Work Tales: In The Shitter

The mens’ rooms here in the building are pretty standard–two urinals, two stalls. One stall regular-style; the other is handicapped.

When you close the doors to the stalls, there’s an open space between the door itself and the slab of plywood that holds up the door. I guess you might characterize this space as unduly large.

Someone in this building is so disturbed by this open space, and the view it allows to the activities of shitting and pissing taking place inside the stall, that this person regularly hangs strands of toilet paper down from the top of the space to the floor as a homemade block to any unwanted eyes.

This person not only hangs these pieces of toilet paper, but each day, the cleaning crew comes in and removes the toilet paper, and he REHANGS THE PAPER.

This is a man so obsessed with leaving his genitals and ass unexposed in the mens’ room that he takes time every day to eliminate even the tiniest sliver of a view into his privates.

That’s insane. I’m not saying I want guys watching me shit, but this is ridiculous.
