Title: Rule #1 - The bathroom is not the place for chit-chat
Post by: Sam on Apr 05, 2011, 04:22:13 PM
I seem to recall ranting about this before here, but here it goes again.

The urinal is the place for many things.

The urinal is NOT the place for bland pleasantries.  I have very little patience for indulging people's desire for small talk normally, but when I have my penis in my hand and I'm expelling bodily waste, I have even less.

Next time someone does it, smile crazily and say nothing.

Problem solved.

I feel like I'm missing out.  The best I get is some Chatty Cathy talking on her cell phone and pooping at the same time.

The only time that happened to me was when I saw TMNT2 in the theater...I was like 11 and I'm doing my business and this guy walks to the next urinal that looked like he just came from his 4th round of D&D that day and decided to take in a movie before returning to his text based computer games and he starts chatting it up with me about the movie. Even at 11 I knew that was creepy as fuck and got my ass out there before he tried to put something in it.

This is a pretty big problem with a lot of people at my workplace.  One guy initiated a conversation with me when we were side by side at urinals.  When he was done pissing, he turns so he's 3/4 facing me, still right next to me in front of his urinal, and keeps talking, prompting for acknowledgment with things like "Right aDam?".  Very annoying...

The worst is the continuing conversation from the urinal area to the stall area that I've entered.  Okay let's wrap this one up because I would prefer not to keep having you talk to me while I'm SHITTING IN THE TOILET!!!

One manager around here once followed someone into the bathroom looking for him, saw he was in the stall taking a shit, and initiated a conversation about something work related...

The place where I just got hired had a phone in the bathroom.

Yup. Had. I needed the line, so I pulled the wires and dropped them to my desk. And the phone from the pissoir was thrown in the storeroom and I stole the storeroom phone. I had to clean off some shavings and a bit of grime, but at least it didn't smell like shit.

But the whole logic of having a phone right in front of the toilet escapes me. As if I'm going to answer the line just because I'm the only one in the office. I'm also on the crapper, herp derp.

Maybe shitting emergencies?

I don't know if you all have Buffalo Wild Wings (it's a restaurant chain) out where you live, but they have the best idea ever.  Each urinal has a TV screen at eye-level above it.

They have them in Dallas, but I've never been, of course.

They have them in Tallahassee and LA, and I've been to both of course.

No one initiates conversation with me at the urinal.  If they do I turn to face them head on and the holy aura from my penis melts their faces off like the arc of the covenant.

Does it actually have TV on it or just ads?  I've seen LCD screens with ads on them in some urinals.

Also apparently some places have put a fake fly on the bottom of the urinal and it caused people to aim for it when pissing which considerably decreased the amount of piss on the floor...

It's real TV, generally sports, no ads outside of regular commericals.

We just got one in Meridian, but I've never been, of course.

I practice aiming three things: my bullets, my spit, and my piss. The fly thing's a good call.

If Buffalo Wild Wing anything like this:

I think it's a Canadian chain. Pretty good.  They do crazy wing flavours.
