This is a rant, and a ridiculous one at that. Consider yourself warned.
At work we have a bathroom with several stalls. No, lots of stalls. More than enough, thankyouverymuch.
Why then must people come into the bathroom and choose a stall RIGHT NEXT to the one I’m in when there’s a whole bank of other options?!
(I told you this was a ridiculous rant.)
If I happen to be in there at a busy time, fine. Choose the stall next to me if you must. I get that there might not be other options. But most of the time there ARE other options and yet there I am peeking at your shoes under the stall. And you better believe I’m checking out your shoes so I can give you a silent death glare next time I pass you in the hall.
Men have urinal etiquette. Why is there no such thing as stall etiquette for women? I mean, I know it’s not the same. I can’t see anything except your shoes. It’s not like women are at risk of that awkward moment where it looks like we’ve been caught looking.
“Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry. I wasn’t looking at your shoes, honest!”
Yeah, it’s really not the same.
But seriously – so many other stalls to choose from. GO PEE OVER THERE!
From commenting on this in passing I know I’m not the only one bothered by this stall stalking. So let’s all agree, shall we ladies? If there’s a choice of stall thou shalt not choose the one next to the only occupied stall in the whole damn bathroom.
There. I’ve had my say. Now go forth and pee in peace (just not in an adjacent stall).
