Toilet cubicle etiquette

[MaryBethMayfair]

Female toilets in work. As per diagram.
AIBU that C is the 'correct' choice of cubicle, assuming all cubicles are empty upon entry?

I was just in cubicle C, and someone entered moments behind me, and went into B. I think that's madness and can't fathom why, out of the two remaining cubicles available, you'd opt to go into the one right next to someone. curious to know if others would have done the same.

I believe that statistically, A is apparently the cleanest cubicle, due to it being used least.

YABU: B is a good cubicle choice, I like to be in the middle of things.
YANBU: B is madness and should only be selected when A and C are otherwise engaged.

I used to clean toilets and it was always, without a doubt, the toilets furthest away from the door that were cleanest. Never underestimate how much laziness factors in to everyone's decisions. Not sure how it would apply in such a small room though.

I read this too about A will be the cleanest one. My first choice would be C 😂

It's not the wees you have to worry about 😂😂

It is when the idiots decide to hover.

Why is the first sink smaller than the other two?

Was it added later or replaced maybe?

@MissScarletInTheBallroom

Who are these people who don't check?

I don't know but there seems to be a lot of them, probably even some on this thread. 👀.

I can think of no other reason for using the sink furthest from the cubicle you've just used than to disassociate yourself from your, ahem, output.

When I worked in an office I always used the same cubicle (assuming it was free) out of habit...I wouldn't pay an attention to where other people were, my priority would be using "my" cubicle.

Wooptie fucking ping - somebody used the cubicle next to you - nae really worth greetin’ over is it.

Haha this made me laugh. I would always go for A but if someone was in A or C I’d go for the other, avoiding B. If someone was in B I’d take A probably. Of course all of this could change depending on my dynamic assessment of the state of said cubicles upon entry. Floaters, not flushed, no bog roll etc., that would need some thought …

Child size innit

Microsoft paint is not as user-friendly as I remember it being in my youthful days of high school ICT. I did briefly attempt a copy/paste to ensure accuracy of the sinks, but I failed.

I'm quite proud of what I produced given the technology troubles I faced. Even though I'm apparently completely bonkers to have articulated into words my pee-time musings, let alone take the time to make a diagram!

BEWARE OF FART STAY ONE APART

anyone who chooses to use the cubicle next to me despite others being available is a poo pervert and you can’t convince me otherwise.

And there was me heading to HR to lodge a formal grievance 🙄
Naebdy's greeting, hen.

DH once told me there is a strict etiquette for men and the urinals in their toilets.

If there are 5 spaces (starting with number 1 closest to the door) the 1st person to arrive should use 5, the next person goes to 1, the next goes to 3, the next then goes to 2 and the last one to 4.

Apparently the 4th person goes to 2 and not 4 because 4 is further away and bypassing 2 would either be an indication of avoiding that person or implying that they specifically want to be next to the person at number 5.

🙄

It was a good effort, nonetheless, OP.
😂

(If it wasn't clear, I was joking about the smaller sink being part of a refurb or something)

Awa bile yer heid -HEN 🤣🤣🤣

Lol.. our office toilets have 2 cubicles and for some reason only one of them is ever used. There is always only one person in the toilets at a time... if someone is in there, we wait for them to leave before going in. It's just an unwritten rule 😂

dinna fash yersels

Can anyone join in with the Scottish?

Gonnae no’ dae that
😂

More the merrier!

You're right OP. Its like being on an empty bus or train and someone choosing to sit right next to you. Why would anyone choose bot to give and have more personal space?

It's bad enough having to take a shit at work with someone in there at the same time, never mind having them right next to you and then navigation the awkward sink moment 🙃

Right!? My husband used to tell me about the Office Grunter, who used to make all sorts of pushing noises 😅 😱

Get tae fuck

I’m going to sound bonkers but hear me out. One of my major school memories is being in a loo at school and Julie Fairclough and Lorraine Casey from 4th year went into the toilets on either side of me and peered over. I was 12 and mortified.

Until this day I always go (where possible) to a cubicle on the end if they aren’t floor to ceiling walls. In fact I go to the end one mostly regardless.

Maybe there was no loo roll in A?

If I thought about it at all I'd go to the one with an open door, to avoid possible broken lock embarrassment, but other than that the nearest.

I thought this was going to be about talking to the person in the next cubicle, which I'd agree is very poor etiquette!
