Your pal,

Ha. I doubt its anyone who posts here. This guy is so clueless I doubt he knows what the internet is. He is a secretary has to open his email type of guy. Then again what would you expect from someone who drops trou at a urinal.

If I were truly concerned about "urine splashback" I wouldn't have my pants around my ankles in a mens' room--the floor can't be that hygenic either...he just wants people to check out his ass.

Okay, former infrequent infirm poster semi lurker first time poster here with a weird workplace situation.

Recently lateraled to a new firm and for the second time in a month I walked into the men’s room to find a relatively senior partner at one of the urinals with his trousers and boxers pulled all the way down, taking a pisser. Now for the uninitiated here, like those of you blessed with vaginas or the few dandy-boys who pee seated, guys don’t pull their trousers down to pee. We unzip them, pull it out the fly hole and whiz, with the notable exceptions being young boys just learning the ropes and kids who take the short bus, both of which groups have special dispensation to drop trou to pee.

With that in mind, I have now had the displeasure to catch more than a glimpse of this guy’s pimpled and pockmarked ghost-white hairy ass cheeks staring at me from the urinal stand. Did I mention he weighs about 350 pounds? What in the freaking hell is the deal with this? I do not get paid special wages for a psychologically hazardous job and should not have to be subjected to this. Certainly this cannot be acceptable professional behavior can it?

I mentioned this to one of the other associates who does not seem like a backstabber and he too has seen the dark side of the moon and the word in the firm is that this guy has a medically diagnosed phobia of urine and fears any backsplash on his clothing. While I think this is psychobabble b.s., that’s fine if he believes it but then take your fat ass into a stall and spare the rest of us.

So long story short, I don’t know what to do or what I can do but I can’t bear the thought of being exposed to this guy’s ass on any periodic basis and while I would love to walk in on him and ask what the fuck he is thinking and perhaps even plant the sole side of my Kenneth Coles in his butt, I really don’t have a career death wish. Yet.

So I am thinking of either going to a website that sends anon emails to people with hygiene problems, although I doubt seriously if there is a standard “dude, stop showing me your bare ass when you pee” email; or sending the HR administrator an anon email pointing out the problem and maybe noting that this is a hostile workplace type of scenario, i.e. harassment.

Knowing that the crowd here is fairly racy and rude I wonder if anyone can think up a better idea of how to deal with this without impairing my career trajectory.

Help, please.

I would call the FBI.

<--Vagina blessed(?).

Use the restroom on a different floor.

ETA: This amusing anctecdote further strengthens my inclination to answer "women's" on the "women's or men's room?" sex poll. Though the question recently came up IRL, and I went with the "neither, meet you in my car in ten minutes" response.

I'm a J.D. not an M.D. but isn't urine sterile? What's there to be scared of?

This is why I don't go potty in public. No offence.

You can't miss him, right? Don't enter. Or give him a big wack on the ass and then hightail it. He won't catch you.

And that phobia is bogus. I sure as hell am not dropping my pants around a urinal. Backsplash? Hell, check out the downsplash.

Who thought it would be a good idea to put Nicole in bed with a 10 yo boy?

If the reports are to be believed, it should be pretty safe. Certainly safer than had they cast her former husband in that role.

Urine is actually quite good for you. India's former PM Gandhi taught me (from TV- I'm not the celeb magnet you are P. HAHA nttawwt!) to drink my urine. Its a form of bio feedback that keeps your whole body running balanced. So anyway, if you see me going in the restroom at work-as AG says its 2sies. plus my billingare up 5 hrs/month tinwwt.

Uhm, I don't think the board should take this post seriously.

Quite clearly Hank is pulling our leg here, right Encyclopedia? Sally?

And Hank, no offence, but if you must relay this type of stuff, or worse the other "topic", let's keep it to the board and off of my PM box, okay?

On the freeway of course, and only in LA.

Is the guy lifting up his shirt when he does this also? If not, and if his shirttail doesn't cover his ass, perhaps a new tailor could be recommended.

You know, when I went to the jkrowling.com website and figured out the clues to get into the secret room where you can see the name of the new book -- after you click on the fan (I told you I was obsessed, non?), I was so TORN!

I mean, obviously it needs a hyphen, but JKR is the bee's knees as far as I'm concerned, and can do no wrong.

I am officially on the horns of a dilemma.

No you're not; some dictionaries list "half blood" as an open compound.

I do have a career death wish (uh, this career, at least its current manifestation, blows) and I think you should tell him he has a nice ass, just for the hell of it. What's he going to do? He just might respect you for it.

Anyhoo, this reminds me of the time I saw an ex-boyfriend's dad's naked ass one time while at a vacation house in Florida. We were all out on the lanai (the bf, me, his two brothers and their wives, and his mom), which had a view right through the bedroom door, and dad gets out of the shower and ambles aimlessly around the bedroom naked, as if there were nobody there. Thankfully, the brothers got the full frontal view and I was spared, but it did cause them to laugh in mortification, which piqued my curiousity, and I turned just in time to see his ass and a glimpse of his scrotum. {{Shudder.}} What a vision of the future that was. It sent me high-tailing it out of that relationship, I have to say, not so much because boyfriend's ass would someday look that way, but because I suspected boyfriend would become the kind of man who would walk around naked when his son's girlfriend was around. Oh, who am I kidding, I'm shallow, it was the ass and the scrotum. When you're 20-something, you don't want to admit the existence of 60-something, let alone see it nekkid.

I don't know how this story is applicable to your situation, but I'm drunk, and all I really wanted to do here was commend you on a nice entrance. Somehow I got sidetracked. But good luck at the new firm!
