Ever since man crawled out of the primordial ooze, he has built
|
|||
|
|
himself structures to contain the processes of bodily waste removal.
|
|||
|
|
These have been known as "restrooms," "bathrooms," "outhouses,"
|
|||
|
|
"commodes," "men's rooms," and several other names. As with any
|
|||
|
|
exclusive organization, wholly half the human race aren't allowed
|
|||
|
|
through the door, and a number of exceedingly complicated customs
|
|||
|
|
have arisen to maintain a sense of order and dignity.

|
|||
|
|
[1] Don't talk to somebody you don't know. You may chat quietly
|
|||
|
|
with an acquaintance, but must absolutely not call attention to
|
|||
|
|
yourself.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
[2] A quick glance in the mirror is permissible, but absolutely
|
|||
|
|
don't spend a significant time arranging hair, clothing, etc.
|
|||
|
|
Zit-popping is only permissible after checking to see nobody
|
|||
|
|
else is around.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
[3] No profanity of any kind. This is reserved for locker rooms,
|
|||
|
|
only.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
[4] If you must wait, form a single-file line, ragged, and be sure
|
|||
|
|
to keep looking around. Read grafitti.

|
|||
|
|
[1] All grafitti is anonymous. If there's any chance somebody can
|
|||
|
|
trace your grafitti back to you, don't do it.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
[2] Writing grafitti in the open section of the bathroom is only
|
|||
|
|
acceptable if nobody can see you. Writing in the stalls is
|
|||
|
|
similarly acceptable.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
[3] If the bathroom is sufficiently public, feel free to insult
|
|||
|
|
different ethnic/racial/sexual groups. If the bathroom is used
|
|||
|
|
by a small few, restrain comments to amusing anecdotes or
|
|||
|
|
chit-chat about secretaries. If visiting dignitaries from other
|
|||
|
|
companies or the government may tend to use the bathroom,
|
|||
|
|
grafitti is forbidden.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
[4] Traditionally, all pictures feature women in various states of
|
|||
|
|
undress. Modern standards often include portions of male
|
|||
|
|
anatomy, discretely placed. Homosexual grafitti is generally
|
|||
|
|
frowned upon but is gaining popularity.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
[5] Pictures must only be drawn in toilet stalls.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
[6] Any sufficiently interesting graffiti will be painted over by
|
|||
|
|
the management of the bathroom.

URINAL RULES:

|
|||
|
|
[1] Given a string of unoccupied urinals, you must choose one on the
|
|||
|
|
outside. When one outside urinal is occupied, use the other
|
|||
|
|
side, then middle. Avoid standing directly next to somebody at
|
|||
|
|
all costs.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
For example, given seven urinals, here are acceptable configurations:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
X...... ["X" = Occupied / "." = Not Occupied]
|
|||
|
|
X.....X
|
|||
|
|
X..X..X
|
|||
|
|
X.X.X.X _
|
|||
|
|
XXX.X.X ] / These are only acceptable when significant
|
|||
|
|
XXX.XXX ] <-< "privacy" dividers are available. If the
|
|||
|
|
XXXXXXX ] \_ urinals aren't divided, use a toilet.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
[2] Always look at the wall. Looking down means you're obsessed or
|
|||
|
|
don't know what you are doing. Looking at other people is
|
|||
|
|
threatening.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
[3] Flushing is optional. Over time, the water will become a rich
|
|||
|
|
orange. At this point, flushing is mandatory.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
[4] Don't start unzipping until you're protected by the privacy of
|
|||
|
|
the urinal. Don't step back until you've closed your pants
|
|||
|
|
again.

[1] Reduce noise at all costs. Grunting is not acceptable.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
[2] Always flush.
|
|||
|
|
|

|

[3] When you find an unflushed toilet, leave it alone and use

|
|
another.

|
|
[1] Some university dormitories have co-ed bathrooms. New rules apply
|
|||
|
|
for dealing with the females.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
[A] Never EVER comment on how they look in the morning.
|
|||
|
|
[B] Don't ask what the little wastebasket is for.
|
|||
|
|
[C] If urinals are present, only use them when
|
|||
|
|
absolutely no females are around. If you are
|
|||
|
|
noticed by a female, try your best to ignore her
|
|||
|
|
presense until you're dressed again.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
[2] Port-O-Let's and similar constructions are evil. Use them only
|
|||
|
|
if absolutely no other option is available.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
[3] In the woods, far from civilization, restrooms typically aren't
|
|||
|
|
available. Get behind sufficient growth that you are completely
|
|||
|
|
invisible to the remainder of your party, before you begin.
|
|||
|
|
Check carefully that you aren't near any sort of animal or
|
|||
|
|
insect den. Ants are especially bad. If you forgot toilet
|
|||
|
|
paper, bring a leaf identifying guide. Poison oak makes a poor
|
|||
|
|
substitute.
