Guy Get Mad Because The Bathroom Is In Use

[Halo_miles]

We have small bathrooms where I work. In the men's room, there are two urinals and two stalls. Because of the size, we get lineups. There are other bathrooms in the facility, but those are attached to showers for paying truck drivers and paying customers., So, muffin comes up to me and starts bitching about not being able to use the washroom.

Me: Sir, we don't have any other washroom facilities, our lease only gives us what's allowed in the guidelines.
SC: Don't you have washrooms in the back!?
Me: Those are attached to showers , and they're all in use. I'm sorry, but there is nowhere else.
SC: Well tell them to get out!
Me: I'm confused, you want me to kick out our PAYING truck drivers in the middle of their showers so you can pee? How about no?
SC: Well, I'm going somewhere else then! This place sucks!
Me: So....you're getting mad and leaving because there's no access to a service that we provide...FOR FREE? Look, I can't control people's bladders and I'm certainly not going into the washroom to tell people to pinch off their sphincters. I'm sorry you're upset, but no.
SC: I'm calling the corporate number to complain about you!
Me: That's all fine and well, but make sure you actually tell them WHAT you were complaining about. They could use the laugh.

He leaves, sputtering and calling me a jerk. I don't get people. We live in an age where everything happens instantly, and it's ruined people's manners.

"We *live in an age where everything happens instantly, and it's ruined people's manners."

You got that right! I had a lady ask me if I could go get the bathroom key and get the person using the bathroom out.

Um no. First of all, there's no key. Second of all, that is utterly rude and unacceptable. Third of all, the time you spent bitchin at me could have been better spent driving one whole exit down where there is a Walmart.

And in the time spent, another patron got in ahead of you.

Having to go to the bathroom is a miserable experience.

It doesn't excuse being an asshat.

And as a female, if the male bathroom is a single room style, and it is empty, I will use it if necessary.

The coffeeshop I go to has two bathrooms, each is a single. The are exactly the same, and if no men are waiting, I'll use the men's. They are both kept really clean.

And Halo, you should say, "you want to kick out the paying customer yourself? Sure, it's a giant trucker, tell me how that goes for you."

My store only has one bathroom. It is single unisex style. We really need at least one more, but it's an old store and I don't see it happening. When it's really busy customers whine to use the employee bathroom. Usually some absentminded employee left the stockroom door open, so the people waiting can see our bathroom. The only way we can let them is if I stand in the stockroom the whole time to make sure they don't wander around (it is admittedly unsafe, we'd all die in an earthquake) and hurt themselves. I only do this for special circumstances. Say, really little kid, pregnant lady, once someone was in tears and yeah I let them in. Just bitching about the line? Ah, no.

Oh FFS. I make frequent road trips and if its a busy time of year, YES, sometimes I have to wait to pee. I may not be thrilled, esp if I am doing the pee pee dance, but I am an adult, and can hold it.

The one time I couldn't was when I was stuck on 95 S for a good 3 hours, crawling, and having just finished off a soda. My friend and I FINALLY were able to get off somewhere, pulled into the first place we saw, along with everyone else. We were going to explode, so we used the men's room, since no one was waiting. Each (M & L) was what I call a "one-holer"

We get people asking to use our staff loo, and every time is met with "No". We can't allow customers to go out back cuz a) our stockroom is there, b) our safe and computer is there and c) there's no insurance covering customers should they injure themselves. We could lose our jobs if we let a customer go out back, and the store across the road has a loo. But we've still had so called "desperate" customers stand there and argue. In my book, if you're standing there arguing the toss, then you're not that desperate, are you?

Many years ago on a Girl Scout trip we did this. Of course if a guy came up we let him use the mens room then we took it over again.

Oh so much this! If you have the bladder control to stand & bitch at me for 5 minutes because my job's more important than you pissing, then you have the control to walk 200 feet to the public toilet on the corner of the road.

I seriously wish I'd thought of that one. I told one of my regular drivers about it (the man is 6'8) and he told me that if it happened again, to have them come knock on his shower door. I'm having a mental image of him, fresh out of the shower, towel wrapped around his waist, angry look on his face, opening the door.

In that case the pest wouldn't have to worry about going to the bathroom anymore

[Halo_miles]

There wouldn't be anything left for him to go to the bathroom with. He more than likely would have shit himself if he'd seen that giant trucker with nothing but a towel on.

It surprises me how few women seem to consider this option. I was on a road trip with 4 other ladies, we stopped at a gas station to pee, and there was already a line of 4 women at the restroom. So I went in the empty, single, men's room and my co-trippers were shocked. It's just a bathroom! I'm not required to use the urinal!

Oh, I know this feeling all too well: driving through Richmond VA at rush hour, 2 hours to go 10 miles.

Horrible times, horrible times.

Yeah, I know what you mean. When I visited Korea, we'd stop at rests stops. Some of the stalls would be Western style commodes. Some of them would be squat commodes (porcelin, with flush pedals).

There'd be a line for the western commodes. I'd use the squat commode, and never ever had to wait.

When I was visiting Japan LOVED the eastern style toilets! No touching, and (sorry if TMI) I just find it an all around more comfortable position. Most of our group would use whichever was available, but one girl would stubbornly wait for the western style one. We had the same issue with the group shower situation in the hostel. Some whole groups would line up outside the door, and we were like... There's six showers and a giant tub, you do not get to make everyone else wait because one person is shy. She needs to shower at 2:00 AM or something.
