toilet ethics 101

I just went back to the pc stations just to sign on and rant about one schmuck in the person of my officemate. Nasa CR kasi ako; i was doing my dump. Eh alangan namang pigilin ko pa siya, eh halos isang oras ang biyahe sa bus. Pabor din sakin kung late ako uuwi. Atleast, mapapanood ko ang Dragonball-Z tsaka Jewel in the Palace.

Tipid pa sa battery. I have this portable TV kasi, which i got for just PhP. 2,000. Eh kung manonood nalang ako somewhere, atleast di ko na kailangang gamitin pa yung battery. I'll just have it reserved for the evening shows.

So yun. Anyway, badtrip talaga. Ipagsigawan ba naman ang pangalan ko sa buong CR? Eh kasama pa niya yung isang REx (Resolutions Expert Tech). So pinagtatawanan nila ako kasi mabaho daw...

Eh malamang... tae kaya yun...

Inis na inis talaga ako sa loob ng cubicle. And he even had the guts to call my name over and over as if we're the closest friends in the world, chiding each one’s flaws. And how could that qualify as a valid flaw at any rate? To dump your shit is the most natural thing on earth to do. The ugly smell comes with it though, but hey, who in the world has had a nice smelling shit?

Officemate 1: “(name ko), ang baho naman… kadiri… (name ko), sumagot ka…
Officemate 2: Oo nga, teka baka naman hindi si (name ko) yan?
Officemate 1: Si (name ko) yan… (tawag niya name ko…), sumagot ka naman…

At ang kupal, tuluy-tuloy ang pagtawag sa pangalan ko…

Wala siyang ethics. He should have thought that the very structure of toilet cubicles is designed to assure its users comfort and seclusion. The cubicle dividers were built considerably high and long for a tall person to peep in. Even if a person bows too low, he’d have his back broken first before he could even catch a glimpse of the shoes the person inside the cubicle is wearing.

To breach that wall of security is to invade the user’s privacy. That’s humiliating for any person, you see. And that’s what he did.

So no matter how much he called my name, I just kept mum. I acted as if I never heard anything. A good dosage of indifference is said to be deadly for suckers.

And so I finished my rituals (man, it took me 30 minutes to do that huh?). I remember consuming over 14 sheets of napkins for that. Every swipe was never satiating. I always felt there’s still dirt left on my ass. And so I wished I was back home, where I almost use up almost a foot-tall pail of water.

And like the dirty feeling on my ass, my infuriation with that schmuck was never wiped out as well.
