He slept on the public bathroom floor with just paper towels between him and… you know, the miscellaneous stuff that always ends up on the floor? Yikes!

It gets better: it was in the “handicapped” washroom - the only one with a lock and space to stretch out – and, due to the vagaries of the building’s plumbing, the one that regularly backed up and completely flooded the room and hall with stinky effluent.

Oh my! and for all these years I’ve been mentally pronouncing your name “management-man”.
Don’t ask me why.

I’ve always read it “Mountain G-man.”

I used to work at an office equipment company where the shipper/receiver used to put down paper towels on the floor in one of the bathrooms and snooze.
He called it “Rat’s nest time.”

Oh, I’ve heard to those paper towels! The ultra-high-tech ones that, with just a single thin layer, shield you from all the excreta-borne pathogens, toxic cleaning supplies and other grime on the average public bathroom floor? Hmm…no, wait. I haven’t heard of any such paper towels. And until I do, your co-worker is nasty as all hell.

If you’re still having a hard time keeping track, I’ve put together this handy list of …
Things I Do Not Want To Hear Over The Phone
[ol]
[li]Bathroom Noises.[/li][li]Sex Noises.[/li][li]Eating Noises.[/li][/ol]
One time I called a colleague about at about 7 on a Sunday night to remind him to bring something to work the next day. He answered the phone and is going, like, “Uh–OK–Uh–I’ll–Uh–Make Sure–Uh–To Bring–Uh–The Whatits–Uh–To Work–Uh–Tomorrow …” As quickly as I could I just said “OKthanksgbye”, but what I really wanted to do was yell, “For God’s sakes man, I know you own a freaking answering machine, why the HELL did you answer the goddamned phone?”
[/QUOTE]
So were these bathroom, sex or eating noises?
Unless you heard some moaning (in which case I’d hang up even before the “OKthanksgbye”), I’m hoping he was doing some type of treadmill exercise. . . alone.

Clearly, you have never seen my ass.

I have issues with guys who converse with each other while they’re in the stalls, too. It’s creepy.

Then you would be damned uncomfortable in some ladies’ rooms. I have been having conversations with friends from stall to stall, and had other women we didn’t know join in! 
My cell phone is for my convenience, not other people’s. I answer it only when I choose to, and never when I’m in the bathroom.

I’m one of those truly bizarro women who won’t converse stall-to-stall. A co-worker who had seen me enter a stall shortly after she entered the bathroom tried to ask me a question while we were both in our respective stalls doing our business. I shot out a quick, “Hang on..with you in a sec when I’m done.”
She teased me afterwards for being bathroom-shy. Well, yeah. I take care of my business in private and don’t like to have conversations while I’m in the can. I call her potty-talker and she calls me bathroom shy.
