Comfort should be part of a workplace’s promise to its employees.

The following story involves a female employee who simply wanted to take comfortable bathroom breaks.

However, she faced a problem when the only bathroom on her floor lacked privacy and made her uneasy.

So, she started using a quieter bathroom on another floor, but coworkers there confronted her about it.

Now, she’s left with bathroom drama she didn’t ask for.

Read the full story below for all the details.

They added a keypad lock to the bathroom. I’m about to quit lmao

I work in an old building. I am one of the only women on my floor.

There is an old bathroom on my floor, and the door stays open.

Right next to it are a bunch of offices. Everyone can hear you when you go to the bathroom.

I could always close the door.

This woman uses the bathroom on the floor below hers.

It is very likely I will be in the bathroom with my 60-year-old male boss a few times a week.

He is cool and I like him. But no, thanks.

On the floor below me, there is a more normal and more private bathroom.

It is equally old. I use it and leave.

But a coworker gets mad whenever she does.

Apparently, the old crabby women on that floor do not like that.

I do not leave a mess. I do not go number 2.

They explicitly told me that no one can use their bathroom.

The only other option is a public bathroom on the first floor.

It is dark and disgusting. No, thanks.

I do not care if I am overreacting. That is such an unhinged thing to do.

Lol. I’m not sure whether it’s funny or frustrating. Honestly, that’s such an awkward situation to deal with.

Do you really have to police a bathroom like that? Isn’t using the toilet a normal part of your work day?

No one should have to justify using the restroom at work.

This person has a question.

Lol. Here’s a petty revenge idea.
