It seems that everybody in the past week has been talking about toilets. My favorite columnist Lisa Scottoline did a piece about automated restrooms that made me laugh so hard I bust a seam. At the office, the maintenance staff have been having difficulties with the thin but must-have seat covers. Sometimes the paper is so thin, not only does it stick to you in an inconvenient place, but you never seem to get all of it peeled off once it has a hold on you.
People were talking about the floors (never clean enough, even after they’ve just been mopped), the flushing mechanisms (an almost invisible rubber coated button) and the fact that the seats jiggle around because they’re not secured very well. We can send a man to the moon, but try to secure a toilet seat in a public restroom.
The office was so busy this past week, I think everybody was grateful just for the chance to take a bio break, complaints notwithstanding.
