It’s happened to all of us. You sit down to start your business and find the seat is still warm from the previous occupant. (And not the good kind of warm.)
Sure, it’s a little creepy, but you deal.
But I had an incident recently that made me realize that a little bit of knowledge changes the whole equation.
I was heading into the men’s room and approached the stalls. As I did, a colleague exited the penthouse stall and said hello. I exchanged pleasantries and then had to make a quick decision which stall to enter.
Normally, with three opens stalls, it’s a no-brainer: I go for the penthouse. But in that split second, I thought, “I don’t really want to sit in his warmth. Too intimate.”
And so, I made an immediate left turn and ducked into the Peter-Brady stall.
Apparently, ignorance is an important quality in sharing a bathroom with co-workers.
