Eating in the toilet

[Raleigh Chopper]

TFI....

Anyway the thing that I never understand is why people stop talking when they go into a cubicle. If you go into the loo and a mate is there at a urinal/sink everyone chats away as if they weren't in a loo at all.
However, as soon as someone has decided to SIT DOWN, it's as if it's illegal to continue to chat & the rules are stricter than a library...
Why is this!?

In a word concentration.
In a crowded toilet the last thing any bloke wants is to
a. Produce a huge splash and plonk (with a neptunes kiss) resulting in giggles from beyond the door.
b. Blow out a huge wet fart amplified by the porcelain bowl resulting in silence from beyond the door.
You then sit tight in the hope that you are not going to stench out the whole of the gents and the need to carry out a courtesy flush or two.
Have you ever sat on the loo and the guy in the next cubicle is carrying out a and/or b, it puts you in an awkward situation especially if you both emerge and wash hands at the same time.

I saw a guy in the WSU bogs the other day with his pint on the floor by his feet and an open sarnie box resting on the top of the urinal.

Very odd behaviour.

That is just soooooo wrong it's made me feel Thomas et Dicky !!! Bluuugghhhh !! The Dirty skanky b*****d !!!!

No one is taught not to do this sort of thing and to be honest, all politeness and etiquette is going down the pan, see what I did there?
Here, there seems to be no such thing as table manners etc, I have no end of enjoyment at restaurants, even at posh ones, watching diners struggle to use the simple tools provided.
It is usually very easy to spot the difference between locals and expats.
The pinnacle for me was watching a diner proceed to scrape the gravy around the plate with the blade of his knife and then proceed to slowly lick both sides, he did this at least 4 times.
Lucky it wasn't a steak knife.

I was at a music festival once and queuing up to use the loo. The guy in front was doing his number 2. He came straight out without washing his his hands but the worrying thing was he was wearing chefs clothes.

Really cannot believe the amount of people who do not wash their hands after using the toilet...1's or 2's...when using the urinals you will get splash back or dribbles over your clothes,doesn't matter how careful you are...these same people who don't wash come out the toilet and dip their hands into the bar snacks...your turn next to take some bar snacks....

Even worse when blokes finish at the urinal, fail to wash them but still use the hand dryer....

I was at the Amex bogs and as usual we were packed in like sardines ,and the guy next to me must have been saving his up as everyone around him was subjected to his splashes as he forced his urine out like a bl*ody fire hydrant splashing off the urinal .Most would tone it down a bit but this guy seemed to get some sort of macho pleasure from watching people try and side step their way to the right with their crown jewels in their hands .
