10 Rules of public restroom etiquette

Having traveled many miles across this great country I have been in as many restrooms has Kohler faucets. Over the last 35 years my eyes have seen sights that ought not be repeated. Without further ado, the list:

10. Always make sure you're shoe laces are tied. Having to grab a urine drenched lace and tie up a shoe is not cool.

9. Do not make eye contact while using the urinal. Any conversation that is that important should not be taking place while you have your member out.

8. Never push on a stall door to see if it is occupied. If it is and the door is not locked you either have a new friend or a mortal enemy.

7. When you are in a hurry, have a plan. What will I do if someone is already using the room? How long can I wait? Is there a secluded spot behind the store? Plan ahead.

6. In an emergency remember that the sign on the door is merely a suggestion. Be careful when using this option. When exiting the "other" restroom if you run into a waiting line loudly announce that the toilet paper is now fully stocked. Do not stop to buy anything. Leave fast.

5. Gas stations have a reputation for filthy restrooms and some are deserved. Some are not. Easiest way to tell is if the lock on the door does not work, find another place.

4. In larger, multiple stall restrooms never assume you are alone. Making a sighing sound while peeing or commenting on what you are doing is really creepy if someone else hears you.

3. Along the same lines, it is not acceptable to stand next to someone at a urinal and pass gas just because we are in a men's room. It's still damn rude.

2. Courtesy Flush

1. Always close the stall door. If I wanted to see what a goat running away looked like I would watch Animal Planet. If you are that proud buy a Speedo.

Till next......
