Food in the Bathroom
May 10th, 2012 by MPC Press
No one eats in the bathroom. There is a general ban on food in the can. But what about this scenario? You have just picked up your sandwich at the deli, it’s in a paper bag, and you stop in the bathroom on the way back to your desk. First, do you leave it on the counter next to the sink, risking someone’s water splash, or even theft? Or do you hold it while going number one, which is not necessarily easy, and could lead to spray (on the bag)? And do you bring it into the stall if you need to stay awhile, placing it next to you on the floor, which may not be clean? Of course, the bathroom air does not pollute your bag lunch and the bag is there for protection. But the idea of bringing food into the bathroom doesn’t sit well with people (one becomes a target of ridicule), and there is clearly some risk to the food. So, it seems to make sense first to walk back to your desk, drop off your food, and then head to Fonzie’s office.
