Urinals
I entered the men’s restroom today right as the janitor had finished cleaning the urinal. He glanced into my eyes — sadly, I thought — and walked off.
There’s something sad about urinating on a man’s handiwork.
On a related note, why do many men at the urinal flush once in the middle and once at the end? Isn’t the time at the end sufficient? What am I missing?

Maybe the first flush is to prime the pump, get flow on the road, like turning on the faucet when you have to supply a urine sample on-demand.
Or, maybe the last person didn’t bother flushing when they were done, and the guy doesn’t want to have to look at someone else’s urine.
My favorite urinal story? A janitor at our college posted this sign above the urinals:
“Please don’t eat the urinal cakes.”
My second favorite urinal story:
I walked into a restroom and suddenly realized I hadn’t paid attention to what door I came through. In a panic I thought, “Am I in the men’s room?!”
Then it occurred to me that I was standing in front of a urinal, and they usally don’t have those in the women’s restroom (so they tell me).
The president of our company has orded the plumbers to raise every urinal 10 inches. He wants to keep us on our toes.

Damn dude, that’s a deep thought. I’d thought about that before. I took a dump in a toilet one night just as the cleaning girls had finished up in the bathroom. That was unusually weird because not only did I feel bad for crapping on a part of their day’s work, but I thought 2 of the girls were hot!!! :)
mmmmmm…bathroom girls…

Whats the protocol for men working in the bathroom? what are you supposed to do?
I walked in on the maintainence guys replacing the faucets and my mind hesitated for a second, but then my bowels reminded me why I had come. What could I do?
Some people just have crappy jobs.
