The Road Less Travelled...

...or should I say, "the urinal less pissed".

The bathrooms here at work are fairly disgusting. And by fairly I mean dirtier than home, but one step below HS bathrooms where stalls had no doors, mirrors were cracked, clumps of TP clung to walls and ceilings, and clogged toilets with feces resting atop floating TP. Here, the stalls have doors, barely sufficient TP, and only one of four toilets are clogged. But what puzzles me is the puddle of urine that surrounds each urinal. How do these puddles form? Are guys just missing the urinals all together? You'd figure that 6 inches would be considered point-blank, but everyday these puddles are there. I understand that there's splash-back, but the amount of splash-black is almost negligable. And for someone like me who goes to the bathroom multiple times a day (especially if I drink coffee), I have to spread my legs further and further apart to avoid standing in other peoples' urine. This is no way to live.

But alas, I finally found a solution- the short urinal. The short urinal is the most overlooked urinal in restrooms across the globe. Something about it's low profile keeps people from using it. Maybe it's the possibility of more splash-back. Regardless, nobody uses it so the floor around it is nice and clean. Hopefully nobody else knows about the short urinal. Score one for the team.

On the same note, not only am I a user of the short urinal, but I admit to using the Handicapped Bathrrom stall. That's right, I use it, and I'm not all that proud of it. Now before you finish writing that hate-comment, let me defend myself. Like the short urinal, the handicapped stall is the cleanest. When all the other stalls can't be used (clogged or too filthy), the handicapped bathroom is the only other option. And of course, I try to be as quick as possible.

Now as my head hangs in shame, you can write that hate-comment now.
