cuz I said so

Umm, just cuz I have to, that’s why…

Let’s discuss bathroom etiquette, shall we?

See picture below:


Question 1 – you come in to bathroom, stall 1 taken, you go to stall?

Question 2 – … stall 2 taken, you pick stall #?

Question 3 – Stalls 1 and 3 taken?

Question 4 – all open?


Like I was gonna list the questions without the appropriate answers for those who think you can think for yourselves… you know I have the correct answers in my delusional mind… silly bloggers… geez.

Answer 1 – you go to 3, two stalls away… although 4 is acceptable.

Answer 2 – only acceptable answer is stall 4.

Answer 3 – Again, only acceptable is stall 4. You can’t pick 2 and surround yourself… that’s just stupid.

Answer 4 – Stall 1. Why? I know a lot of you automatically think 2, but nooo my blogging friends. I think because most of you think that that is the best answer, it is the dirtiest. I read somewhere once… stall 1 always the cleanest, no one picks it.


And there you have it… random thoughts in the mind of Katie on a Tuesday afternoon.

you’re welcome.

I once read that the middle stall is always the cleanest!! And the last one is always the dirtiest. I just avoid public bathrooms at all cost :)

TOO funny. I would always choose
(1) if they are all open too. Thinking that most people are too lazy to walk that far....:)

Tristan said...

What if you always choose the handicapped stall because you have kids with you and there is more room in there?

i now consider myself informed. thank you.

calibosmom said...

That is very useful info. I will pick #1 from now on. #2 is never a good idea in a public bathroom anyway!

Christie said...

I always pick the one that actually has toilet paper. What does that say about me? Nothing worse than a drip-dry.

Sheliza said...

Lawd girl you done lost your mind! LOL!! I am so anti-public restroom that I hold it until I get home. I have to admit I do sometimes have the paper toilet seat covers. I am funny like that.

i had NO idea there was a science to it all. thanks for the enlightenment. :)

Montay said...

Silly girl You go in the boys they NEVER sit down in public restrooms and if someone walks in you just start laughing anyway and they leave!

Mrs. D said...

hahaha! So true. I had never really thought about it that way! :)

Diana Boss said...

OMG it's all so true. I have my list of BR rules. Especially in 3 stall situations! We'll discuss another time though.

Ilene said...

Wow, the fountain of your knowledge is vast.

I pick the stall that doesn't have anyone next to it. I hate to hear other people do their business... or smell it either.

Tosha said...

ok...so my take on bathroom etiquette...#1 I don't want to be near anyone...don't want to hear what they are doing or smell what is going on...#2 I don't want anyone to hear what I am doing...and don't worry no smells goin on cuz I just can't do that in a public potty...but seriously what if I accidentally poofer...I don't want anyone to have to hear that...no worries they won't smell anything because mine smell like roses.... ;)

And Katie, can I add:

If you know me and you know that I'm in the bathroom- don't talk to me; now is not the time for conversation!

And ladies, if you go into the restroom and stall 1 is empty and someone is in stall 3, PLEASE don't sit next to me in stall 2! I mean, come on!!

Is it just me? Am I trippin'? =0)

~V~ said...

i've read that about 1st stalls, too, but it seems where i work everyone read the same article because EVERYONE picks the 1st one--at least when i'm in there. i always use stall #4. :)

KATE said...

Great random thoughts! ha ha ha love it!

KATE said...

I have to say I didn't know any of the answers, because I would rather chew my own arm off and beat myself with it, than use a public restroom. I avoid them at all costs!!

Steph said...

I always go to 5, because it's the biggest!
Teehee.

chrissy said...

Hilarious post.

For me, it just depends on close I am to peeing my pants. No time to think about it, just get in there!

MotherBeck said...

I seriously HATE using public restrooms. I will avoid it at all cost, partly because when I do go it takes me forever to get going, it's like I get stage fright or something. I really have to concentrate and people waiting probably think I'm totally constipated or something...see, that's why I wait till I get home!

Brothers Blog said...

LOL. This was a funny and random post. Love posts like these.

Jason, as himself said...

I always pick stall (or urinal) 1. Why is 2 the dirtiest? I don't get it.

Is this all just an urban legend?
