So this past Friday I went down to a bar in Philly. It was a good time, but not really my scene. Anyway, 2 beers into the night I went into the bathroom to take care of business when I was greeted by a fresh-off-the-street bathroom attendant. For those of you that know me, I am a pretty laid back person, but there are certain things that really piss me off and bathroom attendants are on the list.
Here’s why.
5. They often make pointless conversation with you in hopes of making a buck. I know all about bullshitting with people, I do it all day. The last thing I want is to have to deal with another “salesman” while I’m trying to get my pee on.
4. They make an already somewhat awkward situation even worse. If I am in there alone, all I can think about is how I am going to get out of there without tipping the guy. Plus, the fact that he is probably staring at me while I’m peeing. Yea no thanks.
3. They make me want to skip washing my hands so I can avoid the attendant. I’ll try to run out of there so I don’t feel so bad about not giving him a dollar for tearing off a paper towel. Then I have dirty hands AND a guilty conscience.
2. The line of guys in the bathroom (and there always is one) will watch you try to either sneak out without washing your hands or sneak out without tipping. Either way you are an asshole.
1. I am already paying a 5 dollar cover, 9 bucks for a Car Bomb, 4 dollars for a beer plus tips for the bartender. There is no need for me to spend MORE money for some idiot to give me a hand towel.
So yea, I have beef with bathroom attendants. Do women have the same thing in their place of business?
I think Michael Scott said it best in last week’s Ep with, “I thought you want your privacy in there?”
