Ah, so you're the guy on his phone in the toilet, occupying a stall for way longer than necessary, while others have to wait. Thanks, buddy.
- Kluny 9y agoHey, if someone is hiding in the toilet with their phone, there's a real good chance that they need the isolation more than they need the toilet.
- btgeekboy 9y agoNot necessarily. Some guys can’t unglue their faces from their phones long enough to use a urinal either.
- loblollyboy 9y agothe subject matter caused me to read that completely wrong
- smelendez 9y agoI've seen this too. I think it's probably an ADA violation, because it must cause completely unnecessary problems for people with mobility issues (not everyone can easily wave their arms around over their head while using the restroom). Edit: I actually know nothing about the legal nuances of the ADA, but it certainly seems to violate the generally understood spirit of the law.
- sleepybrett 9y agoWe have this in our normal office, but it isn't motion detection it's sound and it's only in "power saving" mode after normal office hours. So if you are working late and going to be in the bathroom for more than 5 minutes you have to remember to clear your throat every few minutes.
- pavel_lishin 9y agoYour employer's inability to provide sufficient toilet stalls isn't my problem. (My problem might be bowel related, and I bet you don't want to hear any of the details.)
- alphadevx 9y agoLOL! No phone involved, I meant to imply that the timer on the lights is set too aggressively.
