Actually, this is more like an Overseen today:

Me, mid-morning, men’s washroom at work. I go use the one free urinal, there’s another man in there using a stall, he finishes peeing with a great big sigh, almost like maybe he wasn’t peeing, but hey… it’s a City building, all are welcome…

Even with the big sigh he let out, I finish and zip up first, I turn to the row of sink and turn on the hot water tap, drip liquid soap in my hand, and start rubbing my hands together. The other dude comes out of the stall, small man, big dumb ass coat too big for him, not a homeless but maybe it’s something he might aspire to one day, he goes to the sink next to me, turns on the cold water tap and starts splashing water and rubbing it all over his face.

As I am at work and he is definitely one of our guest/customer, I can’t really admonish him, I mean he’s an adult after all and I’m not going to waste managerial and union time with a meeting where I have to discuss the situation that happened before someone lodged a complain about me…

Anyway, after a little while, when he was back in the waiting room, I went to a good friend of mine that works the counter and told him that should the dude in the dumb ass coat sitting in the corner be called to his window to remember that he doesn’t wash his hands after using the facilities… Rubber gloves are never far
