i hate public restrooms but unless you are agoraphobic they are unavoidable. sadly, some people do not seem to understand how to behave in them. here are some general guidelines:
1. no talking. it is just awkward. if it is just you & your mom, i'll let it slide. but if anyone else enters the facilities, cease conversation immediately. no one wants to hear it.
2. no talking to me. even/especially if you are my mom, i will refuse to speak to you if i am in a stall.
3. the no talking rule goes double for cell phones. what is the person on the other end thinking?
4. if there are more than 2 stalls and 1 is occupied, use the one that does not border the occupied one. i do not understand how when there are 5 empty stalls, you are going to pick the only one that borders mine. (i always use the 1st stall b/c a) lower chance of someone being next to you and b) i read an article about how it was the cleanest b.c fewer people use it - stall 2 is the most used. fyi.)
5. if you are a male, being gay is not a valid reason for using the women's restroom. (i'm looking at you, Midtown)
6. if you are my male co-worker who keeps using the women's restroom & leaving the seat up - SERIOUSLY? the only person with a penis allowed in there is the transgendered girl & i'm pretty sure she's not putting the seat up. unless you are ready to fully commit to the life of a woman the way she has, walk the 15 feet around the corner and use the men's room.

The next time you go to the restroom, I'm going to start sending you a steady stream to text messages. Either that or stand at the door demanding that you listen to me talk about my feelings.
