Bathroom Saga con't...

Awhile back I made a comment about how weird the bathroom is at my work. I thought in an effort to not talk about my awesome "rogueness" I'd continue my bathroom rant.

In addition to the ultra crunchy granola ladies who won’t turn on the damn lights, there is also a random urinal near the back of the restroom and a weird trough looking thing under the window. Why are their urinals in a women’s bathroom? (Yes, I am in the right bathroom, there isn't a men's restroom in that hall.) Also, the toilet paper sometimes only lets one square off the roll at a time. I don’t need a whole lot but really, one square??!!! I secretly think the crunchy granola lights-off ladies also rigged the toilet paper to conserve paper products.

Speaking of conserving paper products, someone left a sticky note on the paper towel dispenser asking to: “please use one sheet only.” I’m fine with one sheet IF it was quality paper towels. This stuff is el cheapo and super NON-absorbent! Sorry ladies but I’m using two sheets.

Lastly, the soap. It’s foaming soap, which I enjoy. It's also in an automatic dispenser so no pump is required BUT it smells like a hospital. It’s that very strong smelling antibacterial stuff. I do technically work for a hospital but I don’t work IN the hospital. Is it too much to ask for non-doctor’s office smelling soap? Rant end.

In true, Marcy-style (so sad she is retired) I'm now going to post some photos of weird bathrooms. The 4th one isn't so much as weird in a gross way, just weird in a layout sort of way. (These count as photos right Kristin?)



(P.S. Yes, I have looked for another bathroom solution. Unfortunately, the others are even further away and when you’re drinking 2-3 Nalgene bottles of water a day you want the shortest path to the bathroom.)

I wish you would quit raping the earth (if it's yellow, let it mellow)-I'm sure one sheet of tissue is wayyyyy more than enough-and as to the hands, I should have written on that sticky note "air dry for Jesus." That's right, one of us is using the wrong restroom and I'm pretty sure (hoping) it's you.

Bahhh, that sounds like a horrible bathroom situation. I'm all for granola, but only with yogurt and fruit--not affecting my toilet habits!

i cant stand the t.p. dispensers that only let off one square at a time. it makes me crazy! sometimes one square does not cut it.

Thank goodness you posted pics, NOW I can finally stand to read your blog...just kidding! That toilet right next to the table is too much. I say use as much TP and paper towels as it takes to get the job done.

Hahahha Hilarious! The one outside kills me, that is so gross! I don't want to see dudes peeing, they make weird faces.

Yes, that counts as photos! But don't call me out, I didn't say it! (Although I do love some photos, how much better was this post with those outrageous pics??)

Oh, and we have a single bathroom at work. It's nice. I have privacy :) But my office is right across the hall from the mens so I hear all sorts of awkward noises...and smells.

People probably assume I have some sort of UTI becuase I go to the bathroom constantly. Thank God I have a normal bathroom though. No eco-terrorists lurking in the dark.
