boyfriend and his cousin while I am trying to relieve myself. You are distracting me, not to mention, who the hell can you be talking to that you need them to hear you pee over the phone? I realize not everyone can have personal conversations in their office, but that's your problem, please don't make it mine.

Unless you are at a nightclub or a sporting event, using the bathroom is not a social event. Get in and get out. Don't hang about brushing your teeth and checking your lipstick, you're making the rest of us uncomfortable. And for goodness sake if there are 5 empty stalls don't use the one next to me! What is wrong with you? Men understand this, they have unspoken rules about where they stand, why can't women? This is an instance where we don't gain strength by proximity, there is no safety in numbers, and it's not "one for all." In short, Get Away From Me.

Whew! Just needed to let that out, now I can go about my day secure in the knowledge that I've enlightened women the world over on the proper behavior in a public restroom.
