Everybody poops

My sinuses are burning. Get me out of here.
Have you experienced this? Maybe you're lucky enough that your office isn't located right across from the damn bathroom. I understand that when you gotta go, you gotta go, but damnit people! It's like you purposely wait to shit until you get to work! There's a pack of matches on the back of the toilet that someone keeps lighting when they're in there. Great, so then the place smells like shit on fire. I can only hope for some small explosion to occur. Then there's the air freshener. You notice that whatever air freshener is in the bathroom for an extended period of time, no matter how good it smelled at first - after multiple uses it becomes revolting? It's bad enough that the wildebeest craps in there 3 times a day, but if only it were easier to ignore. Even if I keep my office door closed, the smell comes blowing through the air vents. Permeating my lungs, my nostrils, my eyes. I had a perfectly good breakfast bar that I now do not want to eat. I will also note that the air freshener of choice in there is a spray that I swear is a combination of curry, original Listerine, old man aftershave and cloves. And you can just imagine how great that is combined with you know, crap.

That is always not fun. I have a story that I would like to share. When I was working at Alltel my desk was right by the bafroom. The sales reps would always let customers use the bathroom even though customers could not come back there because of inventory that was back there etc. So this customer comes back there and seriously stays in the bathroom for like 45 minutes... I was begenning to think that this guy died in there but alas he did not but I think that he gave birth to a dead cow or something in there the whole back room of the store was well you could not go back there... totally runied my day. So yeah there is my story.

That's just not something one should do at work.

Do you have any suspects?

hd - I wish I didn't know who the suspect was, but in such a small office it's hard not to know. Maybe I'm mean for complaining - cause it's the lady who had a failed gastric bypass. If she wasn't such a bitch to me, I'd feel sorry for her.

BER - Ha! Good story.
Maybe you should've pounded on the door and said "Who's in there? Hurry up - Bob's gotta puke!"

Oh my gosh, Jessica!!! How awful, I think you deserve a raise for having the worst location for your desk. My office is all men and then me, and its so bad they spray room freshener and keep the fan on and the door closed!! Thankfully, my desk is far from the potty. I don't know what I would do otherwise!!!

If you think that's bad, I work in a public building so we don't even have an employee only bathroom. It's wet, stinky, and entirely gross. Yuck.
