More Yahoo! Bathroom Paranoia
Tuesday, Nov 27, 2001
Okay, so in the same vein as the Bathroom Cellphone story, but much more concise, here is today's Yahoo! bathroom episode:

I go to the restroom, take the far, handicapped-sized stall because stall #2 was taken, and this stall (#4) gives the appropriate 'one-stall buffer zone.'

All goes fine, I unlatch the door, go to the sink, and a Yahoo! janitorial guy goes into the stall I just vacated. I thought he was just observing the buffer zone rule too strictly, as he could have used stall #1 or #3, and buffer zone rules don't apply when it means that you'd have to actually wait to use a stall.

Before I'm done washing my hands, he walks back out of the stall, tosses something substantial into the trash, and leaves. I dry off my hands, and before tossing my paper towels in the selfsame trash, I take a peek, and it's the half-used (half unused? Which one would be the optimist in this case?) toilet paper roll from my stall.

Is there something I should know?
