I just heard a woman discussing bad bathroom behavior with her friend. Apparently, she was up in arms specifically over people who use their feet to flush the toilet.
Seriously? Is this bad? Because I’ve done it for years.
Any time I can NOT touch something in a public bathroom is great by me, but I especially avoid things touched by people between their use of the toilet and their use of the sink, soap or sterilizing gel.
She said, “People actually put their feet on the handles! It’s so gross.” All I could think was that a foot from the ground was less gross than the alternative, but now I admit I’m a little worried about being on the same list as the ill-mannered. Sunny D does take pride in her considerate ways, after all. But if the solution is to touch one of those handles, this gal will just have to be bad.

Secretary: Why is the printer giving me this message all the time about mismatched paper size?
Printer Repairman from IT: Because it thinks it’s trying to print a mismatched paper size (followed by a lengthy nonsensical explanation about the mind of a printer).
After a few minutes of spewing more IT printer mumbo-jumbo but never really looking AT anything, Printer Repairman from IT takes advantage of Secretary’s spinning head and bolts for the door: Feel free to call me if it acts up again. I’m always around and happy to help.

Green Acres is so NOT the place for me.
How It Should Work
You simply wave your badge at the machine and the chain gate opens. You proceed through gate. If someone ahead of you does this, the door stays open long enough for ohhh, about 10 cars to get through. Note: There is security into the building requiring you to scan your card again at the office door, so it’s not as if a terrorist could slide through the gate and have willy-nilly access to the office.
How It Actually Works
First person waves their badge, gate opens, and they proceed. Second person stops at open gate, waits for gate to completely close again, waves badge, gate opens, and they proceed. Third person stops at gate, waits for gate to completely close again, waves badge, gate opens, and they proceed. Fourth person….well, you get it.
Is each person in line really that stupid? Is there a rulebook mandating this as proper procedure? Or is it just mindless mimicking?
I don’t know, but it drives Sunny D almost as mad as women who pick the stall right next to you in the bathroom when no others are occupied.
