Business is serious business.

Especially when you’re trying to do your business AT your business, but someone left unfinished business.

But of course, there is a time and place for every conversation.

You’ll see what I mean in this conundrum. Check it out.

AITAH for mentioning the men’s restroom situation during a meeting?

At work, we have end of week meetings every Friday.

Today, after the meeting, I brought up something I have noticed in the men’s restroom.

I have gone in a few times and noticed it was not flushed, so I figured I would mention it.

Seems they didn’t quite have a handle on it.

After the meeting, a couple of people told me I should have handled it differently.

One person said I should not have brought it up in front of the women since it only concerns the men’s restroom.

Another said I should have just told the project manager privately.

Now they’re feeling embarrassed.

Downright flushed.

I honestly thought it was a simple hygiene issue that needed to be addressed, but now I am wondering.

Was I wrong for speaking up? AITAH?

This isn’t top priority, but it may be number two.

Man, talk about your coworkers giving you crap.

This one is pretty funny, honestly.
