BATHROOM ETIQUETTE:
If we all follow these simple standard guidelines, we'll prevent the unthinkable "oops, I didn't know you were in here" and save ourselves alot of embarrassment...
Unless the door is wide open and the light is off, ALWAYS ASSUME THE BATHROOM MAY BE IN USE!
Before turning the knob and just barging-in, KNOCK ON THE DOOR. You could add a simple, friendly greeting, such as, "hello?"
If there is no answer, then SLOWLY TURN THE KNOB TO SEE IF IT'S LOCKED. Your goal is to check the lock, not to open the door -- There may still be someone inside who doesn't understand how to respond when spoken to.
If the door is unlocked and there is no response from inside, then SLOWLY OPEN THE DOOR and enter the bathroom.
Since you'll be taking care of personal business, let others know the restroom is in use: CLOSE THE DOOR, LOCK THE DOOR, TURN ON THE LIGHT, LOCK THE DOOR, TURN ON THE FAN, LOCK THE DOOR, SING OUT LOUD.
Did you remember to LOCK THE DOOR?
Since you've made it known that the restroom is in use (and you also LOCKED THE DOOR) we should have nobody taking us by surprise. The next person coming along should have the courtesy to KNOCK ON THE DOOR and greet you with a friendly, "hello?"
If someone comes barreling along, yellow up to their eyeballs, twisting the knob off the door before knocking themselves out, feeling the impact of their skull on solid hardwood -- then you have every right to LET-OUT A BLOOD-CURDLING SCREAM in surprise. They really should know bathroom etiquette.
When you do hear a courteous, patient knock followed by a friendly, "hello?" then it's your opportunity to empathize with their need, yet reinforce your equal right to relief by responding to them with an equally cordial, yet firm, "One moment, please."
Please note that this step is not optional. You may choose other replies, including, "Hang on, buddy" or "Occupied" or "I'm busy in here." But YOU MUST RESPOND WHEN SOMEONE KNOCKS. Consider facing the wrath of a pregnant wife, raging between imbalanced hormones and a bladder reduced to the size of a pea. She has every right to bombard the door, rip you off the porcelain throne with her bare hands, and toss your inconsiderate, lazy self out the window. Please, RESPOND WHEN SOMEONE KNOCKS.
When you're finished, CLOSE BOTH THE LID AND THE SEAT (Ladies, you really should look before you leap so you don't fall-in, but closing BOTH the lid AND the seat is certainly the courteous thing to do!)
WASH YOUR HANDS. Why would anyone have to tell you? Do you want to shake someone's hand after they've touched... after they've touched ANYTHING in the restroom??!?!!?? WASH YOUR HANDS.
Please, don't be gross. WASH YOUR HANDS!
Come on, be a real man! WASH YOUR HANDS!

Another Thought...
What is the deal with Toilet Seat Protectors? I mean, there's this big tab thing in the middle that dangles into the toilet... You get the thing placed on the seat just right, but by the time you turn around and have a seat, the protector has decided to go for a swim... Maybe those guys who make those yellow Sticky-Notepads could also make Toilet Seat Protectors that stay in place while you take care of business! |
