Work bathroom etiquette, your guide to not being a douche
Etiquette, one thing missing from most men's rooms at the workplace. Why am I writing this on a sports related blog? Where better to reach a bunch of guys, and I'm guessing a fair share of you fine readers check this while killing time at work. While you are filling out your NCAA brackets for on Monday at work and have to take a shitter break, keep these things in mind.
1. Wash your hands, this may seem obvious but still needs to be said. If you don't wash your hands at home, that is your business, but at work it's a must. Hell, half the time I don't wash my hands after I piss either, but that is because I pee with the door open and don't need to grab the handle. I pee in the sink on occasion at home, but I wouldn't do it at work. You get my drift.
2. Treat the toilet like gym equipment. I know half of our readers haven't set foot in a gym since they were forced to in high school and the other half got a membership for a month and gave up. I fall into the latter category, so I feel your pain. After you use a piece of equipment at the gym, you have to wipe it down. The same should go for the public toilet at the workplace. Nobody wants to sit down on your ass sweat, poop stain, pubes or piss. Disgusting? Yes, but happens everyday. Wipe it down before you sit, as a precaution and after as a courtesy for the next fella.
3. Clean the shit stain out of the bowl and make sure it flushes. Nobody wants to come into the bathroom after somebody shits their brain out, let alone if somebody didn't clean their mess. If you drop a shit bomb, and it explodes and creates the biggest mess known to man, please use the brush and clean it up, and give it a courtesy flush. More notorious displays include "the straight shit backwards that goes under the seat", "the straight sideways shit" and "the big coil". All of these messes are McNasty and shouldn't go unattended. Please make sure the shit goes down the drain too. Nobody wants to take a leak and have to panick to grab the plunger so they don't get poo water on their shoes.
Honorable mentions: lifting the lid to piss and leave the poop vent on when leaving the room.
So when you take a break from re-checking your brackets for the fifth time on Monday, or you are in the middle of your fantasy baseball draft, use these tips and don't be "that guy".
