Ask the Bathroom Guy

Dear Bathroom Guy, I recently realized that I am conducting most of my business meetings in the bathroom — at the sink, at the urinals, over the stall wall — so I decided to just finally bite the bullet and move my whole office into the bathroom. The chair fit in pretty easily but I’m [...]

Our Long Office Nightmare is Over

My office bathroom is okay. The building management keeps it pretty clean. The sinks used to have those ridiculous auto shut-off faucets but they have since been replaced with regular swivel handles.

I Don’t Want to Know All the Crazy Things You People With Hair Do (heh, I said "hairdo")

I Love You, But I Hate You Too

I want to meet the man responsible for this handiwork; this complete dedication to toilet seat coverage when going #2. I’ve been preaching this sort of thing since high school. It’s step 2 to the 5 Step Process! But this guy takes the coverage to a level beyond what I’ve ever even imagined. Look at [...]
