What's that cup doing there?

One day last week I went to the office bathroom and noticed that a big plastic Taco Bell cup was sitting on the toilet paper dispenser in one of the stalls. No lid, appeared to be empty. The sight seemed odd at first, but then it occurred to me that someone had probably brought it in with them to use as a tabo.

Yes, I have heard of the tabo. It's not something I use, but it's not a foreign concept to me either. Thing is, this is the first time I've seen that at the office, and quite a few Filipinas have worked here over the years (I'm only part, so I'm not counting myself).

...It just hit me that I've been with this company in one form or another for nearly ten years. That frightens me a bit.

welcome to the toilet

Hello, and welcome. I decided to start up my own general blog even though it's been a few years since I last did this regularly. Lately I've been reading the blogs of other people, and I've missed writing about everything and nothing. I begin with something I was reminded of after reading this open letter. While I also come across what's mentioned in said letter from time to time, this issue is a bit different. At my job, the toilet in one of the stalls is one of those low-flow toilets, but the angle of the bowl is such that some objects don't move enough, or at all, after the initial flush. I end up either flushing multiple times or holding the handle down after I flush to rise the water enough that it un-sticks the paper from the side of the bowl. This is all bad, because it completely defeats the purpose of having a low-flow toilet; however, the alternative isn't very attractive. Oh well, what are you gonna do?
