Hi there. It's me, the guy that was in the stall next to you in the bathroom just now.

I noticed that you didn't bother to wash your hands after you had a bowel movement. I just want you to know that, although your nasty habit would offend some people, I don't mind. Really, I don't. It doesn't bother me that you're now tracking traces of urine and fecal matter all over our office and throughout the building. After all, literally everything we touch is already dirty. What's a few more bits of pee and poop here and there? So what if I'm touching the same things as you and then rubbing my eyes, touching my face, eating a donut. That's why we have immune systems, right?

So I just want you to feel free to continue your habit. You're probably too busy to deal with matters of personal hygiene. Hell, you're an American! You're free to do whatever you want without regard to the effects on those around you. Don't worry about me and everyone else you come into contact with. We'll take care of ourselves. You take care of Number One (and Number Two, as nature dictates).

Have a nice day.

No, just someone reading your post. I always wash, and think about those who don't in restaurants, especially when handling the menu.

Pigs are intelligent creatures. Superior to dolphins, horses, dogs and cats.

Aside from wallowing in mud (to cool off), they are -- biologically speaking -- extremely clean, too.

Men are pigs? I constantly hear from the women at my job who are the women that don't wash, and even one woman earned a nickname the "Mad Sh+*ter" because of her loud bathroom deployments! If she only knew what her nickname is, she'd die!

Used to work with a guy who would go to the men's room, lean over the sink and eject nostril missiles at roughly 83 miles per hour.

It was delightful to watch. Especially before lunch. Snot missile comander at the ready sir.

Then there was Sal. Sal was a bathroom marvel. Sal would go into the stall and within minutes there would be loud, uninterrupted machine gun blasts for minutes on end.

And I mean loud.

Followed by relief moans.

One time, this scene dragged on to the point where a fellow co-worker yelled out "courtesy flush please".

Undaunted, Sal's travails extended to the return to desk journey when we noticed that he had managed to loop the inside of his back pocket over his belt for all to see.

Oh Sal. I miss ya.

Someone posted a cartoon (in another thread) of a guy rushing back to what appeared to be a trading desk and declaring "I didn't have time to wipe". :-)

Years ago my department shared a floor with a law firm. None of the stressed out lawyers even bothered to flush, let alone wash their hands. Luckily they went out of business and, literally, disappeared over a weekend. On Friday they were there, on Monday their offices were cleaned out and the name plate had been removed from the door. We had a party.

We have the opposite here. There is a guy who goes to the Bathroom and literally spends 20 minutes washing his hand, the counter, washes his face, the urinal flusher. Sometime I wash my hands for 3 times as long just to keep up with his cleanliness.

I used to work in the library of a consulting firm and the men's room was about 5 feet away. I used to always find it disgusting that the men would walk through the library on the way to the bathroom and take the newspaper in to read in the bathroom and then bring it back into the library. um, gross.

Yeah, you reach a certain age, and relief moans become, well, certain. If we can't do disgusting things in the restroom, where can we do them? If you don't like reminders that we all perform these functions, find yourself a single-user restroom.

But yeah, wash your hands. I'm very susceptible to strep.

Was in the bathroom at work the other day. Heard someone talking and realized there was a man on his cell phone in the stall. Then heard him fart loudly while telling his customer a price.

Very classy.

From the GET NAKED column in Time Out New York by Jamie Bufalino:

QUESTION: As a man, I am consistently bewildered as to why guys are so averse to flushing the urinal after using it. Now, I'm no bathroom Nazi, but I have observed this behavior on multiple occasions at my workplace. Our office manager has even gone so far as to post hand-drawn signs of depressed urinal handles replete with red ink imploring offenders to please flush after use to little or no avail. And if you think this behavior might abate in the presence of others, think again. On many occasions, I have been tempted to say, "I think you forgot something." When I find myself in these situations, I am torn between flushing a co-worker's wee or leaving it for the next unsuspecting office drone with a full bladder. The only flimsy theory I can produce is some variant of the territorial marking that dogs exhibit when talking a walk— but why anyone would want to claim a urinal in a dreary office is beyond me.

ANSWER: Pardon the hushed voice, but I am currently sequestered in the bathroom stall of a major New York–based corporation. I am lying in a dense thicket of tile, porcelain and two-ply-tissue scraps in an effort to get a look up close at the famed urine-flaunting subspecies of the male human animal. Shhh. Here's one now. From my vantage point, I can see his wing-tip hooves as they approach the urinal. The lack of a zipping sound tells me that this specimen is a member of the button-fly phylum. Let's listen in as the urination process begins. Very interesting. While some male Homo sapiens prefer to deposit their urine in a subtle, soundless manner by, say, banking the stream off various groin-level porcelain targets, this specimen prefers to advertise his waste-voiding by directing his geyser directly into the pool of water collected at the base of the contraption, creating a loud, splashy Trevi Fountain-ish cacophony. The faint sounds of a few stray droplets being manually nudged off their urethral perch indicate the bladder is nearing empty. And now: complete silence. No roaring gush of plumbing, no squishy dispensing of liquid soap, just—if you listen closely—the sound of rubber soles on tile and the slight squeak of a door hinge in need of a dollop of oil. After conducting a series of these observational safaris, I've come to the conclusion that nonflushing males are not trying to mark their territory, nor are they suffering from a rare form of posturination arm paralysis. Basically, they are engaging in the age-old male ritual of being lazy, self-centered bastards, who see the flusher-yanking process as a colossal waste of their bond-trading, deal-making, glass-ceiling-creating, cigar-smoking energies. They go about their solipsistic lives just waiting for the more thoughtful members of their species to literally clean up their messes. Unfortunately, there's not much one can do to help these specimens evolve into more-productive members of their community, which is why we must turn to technology—specifically those electronic motion-detecting flushing devices—to make this social nuisance extinct.

I bet those guys consider the flush handle all germy, so they don't flush in order to avoid having to wash their hands!

I think you're probably right, Tinky - although just because you don't flush doesn't mean you don't need to wash your hands. You've touched your dick, for G-d's sake, and the doorknob and Lord knows what else! Plus everything with which you've come into contact before your trip to the crapper, like your boss who has the flu and your officemate that didn't wash HIS hands.

I once worked for a medical/pharmaceutical publishing company and our chief publisher was a DOCTOR, a MEDICAL DOCTOR. I noticed him not wash his hands after taking a dump. Man, was I grossed out. A DOCTOR!! I was outraged but I kept it to myself.

monster-- that reminds me of back in elementary school-- the boys would piss on the hot radiator, and it would stink something awful. Of course, back then, we had a large community urinal, not individual ones. Remember the old movie theatres with the long, floor models?
