When you are short, it is really hard to squat. the toilet at the theatre where i work is some sort of freaky tall toilet where my feet don't touch the ground sitting on it normally!

Some of the handicapped-accessible toilets at my school are high enough that I'm on tiptoes! And I'm way taller than you. I don't use those if I can help it.

I usually use those, and never notice until it's occupied and I try a normal stall and have that empty air moment where I fall.

I'm sorry, but that image makes me laugh. I fell into a sofa the other day, but hardly ever onto the toilet.

I don't fall in in. I fall towards, when my quads relax.

So stop it.

Quick trivial first-world dilemma poll -- Hec is getting antsy about the trip to Vegas and wants me to get tickets now. Gambler!Phil gave us all his credit card info for ticket-getting... except, it turns out, the all-important phone number, without which we're SOL. Hec has already left to pick up Emmett (though I seriously doubt he has Phil's number anyway), and I sent an email to Phil but he hasn't responded.

Should I:

a. Keep waiting, and watch the ticket prices continue to go up and up, or

b. just go ahead and put them on one of my credit cards and eventually get paid back? (Which would anyhow save Phil the $100 extra it'll cost to have paper tickets mailed to us, which is the way we'd have to do it otherwise)

Too short to squat.

I wish I could just call my boss and tell her that I'll take the next 40 minutes Leave Without Pay. Seriously. I just want to go home and have a cuppa tea.

Sorry, JZ, that is exactly the kind of decision I hate making for myself.

If one is squatting, there is no reason not to lift the seat out of the potential pee zone.

That's okay. You're not obliged to opine -- you already gave me positive reinforcement with the whole multiple-stabbing thing, and that's help enough.

If you've got the float, I vote B, JZ.

ita, you'll note that I said fall ON to the toilet. Not IN. I had the right image.

Yeah, I went for B. I didn't really trust Hec's ability to produce Phil's number, or Phil's ability to email me back in a timely fashion, and ticket prices to Vegas for the weekend we need have been going up practically every day since I first started checking last month.

Anyhow, I saved Phil practically $100 in paper-ticket fees, and we have our tickets, and I didn't stab anyone at work, hardly. It's been a great day!
