OMG! I must tell you the story that Sally told me last night about her work. Seems the boss (owner of the company where she works) has moved her to an office in the hallway right next to the men's bathroom. The smell is atrocious and the bathroom sounds are deafening! Seems there's also an office next to Sally that is occupied by a coworker whose work is hand-in-glove with Sally's. So their offices need to be in close proximity to one another. Sally complained to the owner about the unbearable conditions that she was having to endure. The owner asked Sally if she could think of any possible solutions. Sally had the brightest of ideas! She suggested that they switch the women's bathroom with the men's bathroom. Women tend to be more subtle, smell nicer than men. Daintier! Wouldn't this story be great if inserted into a novel? They switched the bathrooms and the emails that flew around the office were unbelievable. Some employees firmly stated that they will continue to use the bathroom they have been using! Others asked if this was a joke. That it sounded like Facebook tomfoolery. At any rate, it was a huge victory for Sally and she celebrated with glee! True story. Only the names of been changed to protect the guilty. Does anyone else have a similar story? I'd love to hear it!

This reminded me of an interview SK had with Craig Ferguson and joking around about writing a ladies bathroom story! ;-D

Thank you all for your responses! Love the feedback! But not_nadine's post had me in tears, I was laughing so hard! I'm sure the author of that note was from Houston. Sounds like one of my neighbors, anyway.

Dear Continental Airlines,

I am disgusted as I write this note to you about the miserable experience I am having sitting in the seat 29E on one of your aircrafts. As you may know, this seat is situated directly across from the lavatory, so close that I can reach out my left arm and touch the door.

All my senses are being tortured simultaneously. It’s difficult to say what the worst part about sitting in 29E really is? Is it the stench of the sanitation flued that is blown all over my body every 60 seconds when the door opens? Is it the woosh of the constant flushing? Or is it the passengers asses that seem to to fit into my personal space like a pornographic jig-saw puzzle?

I constructed a stink-shield by shoving one end of a blanket into the overhead compartment — while effective in blocking at least some of the smell, and offering a small bit of privacy, the ass-on-my-body factor has increased, as without my evil glare, passengers feel free to lean up against what they think is some sort of blanketed wall. The next ass that touches my shoulder will be the last!

Putting a seat here was a very bad idea. I just heard a man groan in there! This sucks! Worse yet, is I’ve paid over $400 for the honor of sitting in this seat!

I am picturing a board room full of executives giving props to the young promising engineer that figured out how to squeeze an additional row of seats onto this plane by putting them next to the LAV.

I would like to flush his head in the toilet that I am close enough to touch, and taste, from my seat.

Does your company give refunds? I’d like to go back where I cam from and start over. Seat 29E could only be worse if it was located inside the bathroom.

I wonder if my clothing will retain the sanitizing odor…what about my hair!

I feel like I’m bathing in a toilet bowl of blue liquid, and there is no man in a little boat to save me. I am filled with a deep hatred for your plane designer and a general dis-ease that may last for hours.

We are finally decending, and soon I will be able to tear down the stink shelf, but the scars will remain.

I suggest that you initiate immediate removal of this seat from all of your crafts. Just move it, and leave the smoldreing brown hole empty, and [something] a good place for sturdy/non-absorbing luggage maybe, but not human cargo.” (thanks, Corporat)

...speaking as a former stockman and "swamper outer" of bathrooms-ladies are not the delicate flowers they'd like us to believe...from playing "stick the tampon to the wall", to "let's crap in the sink"...I'd just as soon clean up after the fellas, and listening to farts be damned...

My son worked at a place where he had to clean bathrooms. He said that the women's bathroom was always nastier. He said the toilets always had a rainbow of colors and women would just put their hygiene items anywhere.

Those kinds of shenanigans don't happen in Texas, Giant. *as if!* But I haven't been a swamper outer of women's toilets lately either. *smiles, then blushes*

What the answer to this situation might have been poo pouri. You spray before you go and no one has to know. IT is true product that our office purchased.
It is funny you mentioned this - recently at the gym in the ladies change room I noted a refreshing citrusy smell after one of the women emerged from the toilet stall - there are only two - one regular and one for handicapped. Now you have me thinking - did she have some of this Poor Pouri stuff in her pocket or purse?
:hmm:
