Can I just say amen? I think this needs to be posted everywhere that there happens to be a public restroom.

And for god’s sake – don’t smoke in the bathroom! There are plenty of other areas to do that.

[...] talk about office life, and we love to find the humor in it. For example, Michelle Burleson’s Taboo but True: Rules of the Loo outlines the bathroom etiquette all the other stuffy career sites were too scared to talk about. [...]

@Ellen, hahahaha. I have heard the “every other urinal” rule and if there are three, don’t take the middle. I don’t envy that whole dynamic.

Yeah, I think that’s a ladies room thing.

The ONLY acceptable conversation allowed in the bathroom is while you’re washing your hands… Along with the “every second stall” rule.

Any conversation is strictly prohibited.

If I remember right, the courtesy flush is optional.

Thank you for writing out loud what I have been privately thinking for years. It covered all the salient points for those of who prefer sitting to standing.

Therefore, my question is this: Are the rules of etiquette suggested in this very timely and well written article also applicable in the Men’s Room? I have heard through rumor, second-hand anecdotes and innuendo that the place has a ‘no holds barred’ kinda mystique.

I am not necessarily interested in the granular details, but rather an assessment from the 3,000-foot vantage point.

LOL! Squat and squeeze. I can so relate. I am a hoover-er public restrooms will never enjoy the warmth of these buns! Ok and I’m done TMI.

@Sam, girls may not poop, but women do.
