Last week I had a temp gig that a friend got me. It was in a small, three-person office, all women. Hopefully, I'll get into what the company did, but this little blog post has nothing to do with that. Instead, what it's about is being the only guy in an office with unisex bathrooms.

See, us guys stand when we pee and occasionally, we miss. It happens, what can I say. This means that sometimes there'll be, for lack of a better word, a puddle near the toilet. Or, at least a few squirts.

Now, usually in a guy's restroom, it is assumed that every guy is occasionally missing so that the little puddles here or there is no big deal. Well, it is if you stand in it or pull your pants into it, but it's still generally assumed that since it happens, and since everyone does it, nobody talks about it. It's one of the great "unsaids" that occurs in the men's room. The problem with being the only guy in an office with three other women and unisex bathrooms, of course, is that if there is a "puddle," there isn't really anyone else to blame it on.

This was a problem.
