PORCELAIN ETIQUETTE 101

let's suppose you go into a public restroom, wishing to use the toilet. you find a stall, lock the door behind you, and proceed to go about your business.

and then two (or more) other people come into the restroom and proceed to have a very loud and exuberant conversation right in front of your door.

once you're done, your normal course of action would be to flush, exit the stall, wash and dry your hands, leave the restroom and go on about your day, right? if only those people weren't standing right there...

so what do you do? do you exit right into the middle of their conversation? or do you sit in perfect silence in your stall until they're done, hesitating to interrupt but at the same time quite possibly seeming like you're intentionally spying on them?

decisions, decisions. XD

also, there's a grasshopper here at work. it's currently hopped up into one of the lights in the ceiling. we have no idea where it came from, but it's been the subject of much speculation and curious craning of necks.

once again reiterating the fact that we very much tend to take our excitement where we can get it. XD

(and this certainly beats the pigeon walking around in the train station this morning!)
