This is not a library


I have the misfortune of working for a company where the ratio of men to women is about 9-1. At times this place is a complete sausage fest. To make matters worse about 50% of those men are highly overpaid winy little pussies who overcompensate their inadequacies by parading around dressed like pimps and driving expensive cars.

One would think that in a place overrun by people with multiple Master's and PhD degrees one thing that would not be a problem is the bathroom etiquette. This could not be farther from the truth. Some of the so called "high rollers" here think of the men's room as their own personal reading room. They bring stacks of news papers and magazines with them and spend hours just reading. Do they really enjoy the various sounds and smells? To each their own, I guess. However, this practice of occupying a bathroom stall for extended periods of time is causing problems for those who want to use the bathroom for its intended purpose. I am getting a little tired of having to "take a number".

Is it possible that the "smarter" the person is, the more he/she lacks in social skills and awareness?

Hmm, I am beginning to think that.
