Hairy toilet seats

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

Quite often — more often than not, actually — when I use the restroom at work, I find myself rather put off by the amount of loose hair littering the top of the toilet seat. It leaves me wondering many unpleasant things about the previous person who sat there.

Here’s the thing: Hair doesn’t just fall out all day long. I don’t wake up to a hair covered pillow every morning. And even if you’re balding, the subject I’m discussing isn’t really the hair on your head, now, is it?

So for the quantity of loose (ahem) body hair I’m seeing to have been left behind from a single sitting, I have to wonder what the previous person (or people) are doing while they sit there to make their body hair fall out? Shouldn’t any loose hairs have already come off while they were presumably showering that morning?

And worse… this isn’t a train station, it’s a professional office. Do you have to leave that mess there? Couldn’t you, uh, clean up after yourself before you leave the stall?
