I travel a lot for work, I think over the past few years, we have established that. I would like to talk for a few minutes today about a disturbing phenomenon (really not a phenomenon, it's probably happened for centuries, I just noticed it as a disturbing trend). As part of my travel adventures I spend a lot of time in airports. Now as it is a rule of mine to avoid public restrooms at all costs, there are those times when it just can't be prevented.
So, innocently enough I make my way in to the cess pool that is most men's rooms (ladies, I'm giving you some insight, although I'm sure you know that men and their bodily functions can be extremely disgusting). I try not to make eye contact with anyone and go get my business taken care of . As I make my way in there are things I notice....WHO in their right mind would put there bag down on the floor of a men's room? Have you not seen the studies of how far stuff flies when flushing? I try to follow the "take a deep breath, flush and run" method. But now, let me get to the root of my observation.....there is a demographic of men (I won't say the age range) who must have learned to pee at a different school....here is how it goes down.....
Guy walks up to the urinal, bends at the waist slightly while he unbuttons, (this creates a good 2 feet space from the urinal ....Really Mr,? Don't flatter yourself)....then stands at the urinal and places one or both hands on the wall over the urinal like he is about to be frisked by the cops. Do I need to get into what is wrong with this picture? First, we have already discussed the filthy factor of the men's room, so I am led to this conclusion....these guys feel as if the force that is about to flow from within them is going to be so great that they need to steady themselves as to not be blown back across the room by the shear force, and risking any sort of various diseases from the dirty walls is worth the risk. I for one am seeing the benefits of a catheter....
