Where I work, the toilets in the men’s room have uncomfortably little space between seat-level and water-level. I have to reach down and daintily hold the danglies up, or they dip into the water. Absurd. (If that’s the worst thing that happens to me this week, it’s a pretty good week!) ---

Eh, maybe had it happen once or twice. I don’t wear loose underwear that would allow that to happen and I generally don’t sit naked. ---
