Commuting - Lock the bathroom door!

There are usually 1-2 people trying to get into the private bathroom on my floor every day while I'm changing cause they're too lazy to walk up 1 floor to use the bathrooms there.
Well today, as I'm just about finished changing, I realized that I didn't lock the door... That probably would've ended my career if one of my coworkers walked in on me standing there buck naked.

if they saw you from the back, they'd probably think you were a chick. so, i'd bet they wouldn't even think it was you. haha! you never should have posted that butt picture. :p

I think it's pretty clear that you're proud of your buttocks and probably didn't lock the door on purpose to give you an excuse for someone at work to admire them.

My grandmother used to say "If you've got it, flaunt it".

AzI think she was saying, "If you've got it, flog it."

"How many times do I have to tell you... This is my cubical!

This is better, when someone walks in say, "Hey, I just got a promotion!"

"Walking in" was all it took for my company many years ago to then install a separate shower/changing room.

It wasn't me that was walked in on... our senior scientist happened to be a regular runner... well, one day one of our biggest clients happened to "walk in... " I did mention "senior" scientist... right... and I do mean "senior."

Apparently the view was enough to generate comments...

I'm glad someone else out there makes the same mistakes I do. A few times now I've been pulling on/off my shorts and noticed the little button still sticking out. The worst feeling was standing at the sink in a pair of socks (just socks) and seeing the unlocked handle. I'm not sure what distracts me when I walk into the bathroom but I need to stop letting that happen. Peoples always try the doors even when they are shut. It's only a matter of time before someone gets to know more about me than they probably want to.

No pictures please!


I always lock the door. I guess I'm kinda shy. :rolleyes:

Man, I'd hate to work at a place where an accident like that could "end a career" - talk about uptight.

Our showers and changing areas are part of the main restrooms. There are guys walking in to use the toilets, brush their teeth in the sinks, etc, all the time when I'm changing. I would HOPE that there would only be a "problem" if the coworker was the opposite sex, and even then, it's an accident, how can they think you are culpable? Someone walks in, doesn't like what they see, they can walk out again.

Also in the new building we just moved to, you can see the changing bench from the hallway when the door is open.

If people don't want to see, they don't have to look. And it's not my problem that whoever laid out the restroom design was a moron. That bench could have just as well been installed 10 feet to the left, then no problem.

I'm lucky my office door locks, unless I go to the trouble of turning the lock switch to "unlocked". Opening it with a ke, doesn't change the "locked setting". In 5 years, the door's never been unlocked - it stays open during work hours. That privacy is the only upside to a windowless office.

So, I get to change at my desk, more or less. None of my staff is ever more than 3 minutes early, so I don't expect anyone to come in and unlock the door to get in.

Still, I stand close enough to the door to grab it if I hear a key in the lock,

I just change in my cube that's in front of the door and next to a window facing a hotel.

I put up a piece of paper directly in front of me on the wall inside that says "PLEASE LOCK THE DOOR, IF NOT FOR YOU, FOR EVERYONE ELSE."
People haven't taken it down yet, they think it's a public service announcement or something.

A while ago I had a coworker walk in on me. Now, the reason the door wasn't locked was because I was just washing my face - for that, closed is good enough.

I heard her comming, saw the handle turning, and when she walked in, I stared her right in the eyes and said: "In my house, we learned to knock before opening a closed door."

Never happened again.

God, I'm can be a dick!

Nice idea!

I'm usually the first one in to the office so it's not been a problem, but I'm not always the last to leave... so far I've been lucky the few times I've forgotten to lock the door right away.

My changing area is in the men's room which is multiple occupancy, so it doesn't lock. What's more, the bench is right next to the door, though I suppose I could change in the itty bitty stall (I've tried it and it's pretty awkward) or over by the shower which is also cramped and still visible. On top of that, our cleaning staff is largely female. Furthermore, they often enter the restroom without knocking.

I've been intruded upon on many occassions though I don't think ever more than just shirtless. I think there may have been a time that I was in my boxers. I guess I feel like it's not my problem, so whatever...

In my toilets, three stalls are locked when the knob is horizontal. One is locked when vertical. Freaks me out.

I must be an exebitionist or a perv or something because I couldn't care less. I've had co-workers of both genders walk in on me starkers and I just go about my routine and make polite conversation, funny thing is that once they get over the initial 3 seconds of shock they just get on with their business as usual too. I figure we're all adults, I'm sure I have nothing anatomically different to the rest of the male population so what's the big deal?

if they saw you from the back, they'd probably think you were a chick. so, i'd bet they wouldn't even think it was you. haha! you never should have posted that butt picture. :p

I have a frame pump to give you next time we ride together...

you never should have posted that butt picture.

Woah, slvoid posted a butt shot? And I missed it? I don't know whether to be disappointed or relieved... :D :eek: :cry: :lol:

Put it this way... many many women would kill to have an ass like mine.

I get changed in the conference room. :D

Yeah, the cold'll do that...

I've caught myself starting to undress in the bathroom, realizing that the door isn't locked. I'm pretty paranoid though and lock it if I'm in there for anything, so I haven't been walked in on.

This thread does remind me of this guy that used to work here when we had a smaller office. He was a guy in his late 50's, very nice. But he was *different* for sure. One time I went to walk into the bathroom. The door was wide open, and there's Robert with his drawers dropped down to his knees, taking a leak. Not something I wanted to see.....

I get to work early when no one is here and change in my cube. When I leave, I have to use the washroom which has no lock! I just change really fast. I've been lucky so far.

Your luck'll run out one of these days... why not put up a sign saying you're changing? Or is that asking for trouble?

okay, where do I find this alleged picture?

and why am I asking? :eek:

Nowhere! :p

I'm the same way. It's like a bad wreck. You know it's gonna be horrible and you're going to regret it forever, but you still want to go look.

Someday, I'm going to have a loooooong talk with slvoid...

Your lucky to have have a private washroom , I work on a loading dock and our lockers are right by the washroom entrance no door either and we have no heat there( fast changes in the winter months) and the whole world walks in :rolleyes: but at least we can bring our bikes in and lock them up inside so they are nice and safe.

Yeah but you don't go into the loading dock in full spandex kit, sweat pouring.

It's like smelling rotten milk. You know it's rotten cuz it's way past the date stamped on the carton. You know it's gonna smell, but you just gotta check. You can't help yourself. Smell the rotten milk...smell it...however, I don't wanna see the pic cuz that's just wrong, not like smelling rotten milk.
