I posted a whole blog post on my site about my new bathroom situation. I agree a restroom is not a conference room and certainly shouldn’t be treated as such.

You're right, it's an absolutely double-standard to expect only males to concern themselves with what lands on the seat. It seems to me the rule is very simple and absolutely genderless: If you are not going to sit on the seat while you do your business, raise it. Thanks for including the “Dripping on the seat” entry.

Someone enters the facility and decides to sing...out loud. 2. Moseying up to one of the "stand up" models...and find that the wall has been plastered with nasal excrement. Guys, PLEASE tell me what is your fascination with this? Just TURN AROUND, there's probably 3 or 4 stalls RIGHT BEHIND YOU with toilet paper! 3. Your boss enters the restroom just after you (realizing that you're in the stall) and wants to talk to you about work issues! It just breaks the concentration---is all I'm saying here.

I must say I have been guilty of quite a few of these---namely, being social, and talking on my cell phone! :) I now see why I often got "crazy" looks---not because the people were rude---but, I was seen as such! LOL :D Jamie C. Hey, Thanks CB for these great restroom etiquette tips! I must say I have been guilty of quite a few of these—namely, being social, and talking on my cell phone! :)
