According to the custodian at my workplace, men using public toilet facilities where there is NO urinal are supposed to 'tuck and sit'. He should know what he's talking about.
This little know piece of information was given to me when I complained to him that one of the 2 male members on staff keeps leaving the bloody toilet seat UP. (By 'members' I mean 'colleagues', but in this etiquette lesson the 'other meaning' does actually fit).
I hate touching that seat before I pee, and usually knock it down with my elbow. Mind you, last week it became more than just the 'elbow knock down'.
I entered the 'toilet' and knew HE had been in before me because the seat was UP.
As if THATwasn't bad enough, the toilet seat is one of those that is not a complete oval, there's a wee gap where the white porcelain is exposed.
Now, looking down, as you do, I could see droplets of what I assumed was 'pee', on the white porcelain.
Further investigation led to me finding 'droplets' on the floor in front of the toilet. I even 'slipped' on some.
I could NOT GO so I hovered outside the 2nd toilet, but whoever was in there was taking a hell of a long time. Meanwhile, a number of females had been in, using the first toilet I had 'tried' to use.
Eventually, I could wait no longer so HAD to use that first toilet.
On entering and inspecting it, I noticed that the porcelain part was now dry, leading me to three possible answers to this toilet 'pee' mystery:
a) The droplets had been 'wiped up' by another concerned
female.
b) The droplets had actually 'evaporated' during my long
wait.
c) The droplets had attached themselves to a piece of
clothing (maybe even a 'body part'), belonging to
one of my female colleagues.
The strangest thing about this story is that IT IS NOT A BLOODY SPOOF BUT I HOPE IT GETS PUBLISHED FOR ALL YOU MEN OUT THERE WHO LEAVE THE SEAT UP IN PUBLISH/WORKPLACE TOILETS REMEMBER, TUCK AND SIT!
