Working in The Office is the new awesome

Last week NBC's The Office had a segment where all the boys go hang out in the girls bathroom. I was immediately jealous, because the women's bathroom at Dunder Mifflin had a couch! I decided it was time to do a little exposé on what office bathrooms REALLY look like (unless it turns out that I work in the only office with a non-furnished women's bathroom in america, in which case: roast on me!)

I snuck my camera into the bathroom this morning to see what REALLY happens in there:

First, I have this handy sign that someone has taken the liberty to post on the inside of every stall door, with helpful subcategories such as "When should you wash your hands?" and "How to wash your hands properly." Maybe someone noticed that we have a handwashing problem in the office, and thought this the most inoffensive way to make things take a turn for the better?


The best part is that someone just printed this little guide out on their own accord - it isn't an offical sign - it has obviously been printed off someone's inkjet computer and clandestinely placed on the stall doors of the women's bathroom.

Secondly, and somewhat more annoying, is that the paper towels have been sticking inside the dispenser this week, so all these women with wet hands try to get a paper towel out and end up ripping whatever little piece they can get their hands on to shreds ... and then they leave the pieces of ripped paper towel on the floor as if no one ever taught them to clean up for themselves.


Sometimes I think that we have to call what we do "going to work" because we couldn't keep calling it "going to kindergarten" every year as we got older, no matter how applicable. Don't even get me started on our shared kitchen space (it smells like someone is cooking hobo socks in the microwave again as we speak)
