Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

I've always treated it that way, though sometimes I feel guilty -- what if I take it on a whim, and someone comes in who really needs it 30 seconds later?

Even if it happened, (unlike a handicapped parking space) you're gonna be out of there in < 2 minutes, so shouldn't be a massive deal. I'll generally take another available stall (if any) unless I have bags at the mall, or need a quick clothing change, or something.

Well, for starts he has a brain and would use the power of logic to a) see that Palpatine was a Sith Lord; b) not assign the known to be unstable Annakin to keep an eye on him; and c) when he showed up to arrest the exceedingly powerful evil guy he'd bring some staff.

BWAHAHAHAHA!!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I hate keeping track of which stall has a fully functional toilet and door and is not completely visible in the mirror. Used to be the handicapped stall fulfilled all those criteria nicely.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Can we all agree that bathroom stalls without doors are evil?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Single stall men's rooms, I'm assuming?

Yesm. I hate that shit anyway -- a one-holer should always be single-sex!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Bathroom stall doors without hooks are evil.

Hah! You should get license plates with "ARAGORN," like the Jeep I was behind a few months ago (with a plate holder that said "There and Back Again").

Reason #1127 Why I love the Buffistas:

You get it right away.

They removed the hooks from ladies' after a raft of purse theft.

Yeah. I hate having to put my nice leather jacket on the floor of a bathroom stall....

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I think the unspokenness depends on how public the restroom is. If it's in, say, an interstate rest area I think there's more of a reason to leave the acessible stall free than if it's in your office.

More bathroom ettiquette: the women's bathroom closest to me has had a toiletout of order for the past I don't know how long. So there is, in effect, only one. When one goes in and sees that the one occupiable stall is ovccupied, is it better to quietly retreat and go find another bathroom or say something? I opt for silence, and when I'm the occupier and someone says something from the door, I don't answer. Am I being rude?

But crime-free! Or whatever. That is the rationale, isn't it? At least in women's rooms, there are said to be roving bands of thieves who will reach over the door and steal your purse off the hook, while your pants are down so you can't get them. Or something.
