Things I hate about the girls' bathroom

Don't get me wrong. I'm glad it exists. Especially on those special occasions when you "gotta go, gotta go". But the little girls' room has some annoying properties. At least the one here on the 7th floor of this wonderful building.

(1) Refusal to flush the Neat Seats - Are you all familiar with "Neat Seats", those handy paper things you can cover the toilet seat with for a supposed sanitary visit. Do those really even work? Well, that's a whole other story. Anyway for some reason the dainty girls of this floor do not like to flush the neat seats after they use them. They leave them there on the toilet seat, butt marks and all. YUCKO! How hard is it to flush the damn things?!

(2) Pack activity - Now girls, do we really need to go together in packs? I think we're all old enough to do this all by ourselves. Thank goodness that my one female work buddy does not insist on making a trip to the bathroom together part of our daily routine.

(3) Interbooth conversations - This is related to the one above. We don't really want to hear your conversations. You're in the bathroom for crying out loud. Do what you have to do and get out.

(4) Teeth brushing - This is a wonderful idea. I'm sure ADA loves it. But maybe there should be a specific bathroom for the teeth brushers. They're always in the way with their greater-than-thou attitudes.

(5) Literature ban - This is my biggest pet peeve. How come it's ok for the men to prance into their bathroom with their bathroom literature in plain view? Yet it's taboo for women to read in the bathroom? Is it because women aren't supposed to fart or poop? Sometimes I just feel like reading and I can't do it while sitting in my office so I find a lonely booth and just read for a few minutes. But the rustling of pages seems to bother most females. They run out in horror!

Women of the world unite and say YES to bathroom literature!
