bathrooms should be soundproof in offices.

Because books.
Now I want to make a list of all the Buffistas I have actually hugged.
I survived my first day of work, and actually wrote a piece on Queen Beatrix abdicating, thanks to Connie Neil! I also had fun, which is a huge bonus.

Juliebirs, I'm sure it's gross, but if he needs to go, what is he supposed to do? Is there another bathroom just as near that he could get to urgently and use without people hearing? It sounds like he has a medical problem.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Too-close bathrooms are a scourge, even if they are soundproof.

It's less than a minute to two other bathrooms on the floor below.
I know that probably doesn't mean much if it's medical, but his other offence is that he doesn't use the One Drop we've all talked quite enthusiastically about at staff meetings (I ordered some for my stinky brothers from a coworker who was visiting Hawaii --in the presence of said offender).
But, if it's medical, and thirty seconds doesn't mean a thing, he should have shit his pants by now.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I would also wonder if he might have a medical issue. I doubt he's clueless.

Maybe he feels some kind of ownership of that bathroom (simply because it's closest to his office) and, given what he's there to do, he might feel embarrassed to go to another one? Not saying it's logical, but I can see thinking that way. Bathroom habits can be hard to parse.

Our wings are not tired
Sorry if this is TMI, but since my gall bladder surgery and bout of pancreatitis I go through periods where my intestines give me very little warning, and then I have to get to a bathroom immediately. Believe me I'm aware, but there is very little I can do about it other than not ever leaving the house.

Yeah, I think if its an emergency situation you're not really going to take that chance.
What you might be expected to think about is staying home a day or two.
