One of my biggest pet peeves include people who do not seem to have any bathroom etiquette or basic bathroom common sense. On one occasion, I walked into one of the bathrooms in my office building and found a toilet filled with poo. What, don't know how to push that little silver lever? (And yes, that toilet was flushable). On another occasion, I walked into my favorite stall (you know we all have favorite bathroom stalls all over this metropolitan area) to find the floor littered with toilet paper and the dispenser in pieces on the floor. Someone apparently was in such haste or need in dispensing TP that she had to rip the dispenser off of the wall! Finally, and most egregiously--One day, on my way to my favorite stall, I noticed that one of the stalls had an "Out of Order" sign on the door. A few hours later, I returned to the bathroom to find it smelly because someone had pooed in the OUT OF ORDER stall. People, please. We're not animals here. -Bic
