Reasons to Use Toilet Covers 11:30 a.m. 2005-03-01 I just got back from the front desk lobby, and I am so glad to be back in at my desk right now. I had to watch a rather large man pace up and down the small lobby area in front of my desk with his large plastic water bottle. He announced that he was “ready to pee test”, and to let his probation officer know. I called her, and told her that he was “ready”. I guess he was more than ready the way he was walking up and down. It’s a small lobby, and he is a large man, and each time he would pass, a shadow fell on the glass in front of me. It was really getting to the point that he was annoying and frightening me. I was expecting to see him jump up and down and tightly squeeze his legs together in agony. Not a good visual. Gracas a Deus, his probation officer came out, with another male probation officer who was actually going to watch him give a sample. He seemed surprised. Did you expect her to come in the bathroom with you and watch you? I’m sorry, but from all the stories I’ve heard from co-workers about the many of their own unpleasant experiences in the bathroom, there is no money enough in the world for me to even think of becoming a probation officer. No thank you! How humiliating for both parties involved. Gee, what do you say when you see this person the next day walking down the street? How can you not remember what went on the other day the stall? How can you not forget the color of their underwear, or the smell? I’m sorry..I don’t mean to gross you out, but come on… Yucko! Anyways, the bathroom in the building frightens me already. Not only do some of the toilets back up at times, but you don’t know how many germs are lingering about in there. I don’t know if the janitor properly cleans it enough, although I will mention that the bathroom does smell particularly lemony fresh than usual. It must be the Pine Sol? I’ve just heard so many weird and horrifying stories, that I try to refrain using the bathroom there as much as possible. When I get home from my long commute the first place you see me running to is the comfort of my own toilet. Another reason why I don’t like using the bathroom here is simply because I think the place is haunted. I’m not kidding. Maybe all the spirits Sharon has contacted have now made camp in the women’s bathroom. I don’t know, but sometimes, I will feel a very cold chill while in there. I’ve seen the lock actually move once. It is awfully dark in there as well. I’ve had two occasions when someone has actually closed the light on me while I’m sitting there. It’s not fun. You cannot even see your hand in front of your face, because there are no windows. So, what you must do, is actually get up from the toilet as best as you can do without slipping anywhere, actually open the door, and wash your hands in complete darkness, risking tripping onto the “sunken” sitting area (which is an absolute joke—consisting of two old ripped chairs, and a mirror), and leaving the bathroom, luckily with your clothes back on and zipped, without toilet paper hanging out of anywhere out of your clothing. It’s scary in there. Not to mention, you have these druggie people testing in there. I’m sorry, but they are not the cleanest of people. Sometimes they miss the “target”, and I’m not talking about men..women too. Okay..this is really a very gross entry.. I’m sorry, but it happens. Coelha@aol.com |
