WHY DO PEOPLE EVER FAIL TO FLUSH THE TOILET AT WORK!?!?!?!

I go into the bathroom yesterday and the middle of our three stalls is COMPLETELY FULL OF POO. I am NOT exaggerating. POO. And some toilet paper. Now, a few questions come to mind immediately. Why did the owner of the poo not do a mid-poo flush? Why did he not do a POST-poo flush?? Why did he wait so long to poo that he had that much poo in him? Why was he in the middle stall? Did he suddenly get an urgent message on his blackberry and have to leave so quickly that he didn’t have time to do the post-poo? Or is he just a sadist?

Furthermore, why do this AT WORK?? Everybody knows everybody at work. There is so much risk of geting caught, as to make it completely ludicrous to even think about attempting such a heist. If I ever catch someone doing that, they are going to hear about it. I will not be polite.

Anyways, long story short, the stench in the bathroom was so vile that I had no choice but to find another bathroom at the other end of the building. You know how that is, when you are in an unfamiliar bathroom. No fun. Ruined my morning today.

Why do people need to leave their ringers on at work? And why do people need to use the most grating, annoying ringtone available?? I really don’t need to hear “Take On Me” 40 times a day whenever the woman across the hall decides to leave her cell phone on her desk and go out for a smoke…

Stupid Things Overheard

Grad student #1: Wow, the boss-lady is pretty laid back today. She hasn’t even harassed me once since I came in this morning!

Grad student #2: I dunno, dude. When she’s this chilled out, I just assume that somewhere there are dozens of puppies that have been kicked.

Product development gal: Just copy/paste it into Microsoft Word and change the font.

Product development guy: It’s Chinese, not Wingdings.
