1. If you do wash your hands and take
an open cup of coffee into the bathroom, put it really, really close to a sink.

2. That's just icky
There's a reason I don't like people using my stuff at work. I WON'T lend my pen to most people. They think I'm a Nazi.

3. Similar story, a bit more disgusting...
A student of mine was in the stall next to me. Of course, I didn't realize she was my student until she walked into class. Her gold stiletto sandals were unmistakeable.

So, back to the bathroom stall.

I was hovering--doing quick business--and here's what I hear in the stall next to me:

"I love you too, baby *sound effects* *sound effects* I wish I could be there, too *sound effects* Do you miss me? *sound effects* *sound effects* *sound effects* Oh, I'll call you back tonight, and we can do that, baby *sound effects *sound effect*"

She was taking a rather loud and gassy crap while talking on her cell phone to her boyfriend.

10. a couple of years ago a study was done at restaurants that had
those unwrapped after dinner mints, you know the ones that are pastel and grandma's always seem to have a bowl of them? Anyhow the lab tests showed all kinds of disgusting things on them but the biggest amount of anything was urine.

12. No kidding.
My worst experiences are at the airport.

I'll be washing my hands thoroughly, and meanwhile, I'll see guys twice my age just walking out without washing. :puke:

13. This woman brought us cupcakes...
And the bathroom is an extension of the theater's office. Well, she most certainly did not wash her hands- and now I'm a bit disgusted, because I must've had four or five of those cupcakes.


They WERE really good.

14. You know,
they said I was fired for something I didn't know was a problem, but I was fired the day after I reported someone doing something like that. I wonder if that had anything to do with it.

19. EW! I've seen it happen...
I wash my hands and use a hand sanitizer when I get back to my desk... because I know I just touched the door knob previously touched by an unwashed potty hand!

I'm trying very hard not to get all Howard Hughes about it... but seriously, how gross is that?

20. That happens all too often where I work.
I thought I was getting paranoid too, but I've seen guys use their feet to flush a commode, so now I use a paper towel to open the door out of there, and it ain't no better in other parts of the world.

BTW, I never thought about the bar snack angle - ewww

and I thought I was a tough ex-military type.

21. Although, I've heardthat the uric acid is actually cleaner than most
of the things in the bathroom, including some soaps. Not sure if this is entirely true though :shrug:

25. It is when first expelled
But it is so high in the "nutrients" that bacteria thrive on, they seek and infest pretty darn quickly!

I've heard you can drink urine in a pinch... and I've seen National Geographic film of women washing their babies in cow urine in drought ravaged countries... I've even heard it called "the water of life" (aqua de vida?) and watched it being drunk on an eerily creepy yet somehow grippingly entertaining episode of League of Gentlemen, but I don't think that counts:)

22. There's this old chick in our collections department who NEVER washes...
after she uses the bathroom. I wanted to vomit, and then go take her a few drops of hand sanitizer. But I was too stunned. I just dried my hands and walked out amazed.
