Someone Has An Excellent Sense Of The Appropriate

Thursday, December 10, 2009 @ 05:12 AM

The women’s bathroom in my office building has become a marvelous source of amusement for me lately, and yesterday was no exception.

“Cause when I went in there first thing in the morning, this is what I saw:

Bathroom Reading Material

An honest-to-goodness, fire-and-brimstone, you’re-going-to-Hell-sans-handbasket-if-you’re-not-saved, religious tract.

Why it is there is a complete mystery.  There are two stalls in the women’s room, and only one contained this little source of inspiration.  There were also none in the men’s room (I checked).  Did someone leave their bathroom reading material (an excellent choice, IMHO) there by accident?  If so, why was it left as if on display?  If someone left it there on purpose, why just that one?  Was it their last?   If so, why leave it there? Do they simply have something against the people who use the left-hand stalls in women’s rooms?

Sadly, along with other burning questions such as how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop, the world may never know.

    Same person who left the lovely decoration? Does this person know that you always use the left-hand stall? Perhaps they are reading along and would like to comment… ;-)

    Well, it is right next to the toilet seat covers. For that extra layer of protection :)

    I’m not sure I could leave it so open-ended, I would just HAVE to find out, at pain of death, who left that in the stalls just to serve my curiosity. I mean, I thought people read magazine on the loo not ‘thinking’ books lol x

  5. Well, I just don’t know what to say to that?? It’s like your work bathroom is some alternate universe. Maybe you should just stick to the men’s room?

    Your office bathroom bible bandit has struck. These elusive and well-meaning but stupid criminals use the bathroom as their mode of communication. Why? Because they figure everyone has to go sometime.

    Perhaps a death defying bowel movement was taking place at the time…

  9. I wouldn’t be able to resist. I’d purchase some highly offensive reading material to put on display right next to it. : )

    Maybe they think people routinely see their lives flash before their eyes while on the can. I love that you checked the men’s room too. Ha.

    LMBO @ “death defying bowel movement!”

    I’m always reading the cute little messages on the walls of the bathroom stalls. “here I sit all broken hearted…tried to $h** but only Far**d”
    And making sure my cute friends haven’t advertised me for a good time. ;)

    I like 24s idea. Put something really smutty in there. LOL

    I cannot imagine the thought process. Unless the leaver simply had a quota to meet?

    LOL at Michele – “everybody has to go sometime”

    Maybe there is only one because they are Jehovahs and only have a limited supply.

    Oh, and let me know if you want some objectionable material for the other stall! Like the reading material we have in the Men’s room – graffiti that says, “Rub my ass” – I didn’t know an animal masseuse had offices in our building.

  16. Not only did your post crack me up, but the comments had me laughing so hard that I forgot what I was going to say.

    Maybe they left them in the other stall too, but someone flushed it.

    Those things always fascinate me. Are people actually converted by finding a religious tract stuck to their toilet? Strange.
