Dear Poor Lucky Me,
I am a thirty five year old white male with a well respected position in a good company. I enjoy the finer things in life: lobster, designer shoes, the Louvre. But there is a scenario I fear so much the very thought of it makes me want to hide under my desk and cry. And its unavoidable.
Can you think of anything worse than for me to have to use the urinal after some one who has clearly just polished off a Venti Starbucks coffee? Being so intimate with another man’s digestion is really too much for me to handle.
With Respect,
Tea Only
Using a public toilet is always the downfall of those trying to shelter themselves from the dregs of society. And by dregs, I mean anyone/anything not associates with the Louvre and caviar. So if you must use a public toilet you have to be tough.
I guess a worse thing to encounter would be a guy who ate a ton of asparagus, or one of those bathrooms where the stalls don’t have doors. Either of those situations would rattle me more than coffee-pee.
There are a litany of MUCH more disturbing things you could see in a bathroom, but I’m trying to keep my answer in the same vein as the question. If you started with “coffee” I’m not going to finish with “glory hole”.
I recommend always going home to use the bathroom. If your boss or supervisor can’t allow that, you should get a job working from home. At some point you may just have to concede because you don’t want to lose your job and end up homeless. The streets are like one never ending public toilet.
Sincerely,
Dear Tea Only,
Poor Lucky Me
