We had some in a building at my work (single occupancy type), someone else then added men/women to each cause god forbid you have to use a toilet after a different gender used it 20 minutes ago

Like remember when that awful Ally McBeal show had unisex toilets and it was seen as progressive? That show had the goddamn dancing baby gif on it, that's how long ago it was

We have this at my work, and its my preferred stall, because having to listen to someone else damage porcelain is off putting from my own damage attempts.

I'm tripping right now... Don't fuck this up for me.

I'm sort of the opposite. When we still had an office there was one guy who would often be having whispered phone conversations in one of the stalls when I had my morning poo poo. I made great sport of trying to poo poo as loudly as possible whenever I heard him in there.

Feb 10, 2009




our building shares two sets of toilets with the various businesses. 2 sets of men’s and women’s, each with 2 toilets in cubicles. Every time I go to the nearest men’s, the same guy from one of the businesses is absolutely turning himself inside out in there. Just brutal sounds.

One time his dog was in the bathroom part, outside the cubicle and I was like “wtf” and he was like, between shifting his bones out, “yeah there’s a dog there” in a tone that implied he believed I didn’t know what a dog was.

Got a light, handsome?

I started a new job the other week and it has gender neutral bathrooms. First place I've worked that does. When I was being shown around the office I was like "Huh, thats a first, haven't seen that before" and moved on with my life.

Thats my gender neutral bathroom story, thank you for listening

We had gender neutral bathrooms until some guy had an absolute blow out and the receptionist puked when she walked in after him for a piss.

I felt the same way at first but I think overall it leads to a more considerate bathroom culture knowing that absolutely anybody could use the toilet after you. The bathrooms at work are probably the cleanest I've seen anywhere.

How many Astartes do you know that roll like this?
my office probably has a male to female ratio of 1:3. I recently moved desks to the area closest to the ladies and there are some harrowing noises coming out of there. apparently it is absolutely disgusting and they mess up the disabled toilet which is right next to the ladies. The gent's is usually really clean, me and some fellas in the office have a toilet Signal chat group to try to figure out who makes the mess when they crop up then organise bullying campaigns again any offender that we identify.

Isaac Butterfield whole thing is feeling threatened enough by the concept of feminists and vegans to make weekly videos about them ad nauseam, which is extremely easy to do when you never actually say anything except things that won't offend your sponsors (beef jerky and poo poo marketed as "For Blokes", or ideally beef jerky for blokes).

Essentially he's for millennials who think Christmas is on the verge of being cancelled.

Getting my 5g microchip vaxx today! Got a half day because the latest I could get was 12:30.

When I asked for the afternoon off my practice manager went real quiet and showed me some weird antivax video and I still can't tell if she's sincerely antivax or just Tryna talk me out of it because she wants the day off and she has to come in if I'm out.

She does tend to guilt me if I take a sick day, because there's only 3 of us on non-patient days, and she's arbitrarily decided noone can be at work alone, lest we steal all the gauze or something :shrug:

She's having some health problems and taking a lot of time off the past month or two, which
is fine, but the one time I was so sick I literally couldn't travel an hour and a half to work she made me feel so guilty about her having to come in that I came in for the rest of the week and literally slept all day every day.

Idk if it's weirder to pretend to be antivax to get me to stay at work for the Arvo

edit: to clarify - my Nan/Pop are in their mid 80s, and don't bitch about anything health related, they just go get some Deep Heat. It seems to be the ~60 year olds who whine. Like they have a good life left in them.

He can be funny if he's talking about funny things is the weird bit. Like he could expand his audience if he dropped the MRA angle.

Finding out your father doesn't know your age but is able to google it because you are a minor celebrity?

The gestalt of an old man being slowly elucidated via his search history is pretty good

Redezga

It's probably not best to judge a standup bit typically intended for a live audience based on a video clip. Sure some of it translates well to filming, but watching it on your computer or phone takes away some of the sense of spontaneity of the live element on top of the framing of the performer (on an elevated stage, the best lit person in the room, the loudest person in the room, seating arranged to direct all attention to them, the audience consensus, probably written to fit in the context of a larger set of material ,etc).

The writing and performance was intended for that specific kind of setting. It's the same reason why it sucks whenever someone abruptly springs a "Hey I wrote a song" and the proceed to play it at you specifically. It just isn't really the time or place but you'll probably sit there quietly and smile politely anyway.

Well yeah, but that doesn't mean it was written for a television performance. Odds are it was part of an existing hour and was cherry picked and edited to be appropriate for television. I'll be honest that I'm not really a fan of Demi, but I've been around enough of it to know it's not really the same thing as seeing it live.
