Public Restroom ------ Etiquette
In the past few months I had some disturbing instances that I faced in the public toilets/Restrooms; basically seen some outrageous and strange situations off late. If at all someday I venture out to write a hand book on good manners then will add the below mentioned points into it. So far I have not come across any which will give me a good enough information on how to behave in a public restroom or so to say “public restroom etiquette” as such. So here I will try to pass out pass on some etiquette’s and request all, whom I had the Privilege/Misfortune of sharing the rest room with.
1. When you are entering or you are already in the restroom, I beg you to keep oral communication and decibel levels at a minimum level. In other words, shut the F__K up. All who are in the room are not having a communal, joyous experience here. Just finish your job and get out.
2. Now something much worse than #1? Turning your head and looking at the guy you are talking to, getting a sneak peak and making unnecessary gestures and sounds while still talking. It’s creepy. For God’s sake don’t do it. Just feel that there is something very important and interesting going on in your bowl, put your head down and focus on it.
3. We usually have attached commode stall, if I can say so (or Lavatory). When it is house full time people do get it in into these, close the doors and start having the conversations. This is something that is worse than #2? Is talking form inside those closed doors that necessary. Why the hell are remaining people being given these special sound-effects?
4. This could happen many times with your friends, disturbing and pushing you while you are doing the act. Should someone be telling them that you are enjoying a small time pleasure and the smoother it happens is good for all? Okieee the point is any bodily contact with another person, such has hand-shakes or shoulder-touches/pushes, while in restroom, must be avoided at all costs.
5. Now for the sake of whole community including fellow men and women. When somebody is waiting for you to finish, please take as much time as you need to finish your job and dress yourself properly, INCLUDING zipping up completely before you turn around from the urinal. We do not want to see your underwear.
6. Recently during a party ......Saw a guy who was entering the restroom with a glass of his drink (Dancing) already full into the party mood. Now why you want to do this fine balancing act, drink in one hand and ___________ with the other. Ok he did really well with the act and now places the drink at the sink and starts the ‘beautification act’ in front of the mirror, in the mean time some idiots mix some tap water in to the drink. And yes, he goes back happily drinking it!
Now that really doesn’t concern me much but I have to say please don’t bring your drinks to the urinal! Can’t you leave them at your table? And it is just plain gross to sip your drink while urinating.
7. One more ‘Balancing Act’. Now it is the Mobile! Do you really have to check that message or take a call when peeing? Here performing this fine balancing act with both hands has a catch, a slight slip of either hand could be expensive? Let me break it to you. Unless you are a superhuman to make things happen faster by peeing, nothing is going to change in those 2 minutes.
8. If the restroom has more than one urinal, it is customary to leave at least one urinal between you and any other fellow users. But don’t go out of your way to leave more than one gap. You will look too secretive and raise suspicion.
9. Unsolved Mystery in Indian History: Or should we say Medical Mystery. For some....no no many, as soon as they get into the rest rooms their salivary glands come into over production mode and then the spitting (Once before they start, once while in process and once in the end).... it is like customary to do it while peeing. Whatever the reasons might be but spitting while urinating is disgusting. Also they must understand that they are challenging themselves to hit a single target from two different sources, thereby defocusing themselves and increasing the chances of inaccuracy in delivery. Remember that the subsequent users of the urinal must suffer the results of your failure to hit the target.
Be Safe and Play Safe!
