Violating Bathroom Etiquette

This is the "Wide Stance" offender. Is it so difficult to keep your feet within the space provided at the urinal you're using? Honestly, I don't know how many times I've had to walk into a restroom to find that the guy using the urinal next to the only open one has his legs spread about 10 feet apart. I'm not one to back down and go into a stall so I step up to the urinal. Mr. Spready next to me continues with complete disregard about the fact that he and I are now playing footsies while I cozy up to the opposite side of the wall.

"Just Cruisin' "I've also seen guys who seem to think that the half wall that separates the urinals is somehow reserved for them to rest their arm. It now looks like they are cruising down the boulevard while trying to piss...oh and lets not forget the special ones who incorporate the wide stance mentioned above.

Next comes the "Bathroom Meeting". A quick "hello" or something is fine. But don't turn the bathroom into your own personal conference room. Just because you're ready to talk about the new business plan doesn't mean the guy who just walked in to take a dump is really in the mood to discuss it. It's also distracting for the bystanders who are in the middle of said dump or pee and are just trying to get things done and here you go starting a meeting. At least wait until the person has walked back into the office.

"Rinse and Go". Just cause you got them wet doesn't mean you washed them.

"Towel Tosser". I know you're scared to touch the door handle. Even though you have no problem handling money and all sorts of things that have far more bacteria on them...that paper towel you use every time you walk out of the bathroom to open the door is going to save you. Well please don't subject the rest of us to your neuroticism by lamely trying to throw the towel in the trash and having it land on the floor. It'd also be nice when you make a mess that you pick that mess up...even if it means washing your hands again and using 20 more paper towels.

Anymore you want to add...?
