what's your office's "bathroom situation"?

We just moved to a new space and I HATE IT! If you want to use the bathroom, you have to go through the conference room to get there. Right now I have to pee soooooo bad, but there is this huge meeting going on, and I don't feel like walking through there, and having the "flush" noise be heard on the conference call. ARG! Whoever planned this space is clearly not very bright!

Re: what's your office's "bathroom situation"?

  • In my office, it's just my boss and myself and we have a nice bathroom in the back of the office that is only used by us. I have been working here for over a year and just last week my boss told me that I need to let her know when im going back to the bathroom. Which sounds totally stupid to me..I mean we are both adults do I really need to tell you when I have to pee? 

  • Wow those are both horrible situations. Who the hell puts the only bathroom basically inside a conference room? At my old job, I worked on an assembly line so you had to ask someone to take your spot or run really quick to the bathroom so you wouldnt get backed up. But my current situation isn't bad. I work in a more office type setting, but a couple of the secretaries act like 5 year olds and yell "Eww! Who sh*t in here??" Its almost always the men, haha, but still. Its a bathroom, thats what happens in a bathroom. Get over it.
  • at school, we have a one-seater for the entire department.  that's TEN PEOPLE.  seven women, three men.  i teach on the opposite end of the hall, so half the time when i run up there to pee, someone got in there before me and i have to wait outside and hope they finish before the bell rings.  and when substitutes come in, half of them can't seem to remember the protocol that we have set up: if you aren't occupying the bathroom, turn the light off so everyone knows it's empty; and put the frigging seat down.  also, our janitor quit, so lately we've all been trying to wield those huge rolls of toilet paper while holding up a skirt from dipping into the pee water because we don't have the key to unlock the toilet paper dispenser.  our bathroom situation pretty much blows.  
  • Wow, I feel lucky.

     I work in a huge office building, each floor has a really nice bathroom with about 10 stalls per floor per gender.

  • Ours is semi-public but it is mainly our office that uses it. 2 stalls for 10 people.  Not too bad but not very private.  Way too often it reeks which skeeves me out to use.

  • There used to be four sets of bathrooms in our building for what is a decent sized building with a couple hundred people in it.  We're on a military base with many different groups.

    A couple years ago, a group moved into the upstairs and renovated the whole second floor and then closed half of it off.  Not sure if they kept the bathrooms on that side of not, but either way, can't get to them if they are still there.  The remaining upstairs bathrooms have only four stalls.

    Downstairs, another group moved into the other side and closed it off about three months ago.  The bathrooms on that side have 10 stalls each I believe.  However, you can only get to them now if you want to go outside, walk to the end of the building, and come back in.  Sucks during the summer, winter, or when it's raining.

    On our side, there are smaller bathrooms with 5 stalls each.  Wouldn't be bad, except that there's a conference room that some training group found and has taken over.  So if they're on break, there's a wait for the bathroom unless you go to one of the others.

  • This post is quite amusing. I put so much energy into avoiding people in the bathroom, I can't even imagine the conference room situation.
