Public bathrooms can be a source of embarrassment, awkwardness, and stress, especially for women. I know that some of my friends will trek to bathrooms on other floors or areas of their building to avoid running into people they work with after using the facilities. Or some people will wait in a stall until the whole bathroom is empty and then rush to finish their business before someone else enters the abode and sits in the stall right next to them. I know that many females, myself included, will go to great lengths to avoid an unnecessary bathroom run-in, going through added efforts for a smooth and worry-free bathroom experience.
One of the reasons that shared bathroom use can be so embarrassing is because some of the people in this world are really very strange. Not too long ago I sat in a stall next to a woman that was talking on her cell phone, speaking to the other person on the line between flatulent release and excrement discharge. Not only was this awkward because everyone in the bathroom could hear her conversation, I’m sure whoever was on the phone with her had the pleasure of listening to her bodily functions along with me.
Another bizarre situation that I experienced in a public bathroom not too long ago, was a woman belting out a song while dropping a D. She would even stop between verses to grunt and she strained herself to finish her business.
And unfortunately I have even had the opportunity to watch someone pick at their toenails from under my stall wall. They bent each toenail back, using their equally unmanicured fingernails to rip the mangled toenails off. I felt like passing her a nail clipper under the stall, and if I had had one, I probably would have. Also, not only was the toenail picking disgusting, she was bent so far over in order to reach her feet, that the automatic toilet flusher kept going off – over and over and over again. I can’t even imagine all of the splashing involved.
Along with these few examples of strange bathroom encounters, I can’t even begin to describe to you ones that I have witnessed at bars, while drunk, at 3 in the morning in downtown Buffalo. Use your imaginations – it’s as gruesome as you think.
1st example: Pooping is prime time for phone calls and now that your boyfriend has an iphone - facetime
ReplyDelete2nd example: that person must have been black
3rd example: that's just bad hygiene
4th-my story: i wanted to comment and say that although it is a place of grotesque things..which you shouldn't know about because girls dont poop.. its a place for hilarity.. the other day at work i was sitting in the arcade (bathroom) and someone takes the stall next to me and lets out the loudest fart i have ever heard in my life.. i mean this shook the building and made my ears ring.. i started smiling and quickly covered my mouth before laughing.. not 2 seconds later he does it again of equal volume and i lose it..at work.. a place of professional people and im just sitting there laughing at fart sounds in the bathroom of a random co-worker that could have been my boss for all i know.. still trying to hold it in but you can clearly tell im laughing and i had to start coughing on purpose to try and hide the fact.. anyways im sure you can guess who i am by the level of maturity i clearly demonstrate!
