Restrooms - No Place for Nonconformity

Even the nonconformist knows when to follow the rules. Having just left the restroom totally grossed out, I feel compared to share some restroom rules:

  1. Wash your hands. This is no news flash. You know you're supposed to do it...so just DO IT.
  2. Don't talk on your cell while using the potty. Does your friend, mom, boyfriend, colleague, creditor, or whoever really want to hear the tinkle of your urine hitting the toilet water? I think not. If I am in the stall next to you, I will flush, Flush, FLUSH until you hang up.
  3. Don't pee on the seat. If you can't hover neatly, then just park it on the germ-infested seat.
  4. Wipe the counter with a paper towel if you spray water everywhere while washing your hands. Of course, those who refuse to wash their hands won't have to worry about this one either.
  5. If you use a paper towel to open the door when exiting, don't drop it on the floor and pretend you didn't notice. Keep it in your hand and deposit in the next trash container you find.
  6. Wash your hands. This rule bears repeating, especially to the young woman in the restroom today who exited the stall and practically ran for the door. She didn't seem the least bit embarrassed by her lack of personal hygiene.

  1. Yes! My favorite still remains the people that hover to poop and miss.

  2. Regarding 1 and 6 - running your hands under the water for 2 seconds does not constitute washing!
