Pet Peeves

I try not to be negative, I really do, but sometimes I get off on a tear or a pet peeve sets me off.

Recently I started a new job, great work environment. Cubes, but nice ones. Large non-chilly, non-hot computer lab. However, there is only one set of restrooms serving 3 tenants.

The restrooms are actually pretty clean, but...

I have a pet peeve about flushing the toilet. I do it. Most folks do. Hell I even check that everything went down and flush again even if some paper is still floating around.



Some folks don't. You often find toilets with urine or shit & paper. I usually look for a clean toliet. (No I'm not a John Cage, needing a "fresh bowl."), but if in a hurry I'll flush then use.

However, there is someone in this building who takes a shit and doesn't flush. Yeah, yeah, just like I mention above. Except there is no sign of paper used to clean themselves.

Sorry just had to get that off my chest.

However, some folks don't. Not just p

Eeeuw....

I agree with you; that's gross.

I'd wager money the person doing it isn't a U.S. citizen, or at least wasn't born and raised here.

Many non-U.S. cultures don't use things like "toilet paper." Many people coming to the U.S. aren't even used to our toilets!

Really, I'm not a stalker!

Thank you.

That image was done by the "Computer Artist" at The Tech in San Jose. While not intended at the time at I had it done, I feel it captures the ocassional rage or frustration that can only be released with a scream.
