Hello at the Urinal


Have you ever walked into a bathroom and been apaulled at what you see? Now, I'm not talking about the cleanliness, but about the people and the interactions. I have decided to post a few of my personal rules for correct ettiquette while in a public bathroom.

10. Never go into the bathroom to change into the concert t-shirt you just bought at the merch table so that you can be seen wearing the band's tour shirt for the concert. That is dumb.
9. Don't ever fill up a water bottle in the sink. That faucet is a water slide for germs of all sorts.
8. If its a rest stop, and its a hand dryer that blows air on your hands...don't use it. Dry your hands on your shirt/pants. It is healthier to do so then to have other peoples' fecis heated up and blown back on your hands.
7. Never ask for toliet paper underneathe the neighboring stall.
6. If you must take a ridiculously embarassing picture for your blog or myspace page with your shirt off...do so at your home bathroom not with your cell phone in the mall bathroom.
5. The vending machines with cologne samples are never a good idea.
4. Brushing your teeth in the public bathroom has to be the last resort.
3. No sponge baths...ever.
2. Eyes always forward.
1. Cell phones at the urinal make everyone uncomfortable. Use at your own risk.

Hope this has helped make your public bathroom endeavors better.

I hope none of the people I know are those kinds of people, Katie.

For a second I thought I knew the guy in the picture.

And what's your answer to running out of toilet paper? Assuming you're stupid enough to not look when you go in.
