Toilet etiquette

[mudskipper]

You go into the toilets

There's someone washing their hands at the basin. No-one else is about.

You select trap 2 and enter. The stench is stomach churning.

Do you:

Be very British and polite and hold your breath and continue your business as quickly as possible?

Turn tail and silently enter a different cubicle thereby embarrassing the previous occupant?

Loudly say "Jeez, did something die in there?" and go into a different cubicle?

Or should it be the responsibility of the stink-maker to say "I'd give it 5 minutes" by way of warning before you go in?

...And when you're finished and washing your hands and someone else comes in, is it permissible to say "It wasn't me" as they in turn head towards the stinky trap?

(Bear in mind, this is the ladies. Perhaps in the gents malodorous cubicles are the norm).

Option 5 walk in with some flammable liquid, pour down said trap, then flick a lighted match in there, walk out and say "I love the smell of napalm in the morning"

In blokes loos you don't talk unless you know the other person well, its a man thing.

You can make faces & grunt when someone left you a wiffy package, changing traps is the only option.

'what is that person eating'

... is usually enough

[BolshieBastard]

If it stinks, I say so! And if its that bad, I've been known to exiting the trap and bogs and go to another floor.

Always wipe the seat down first too, what some leave on seats is disgusting. If someone has pinched a loaf, I always flush as a precaution.

One place I worked a lad used to go in a trap and knock one off. I said as I was waking out and someone else was walking in 'someone in trap 1 is having a wank' quite loud.

I thought ladies poo didn't smell? or is it the smell of sweaty beaver that is stomach churning?

[Spartacus]

Loudly proclaim, "what an amateur, I can do better than that".

[CloudWalker]

The company I'm at don't have cubicles.
They have private bathrooms with hand towels and scented candles

Do you mind ? Just had my tea and the last thing I want is that coming out.
