Now I Have a Fear of the Men’s Restroom!
There is this creepy guy I work with, he is sort of like Milton from the Office Space movie. Most people at work do their very best to avoid the guy, not only is he very strange but being around him just makes people very uncomfortable.
The reason I even mention this person is because yesterday while in the men’s restroom, he was in the urinal stall next to me, he looks over at me while I am trying to take care of business and asks “Do you know how to drive a stick?” I was speechless, which doesn’t happen very often. In that moment I was unsure how to answer that question, “Yes, I know how to drive a vehicle with a standard transmission.” or “No thank you, I am married and prefer women.” What I chose to do was just act as though I did not hear him, hurry up with what I was doing, wash my hands as quick as possible and make a quick exit. It was just one of those odd moments in life where I am sure I overreacted. The guy just creeps me out.
Later that afternoon I was using the men’s restroom and a guy from another department walks up to a urinal stall two spaces down from where I was and began to take care of business. After a moment he looks down and says “Well that is weird!” Once again, I chose to act as though I heard nothing and make as quick an exit as possible.
And finally, as I was about to leave work I thought I would go to the restroom one last time before I headed off to pick my son up from daycare and run a few errands. As I walked in to the restroom, I saw two guys using urinals right next to each other. One of the guys looked at the other one and said “You know what will help with that, is if you rub the top of it until it warms up.” After hearing that I chose to just turn around and leave. Now I have a fear of using the men’s restroom while at work.
when someone comes in next to you and tries to engage in conversation,(VERY against the rules) Just swing it over and pee on his legs. That’ll show him.
I suggest using the women’s rest rooms instead. No urinals.
I almost suggested the women’s restroom too! I actually think its his nemesis, Karen, telling these guys to make these comments so that it plays with his mind. It’s working!
You know, I have done my very best to not think about or mention “Karen” since the new year and now look what you have done! Great, you made me break my new years resolution!
The bathroom should be like the library. No talking please.
And sometimes the reading on the wall can be entertaining.
I’m almost sorry I made you break your New Year’s resolution, but I enjoy my morning laugh at your expense when it comes to your problems with “her”.
