inconsideration - n. rude behavior

Now, this probably won't read like you'd imagine... actually, I'm certain it won't. I'm talking about people, restrooms and work. I guess I just don't get it, I mean how difficult is it to flush the toilet again if you've taken a dump? I mean you wouldn't leave it floating around, if you did it at home... so why would you leave stains of it at work?

The funny thing is, this is women I'm talking about. You'd think they would be more considerate, considering communal use, but alas, time and again, I come across many a stalls where women have not adequately flushed their waste.

Speaking of women and restrooms, have you ever noticed how uncomfortable you feel whilest attempting to take a dump in a public restroom? Everyone does it, but somehow it seems inappropriate. I rarely, if ever, hear another person go... I use to think maybe people just didn't have to, but that's strange, since regular bowel movement is a sign of good, working health. Not to say that I would want to hear another person go, but if someone does, it's a natural process, so why the embarrassment? And in the rare occasions that I do overhear another person perusing the laboratories, I don't hear them GO, usually I just happen to hear a foot tap, or a creak, and realize that there is someone else in the bathroom, silent. I've even gone as far as to take my sweet time zipping up my dress pants, and washing my hands. Still not a peep from the stallmate, and it's not until I begin to make my exit from the restroom, do I hear another sound. If everyone goes, why feel so uncomfortable? It's one thing to make the *ploop ploop ploop* sound, and quite another to make such a stench that the bathroom needs to be evacuated, even before entrance... so unless your shit stank, then stop what you're not doing. It makes me uncomfortable just thinking about how everyone else feels uncomfortable...

It's the same with buying condoms, it seems. The idea of going to the store just to buy condoms is inappropriate. You just cannot do it. You have to pick up the non-essential box of Triscuits as you get into line at the store, so as you have something to hide the large variety pack of Trojan condoms underneath. All it implies is that you're getting some, what's the big deal?

Alas, I digress, people flush your shit, seriously. It's disgusting.
