Bathroom weirdos

Sign in to disble this ad
So yesterday on my lunch break I decided to head over to a local book store to check out some of their selection.
Wile I was there I decided to use the bathroom so that I could check my teeth after eating.
I walked into the ladies room and proceeded to do just that, then from behind me I herd a moan and not a taking a crap moan.
I turned around and saw four feet in a stall.
I exited the bathroom pretty quickly and I'm still not sure if they even herd me come in as it was a rather quiet door.
I didn't tell anyone at the book store, I just left and went back to work.
So my question is what would you have done in this situation?

Go bookstore people!

I don't think I would have done anything; just kept quiet and went on my way.However, I would have certainly saved that one for the "What's the weirdest thing you saw today" discussion my family sometimes has at dinner.

Well I did tell my boss and several of my coworkers about it.
My boss said he would have knocked and said in broken English “house keeping, would you like fresh towels”

If you really wanted to freak them out you could have knocked and said "You mind if I get in on this?"

LOL. Now that would be funny.

Apparently this happens to my wife all the time and I also learned that women don't bother to flush public toilets.


My problem is the guy who chooses to stand in the stall right next to you even though there are more open, and then decide it's a good time to start a conversation.

1. Don't talk
2. Don't look stare at the wall in front of you
3. use the facility farthest away form the closest occupant

It's not that hard people.

But they may have said "sure, come on in. We could use a pivot man."

I would have done nothing. Honestly they wouldn't really be bothering me so why should I bothering them?

I seem to always walk in on two guys enjoying themselves in men's rooms. Dunno why I always have that happen to me but same deal I pretty much ignore it.

I would post the "chaotic evil" 4chan screencap about the bathroom, but my photobucket bandwidth is exceeded. If anyone knows it - that's what I'd suggest doing.

You want mint for pillow?

You should have taken a pic of the feet under the stall. (proof is always good) But, I think you did the right thing by just leaving. Let'm be.

Nah...I always stand next to people, look over the barrier and loudly say, "That's a nice watch!" j/k

Speaking as someone who works in property management, this. You may feel they aren't harming you, but it is definitely not good for the business and they deserve to know.

Sometimes you just can't wait to get home and it's better to do it in the privacy of a bathroom stall than out in one of the store aisles.

They aren't bothering anyone - let them have their fun.
