As I'm sure as most people do, I have a favorite shitter stall at work. It is mine. I worked there for 8.5 years, and short of only a handful of times, I have always used the same unit. About 3 years ago, I did branch into the alternate bathroom at work and scope out a safe backup plan, in case I don't have time to get to the far bathroom, or if my "office is reserved" so to speak.

Going to the bathroom anywhere outside your own house is always an adventure. You have a pretty good idea of whats going to go on while you are in there, so you have a pretty decent gauge of how solitary you need to be to take care of business.

Personally, I like a completely empty bathroom when I enter or exit the stall. I really don't care what happens in the restroom while I am in the stall. I guess I find safety and comfort behind a locked door. As part of my routine, I will check under the other stalls for feet. Typically, if my stall is occupied, I will just come back later. Sometimes I will perform an obligatory hand wash to throw off would be shitters from knowing that I am waiting. I am not sure why. I will do a quick cursory check of the other bathroom, but if there is a single person in there, I will simply wait for mine to open back up. Of course, there always dire scenarios which require an emergency contingency plan which make it ok to utilize another unit, but those are rare.

Some dudes are really open about their activity. They may grunt and groan and blow huge chunks without a bit of worry about the sounds it/they are making. Some dudes will sit in there and talk on the phone while dropping a deuce. Some are in and out in record time. I prefer that no one detects my stall work, but sometimes that is just not an option.

Then there are the urinals. This is always an enjoyable chess game. Again, I have a favorite, but I am a lot more lax on my requirements for this than I am on stall choices. If someone is on my pisser, I will choose another. Now, where I work there are exactly 4 pissers in a row. One is really short, for the handi-capable. I will never use this one, under any circumstances. Not because I would feel bad if a cripple hobbled up in there while I was pissing, its just because the damn thing aint tall enough.

This leaves three usable pissers. Mine is on the end next to the wall, this way you don't get sandwiched between two morons. If the one on the end is reserved, I will try for the third one from the end, the one next to the shorty. If it is reserved as well, you have no choice but to go for the middle, and hope these two jerks leave ASAP. Sometimes you walk in just as another guy is zipping and flushing. Those are the worst, because you still kinda have to use the empty one, so you end up appearing to choose the pisser right next to someone else on purpose. Bummer. It also seems like half the people want to make small talk while they are in there. Let me hip all you piss talkers to something. If you are not shit faced drunk and outside in someone's yard, then two dudes should not be talking to each other with their cocks in their hands. If you glean one particle of information from this post, let it be that.

Onward and upward!
