so…the layout of our office building has the men and ladies rooms on an air shaft that is shared with a restaurant 12 stories below. On a warm day like today, with the air vents pumping hot oil fryer smell up the shaft, the restroom has the olfactory quality of a week-old litter box.
and…can I ask why the name “restroom?” I understand that people have an aversions to talk of bodily functions, but “rest”-room? When I’m tired, the last place I’m thinking of spending some downtime is in that room! “Don’t mind me, just going to take a catnap on the shitter. How about a courtesy flush?”

I don’t know I find it pretty restful, it’s one of the few places in the building where I can be alone. Do a little light reading, and by the time I emerge I always feel much better.

I think we should rename them all “Washrooms.” Maybe then people would actually wash after using the toilet/urinal.

I went to a place that once called the restrooms “convenience rooms”.
Which I was fine with, except I was at a Burger King.
I even took a picture of it, but I can’t get to it at the moment.

No, wait, I was wrong. It was called the “Necessary Room”. At a Burger King.
