in the building next to the building i'm working in.. on the top floor there's like this "executive / special people" area waaay at the far end of the building.
the entry area alone is something out of a modern architecture magazine. spacious, immaculate, filled with natural light. they have (real) potted plants inside and, a buddhist water fountain thing. and, believe it or not, a shower (i don't think i'd ever need it, but it's good to know it's there).
then, you turn the corner, and.. there it is...
1 stall. the stall. actually, the word "stall" does not do it justice. it's more like a private suite. with a full-sized, ceiling-to-floor door, which, i'd be willing to put money on, is soundproofed.
once inside and seated, there is another small fountain in the corner. the soft, bowel movement-inducing sound of trickling water fills the air. very relaxing.
but that's not the best part. there is an actual window in the bathroom, with a view to the outside world. not one of these fogged over ones either, but a real window. .. with nice wooden shutters (the horizontal kind) that you can open and close. because of the placement of the window, and being on the top floor, no one can see in but you can see out. and i mean, see out.. over treetops all the way to the nearby mountains and beyond.
to say that this was a life-changing bowel movement might be exaggerating a little bit. but not quite.
i feel like a different man.

Costa Rican plumbing's come a long way, huh?
But is there a bidet, floop? I ask you, is there a bidet?

there's no bidet. but, this ain't France.
i did forget to mention that they have actual towels. not paper towels, but towels. when you're done with them you just throw them in this basket.
and don't get me started on the absorbancy of the toilet paper.
can you say "4-ply"?

Congratulations on the find!
Do they have the little paper hats that you can sit on or do they figure only refined gentlemen with clean bottoms will be sitting on the bowl? Is there a urinal or is that too working class? And finally, why isn't there a lock on the door to keep the riffraff out? |

there is a lock. it's essentially a "single" bathroom. even though it feels like a New York loft. there's only one toilet. in another room inside the big room (with the sinks and the shower). if you go in and see the other door closed, it is understood that someone is in there and not to disturb.

| I meant why don't you need a key to get in. Isn't that how most executive bathrooms are (as I have learned on TV, where gaining a key to the executive bathroom is a status symbol)? |

not this one apparently. i don't think they expect anyone to know about it. it's way hidden. i probably shouldn't even be up there.
anyway, i have to go.. (guess where?)

I like having unisex bathrooms in this country because it means now there are toilets that men use that get cleaned once in a while. Not that I blame people for not cleaning men-only bathrooms. You wouldn´t get me near a bathroom that more than five guys use with a mop.

Floop, that was beautiful, a poetic elegy to the bathroom. Thankyou.

I've always thought there should be music in bathrooms...especially the big, 10+-stall corporate ones.
I mean, sometimes - you absolutely must shit at work. It happens.
Wouldn't it be great if the idiot that decided to do the exactly the same thing in the stall directly next yours didn't have to listen to the sounds that accompany a bowel movement...and vice versa?
Muzak, just loud enough to drown out the schitsounds...it just makes sense to me. The silence is deafening in bathrooms.
Pixies tunes done acuostic bluegrass Muzak style.

I thought about that.
The music would have to be generic enough...you don't really want the actual human voice in the bathroom with you...all muzak...and no bad pop...customized as to location/clientele...
I've actually thought alot about this.
Some Japanese dude will probably read my mind, steal my identity and market the idea now.
Then I guess I'll have to come to his concert, climb onstage and shoot him 5 times in the head at point blank range.
I love sobriety. |

I'm not so sure. If I go into a toilet in a restaurant and they're piping in the same music as is playing in the restaurant, it freaks me out, for some reason.

Yeah, but at least you can't hear the grunting and splashing coming from the stall next to yours.
Schitsounds vs muzak.
You decide.

This is a interesting thread, I usualy don't spend my time on the internet talking about bathrooms so... you know it's nice for a change.
I have a "thing" about using public toliets like I'm sure a few other people do. I never use the bathrooms at school, ontop of that all of the highschools in our city don't really have real bathrooms. Their just kind of hallways... it's hard to explain but I think probably all public schools have this now.
I'm sure it's to prevent violence and smoking or what not in the bathrooms so people can see in because there is no real door into the bathroom. It's stupid though because I really don't feel comfortable using them.
I haven't used a school toliet in around five years - and I'm proud. Even if they did have "real bathrooms" I'm pretty sure I probably wouldn't use them anyways. |

i have a thing with "home base" and if you ever come to vancouver i can give a list of suitable seldom used restrooms. it's really tough to find a cleean one, i'm the type of guy that will go home to do his business if he is less than 20 minutes away and then come back or if i have to put down like three layers of paper. anyways, yeah, a good public is good to find.
Rat: do you have any regrets?
Pig: no, but i had a parrot once
Rat: that made absolutely no sense
Pig: well, it made sense to me until i learned he couldn't talk
Rat: i wish you couldn't talk
Pig: you would've liked my parrot |
