More about my Bathroom Fetish

[brickhousewench]

Anyone who has been reading me for a while knows that I have a bit of a thing about bathrooms. I’ve written about them in faire reports on more than one occasion and I wrote about the hand driers in the loo my first day at The Mushroom Farm. Yep, I will judge your faire or facility by the state of the bathrooms. Because when I gotta go, I want to

Teehee, I am a snob about bathrooms too. My Yelp reviews all mention the bathrooms. Uff da.

Somewhere I have a link to an article about public bathrooms in Boston, that rated them 1 to 4 rolls of toilet paper.

I miss Arisia being in the Park Plaza, because they had some really awesome bathrooms!

I am not convinced that automatic faucets are good for anything. They are expensive, require electricity (moar energy waste), utilize sensors which can fail (I’ve been in many a restroom where at least one faucet was b0rked), and waste water by continuing to run after one has finished his or her ablutions...

Automatic sensor often cannot see me. This means I have to get someone else to turn on auto-faucets and push the buttons on auto-flush toilets.
Also I have bumped into many an automatic door because it didn't see me and therefore didn't open.

Auto-toilet horror story:
Co-worker is pinching a loaf in an airport toilet, pants around his ankles, with his laptop in one hand to prevent theft. Toilet flushes by itself while he is still, ahem, engaged, and blocks up. Hilarity ensues (¡not!) as he duck-walks through the muddy water spilling onto the floor, paperwork incomplete (YUK), trying to haul his pants up enough to keep them from getting soaked and stanky without dropping his computer...

Technology FAIL.

Ewwww. Thanks for that mental image. =P

The bathroom at the Penn irked me the first day. There were only 2 sinks right by the door and a giant barrel at the same space so you could not open the door all the way and you could not se the second sink. The stalls had regular house toilets in them instead of something more industrial (as we were in an office park) and could not handle 30 women using them all day long without backing up all over the floor. That and there wasn't a place to dispose of feminine products so people were just tossing them in the trash (not fair for the janitor) or trying to flush and causing more back up.

The bathrooms at the insurance company may have been old, but they were designed to be used by hundreds of women and had a cleaning staff who did a gosh darn good job at keeping things tidy.

Functional bathroom are one of those little things that really makes a big difference in how much I enjoy or don't enjoy an office.

You are hilarious (and also awesome). I have never thought to look on the side for a temperature switch, it's always bugged the crap out of me that I couldn't change the temperature.

[brickhousewench]

See, I knew I wasn't the only person it had to bug! So I had to share once I figured it out! =D

Bathrooms are *very* important
