Stage Fright

Ok that was funny... I think I just stage-frighted a guy out of the bathroom at work. I walked into the bathroom and there was a guy standing at one of the urinals, getting ready to pee. I took my position at the urinal next to him (there were only 2 and I had to go, so I was adhering to the accepted Rules of Urinal Etiquette). Not that I was really paying attention too closely, but I'm pretty sure I never heard the telltale trickle of successful micturation coming from my right. The guy zipped up and left before I was done, obviously frustrated. Almost as funny as recognizing when someone is having a tough time, but getting it going... and then making them clam back up with a loud cough or clearing your throat or something. This is definitely a violation of "The Rules", but humorous nonetheless.

Not funny: While I was waiting to wash my hands, I noticed that he was washing his with his janitorial gloves on. Apparently the entire preceding transaction took place while wearing said gloves (including the implied positioning/aiming). I think this guy was missing the point of gloves, at least as far as minimizing the spread of infection. At least we know there wasn't any pee on them... (HA!)

Follow-up to my preceding post:
We almost had our first official elbow-drop at work -- someone just answered that "they'll be 39 in August". IT IS JUNE 1ST FOR PETE'S SAKE!
