Mystery Seat Cover


It happens multiple times a day without much thought. I walk into the restroom, pull off a seat cover (kindly provided to me by the management), lay it on the toilet, sit on it, pee, wipe, wash and walk back to my desk.

Yesterday I walked into the restroom, pushed open the stall door, and went to grab the seat cover when I noticed there was already one on the toilet. We have all had times when the toilet has flushed and the cover is still on the seat, but this was not the case. The middle section was still intact.

I froze as thoughts swarmed my head. Did someone get distracted by the email they were typing on their blackberry and forget they came into the bathroom to use the toilet? Did someone lay the cover down and think, "you know what, I don't really have to go." Or was it like in the grocery store when you put the divider at the end of your items so the next person does not have to? Really, would someone put the cover on for the next person?

What ever the reason, it freaked me out and I slowly backed up and went into the next stall. I am still very baffled over this.

LOL...wait, wait, wait...LOL. Did you just drop "peas" in the toilet, you know, like the vegetable? Or did you “pee” into the toilet, you know, like a streaming flow of urine?

Same old Lindsay! Remember the time you spelled the word “roll” but you meant to spell it as “role”? Classic!

Oh Matthew....you know I will never get all of this right and now that I don't have a personal editor...well I guess I will just continue to provide you with free entertainment. Your welcome!

That is hilarious! Maybe Starbucks should add that to their cheesy "nice things to do" that they put on their cups every Christmas.

Lindsy- I'm glad to see you have a weakness and it's honomyns. Otherwise I was starting to think you were perfect.

Also, I read your blog whenever I need a laugh and it never fails to meet or exceed my expectations! You are awesome!
