Post Punk Kitchen Forum

speaking of food in bathrooms.
in the office building i work in we share the 3rd floor with another company and we share a bathroom in the hallway and i regularly see people from the other company bring coffee cups and tupperware containing food into the bathroom for reasons ive never figured out.
ive also seen people bring open food from the cafe downstairs back upstairs leave it on the sink in the bathroom while they are going to the bathroom.

DONT BRING FOOD INTO A PUBLIC BATHROOM!

They're probably bringing stuff in to wash out in the sink. I wash my coffee cups out in the bathroom sink sometimes or dump the remaining coffee down the sink rather than pour it all in the trash.

I hate that. Not the coffee but the tupperware - little bits of food always clog up the sink eventually.

Thongs?? Splinters!

Sorry, I usually double check the words I use for the first time :D

ive seen people do that too which also confuses me because our office has a small kitchen and their office appears larger than ours so i ASSUME they have a kitchen but im not sure.

but i also see people just bringing food in there.....

i wont get into how gross they are with their "bathroom habits"
i wish we had our own bathroom they are nasty

What am I supposed to do? Walk past the bathroom, all the way across the building to my desk, put stuff on my desk, and then walk all the way back across the building to go to the bathroom? Seriously, I've got like 45 minutes for lunch, and I already used up 15 minutes walking down to the cafe downstairs and waiting for them to make me a sandwich and put it in a bag and charge me for it, which you'd think wouldn't take five minutes but they seem to manage it. Either way, I now have a total of 30 minutes left of my lunch "hour," and I'm not going to waste it walking back and forth across the building to save somebody's sense of propriety. Lunch is in a bag, and I've left it next to the sink-- it's not like I'm taking it right into the stall, right? So who cares? You should be glad I wash my hands after poopin'. And now I barely have enough time to watch my Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged and Zero Punctuation videos while I eat before it's time to get back to work, grinding away at spreadsheets and stuff. So yeah, I'm gonna leave my sandwich by the sink.

if i'm out and i'm carrying a coffee and i have to use a bathroom, i take my coffee in with me and put it down wherever i can. i just don't lick the bottom of the cup afterward. i figure that coffee can't possibly get dirtier or germier than my shoes, which i touch all the time every day. seriously, there are germs everywhere. just don't roll around on the bathroom floor or suck on the faucet knobs or anything, and you'll probably be all right.

People can bring whatever food they want into the bathroom, not my problem if they eat poo spores!

OH IT'S ON!!!

Oh yeah? It's ON?

Do you even LIFT?

I feed my dog meaty, wet dog food off plates I also use. Is that gross?

Jells yeah I li....wait, I'm not sure what you mean.

Bathrooms are generally cleaner than you think, and poo spores can be ANYWHERE.

According to Anderson Cooper (god I need to get better and away from Day Time TV) says there are poo spores on every single person's cellphone. Mmmmm.

My 10 year old sense of humour finds "poo spores" really funny.

My husband was convinced that we could NOT leave our toothbrushes on the bathroom counter, because poo spores. So what does he do instead? He puts them in the same drawer as the TOENAIL CLIPPERS (which he never cleans after using). Apparently invisible poo spores are worse than actual, visible toe jam residue.

We got new toothbrushes and little plastic covers for them after that.

i like that we turned this into a thread about poo in under 50 posts.

But now you're going to have to wash the little plastic covers regularly, or the toothbrushes will be sitting in a different kind of bacteria. On the bathroom counter, your brushes would have a chance of drying out; now you've upped your chances of mold.

You're welcome.

Simple solution: open a new toothbrush every time you brush.

But when you flush the toilet, anything that is exposed in the bathroom is enveloped in a cloud of poo spores...unless it has a little plastic cover.

I'm never brushing my teeth again.

or just close the toilet when you flush? or put your toothbrush in the medicine cabinet?

Besides, I figure poo spores aren't going to kill me.
