Faith: A kid. Angel's got a kid. Wesley: Connor. Faith: A teenage kid born last year. Wesley: I told you, he grew up in a hell dimension. Faith: Right. And what, Cordelia spent her last summer as… Wesley: A divine being. Faith: Uh-huh. Can I just ask--What the hell are you people doing?

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

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Bathroom stall doors without hooks are evil.
Yeah. I hate having to put my nice leather jacket on the floor of a bathroom stall....

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?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Bathroom stall doors without hooks are evil.
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.

I prefer the fold-down mini-shelves for purses, anyway. Either that, or the waist-level hooks work very well.

Big and/or fluffy skirts aren't impossible in regular bathroom stalls, but I prefer the handicapped stall.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

In ours at work, the hooks are halfway down the door, which is okay since I don't often have a long coat to hang.
At the Delta Hotel in Montreal, they have hooks at the top and at the middle, with signs telling you to not use the top ones, which crack me up.

I haven't seen a fold down shelf in ages. I always liked those.

I think I'm a little too attached to the roominess. They're just so spacious! Why wouldn't you want all that room every time?
Um. I dunno. I sense that maybe you're utilizing your bathroom stall in a way the rest of us are not.
What do you need that much room for?

Last time I used one, it flipped up while I was on the can. Not a fan.
