Just common courtesy...



Okay, so the first two days on the new job is like any two days. You are the new guy. You are trying to fit in. All is good. I can't say it is great and I can't say it sucks. It is just alright for now. I can comment about the crapper. There is like 100 LowerMyBills employee's. Say half are women, so that leaves 50 guys for 3 toilets and a urinal. That makes for a pretty busy bathroom. I like to do my business and not feel rushed or hurried.

Well today I came home and explained that to Aya. I then proceeded to fart a smelly and told Aya I gotta go take a crap. So here I am at home. 2 people and 1 toilet. What happens?! Do I get privacy? No!! Aya bangs on the door and says I have a phone call. WHAT?!

1. I just told her that I can't take an enjoyable crap at work because it is busy;
2. I just told her I am taking a crap;
3. I have told her do not bother me in the bathroom.

So now I am interrupted and just mad. Of course I yell at her for not giving me some peace and quiet while on the throne. Naturally Aya tries to cry and justify bothering me. She wanted to know if I was in the crapper. Lets review again:

1. I told her I was in the crapper;
2. The bathroom door was closed;
3. The bathroom radio was on signalling I was either taking a crap or showering;
4. The bathroom fan was on.

It is not like we have a shortage of bathrooms either. We have 3 bathrooms and 2 people. Yet whenever I am in the bathroom Aya likes to stroll on in and start a full on conversation or wait until I am done showering. Like she can't leave me alone for 5 minutes. When we remodel the master bathroom I am going to make it MY bathroom just for me. Not for the kid. Not for Aya. Just me. The king and his throne! Peace at last!!

Miles,

If you think you don't have privacy now, just wait until you have kids.

No kidding... When Miles Jr. is about 2 years old, He'll be yelling "I want to see! I want to see!" while you sit on your throne.

yes, i don't mind being bothered by a child who is just curious and doesn't understand privacy.

your wife not understanding privacy is a whole different matter.

plus, if my little bean wants to see loads of dookie i don't mind sharing! =)

Miles,

Never mind about the loads of dookie. Imagine your kid trying to touch you package while your taking a leak, trying to put their hand in the stream, climbing across your legs while you and your wife are enjoying a little nookie, how about a little vomit on your pillow while your sleeping, not public enough, how about an alien vomit attack in front of hundreds of people at a ski resort, I could go on forever but I'll let you experience all the joys of parenthood first hand when Aya jr. is born.
