Toilet etiquette

[OwlHoot]

I'd walk straight out and head for the nearest disabled loo.

[I just need to test it]

There's a chap here with the social skills of a lunatic.

Imagine 8 urinals in a row, 1 to 8. On this particular occasion Urinal #7 was the only one occupied. Our man here squeezed into position at urinal #8. Most off-putting.

One place I worked a lad used to go in a trap and knock one off. I said as I was waking out and someone else was walking in 'someone in trap 1 is having a wank' quite loud.

How did you know - did he tell you or did you peek under the partition?

You go into the toilets

There's someone washing their hands at the basin. No-one else is about.

You select trap 2 and enter. The stench is stomach churning.

Do you:

Be very British and polite and hold your breath and continue your business as quickly as possible?

Turn tail and silently enter a different cubicle thereby embarrassing the previous occupant?

Loudly say "Jeez, did something die in there?" and go into a different cubicle?

Or should it be the responsibility of the stink-maker to say "I'd give it 5 minutes" by way of warning before you go in?

...And when you're finished and washing your hands and someone else comes in, is it permissible to say "It wasn't me" as they in turn head towards the stinky trap?

(Bear in mind, this is the ladies. Perhaps in the gents malodorous cubicles are the norm).

Shouldn't this be in the Baked Bean thread?

Just askin

I wanted a Smelling smilie but this was the nearest I could get.

Because he just left the poor bloke on the other side of the glory hole, without returning the favour.
Out of order.

So while you were washing your hands, what did the other lady do?

[Zippy]

Volte-face and select the furthest trap from the offending one. Say nothing to the person washing their hands but, on the other hand, you don't want to get blamed for it.

This should be mandatory reading for everyone....

She'd gone by then. Lovely girl, young, pretty, but what a stink!

Brillo can't help it. It's his OCD. 8 is his urinal.
