Enter at your own risk Public restrooms: a love-hate relationship. I hate to use them, but I love that I can if I absolutely have to. For years, I just wouldn't use them and I'd just hold it. But then I got a sort of health kick and started drinking a ton of water. And where there's water, there's... well you know. So now I'll use them but I do have some rules. And standards. • Avoid Wal-Mart restrooms unless it's a dire emergency. And if you do venture in there, don't look around too much, wash your hands when you're done and then 85 more times when you get home. Maybe 30 would do in a pinch. • Always check for tissue before sitting down. • And, erm, always look before sitting down. You know those little covers they have? Use em. • Don't touch anything you don't have to. • Unless you don't have a choice, don't go into the stall directly next to someone else. Unless you know said person. This is more true at say, work, than in regular public restrooms. And speaking of the restrooms at work, I hope you already follow these rules: • Don't follow someone into the bathroom at work to talk business. Really, I think it can wait five minutes. • Also while at work, unless we're friends, just please don't talk to me while I'm in the stall. It's just wrong.
