    Never, ever, ever take a "wide stance." And, good heavens, don't be tapping anyone's shoes.
  • Carole Turner · 1 year ago
    Say, "Hey, who is that? Are you pooping?"
  • John Blanchard · 1 year ago
    Pretty sure the right thing to do is just slide it over and don't say a thing. If you see the person at the sink, act like nothing happened.

    We don't talk in the Men's room.
  • Jeremy · 1 year ago
    Dude - you pick it up and run, 'cause, hey, free walkie talkie.
  • Zach · 1 year ago
    I think for future reference you should check out the blog post on the rules of the restroom...

    pee on it.
  • Tyler Braun · 1 year ago
    Be as quiet as possible. Finish before them without a flush...and leave.
  • Los · 1 year ago
    Jeremy. The only problem is that I think that would come out of my budget.

    Are you sure it was a man in there? Maybe you made "that mistake" again??
  • JTCrespo · 1 year ago
    My theory: You were once again in the women's room and she didn't want to embarrass you by answering your offer to slide it back in a female voice.

    If I was ever in the restroom and a walkie-talkie fell into my stall, I would probably chat with anyone who would listen to me on it while the owner of the walkie-talkie is trying to get through the locked door to take it away from me. That would teach em...

  • Akash · 1 year ago
    I'm pretty sure protocol says no taking pictures in the bathroom.
  • petec999 · 1 year ago
    Just walk away...just walk away!
  • Jess · 1 year ago
    The scariest thing is, he didn't wash his hands before he picked the walkie back up. . .

    Eww, and I used a staff persons walkie yesterday at BC when they left it alone and someone was calling them. . .

    YUCK!
  • Mr. Police Man · 1 year ago
    I'm not sure if i need to worry about the walkie-talkie or that you have a camera in the bathroom!
  • evan · 1 year ago
    #1 why does someone have a walkie talkie in a bathroom stall.
    #2 why are u talking pics in the bathroom stall.
    #3 did this happen at buckhead?
  • Brooke · 1 year ago
    First...BAHAHAHAHA!! Probably wasn't funny at the time, but it sure is funny now! And second what everyone else has said about the fact that you are taking pictures in the bathroom....
  • JTCrespo · 1 year ago
    Speaking from experience, A BC staff person's walkie talkie has probably been in much worse places than that. We get into some crazy stuff around here. But as long as you aren't licking the device, you should be fine.

    Life happens in the bathroom too, so why not take (appropriate) pictures?
  • David M. Coe · 1 year ago
    Umm... take a lesson from Senator Craig and DO NOTHING with your hands or feet!!

    :o)
  • johnincolorado · 1 year ago
    press the talk button and let the tuba play.
  • Mike · 1 year ago
    In MN you can be arrested for passing things back and forth under a stall :-)

    "The senator then tapped his right foot, "a signal used by persons wishing to engage in lewd conduct," Karsnia wrote, and Craig ran his left hand several times underneath the partition dividing the stalls." <a href="http://edition.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/08/28/craig.arrest/

    Evan:
    #1 why does someone have a walkie talkie in a bathroom stall.
    it's a good contingency plan in case there's no TP and you're the only one in there.
    #2 why are u talking pics in the bathroom stall.
    he was prolly playing games on his iphone while he was...you know..dropping the kids off.
    #3 did this happen at buckhead?
    it'd be great if it happened at NP, 'cause dude what if that was ANDY STANLEY'S WALKIE TALKIE? bahahaha. betcha it radios God...
  • erin · 1 year ago
    answer to the questions:

    1. they had the walkie in the stall bc all of our parking volunteers wear them

    2. dont you know carlos takes pics of EVERYTHING!!

    3. yes it was at bc

    :)

    leave the parking peeps alone, even volunteers have to ..you know "drop the kids off"

    :)
  • emily · 1 year ago
    I quite like the pic of the bathroom floor...it shows the nice slate/some sort of stone tile that is in there...Also... I'm just glad the walkie hit the floor and not the toilet water...
  • Amy · 1 year ago
    hahahahaha!! OMG I don't know what was funnier reading the comments or the blog? I wonder if the person heard the little camera sound your picture phone makes and wondered if you were taking pictures of them through some weird peephole lol!! I would've just slid it over to them with my foot to avoid touching it and not say anything. Or maybe the guy didn't speak very much english? ha no one said that!
  • Dale Best · 1 year ago
    First off, you shouldn't be deucing in a public restroom to begin with...deuce in the morning before you leave the house. I mean, you have to schedule that junks out. Get yourself into a routine.

    Second, you shouldn't have said anything...AWKWARD!!

    You're lucky Senator Craig wasn't in the other stall...
  • Sizz · 1 year ago
    I am praying that whoever owns the walkie-talkie is reading this blog~
  • matt g · 1 year ago
    Get on Walkie and ask "Who does #2 work for?"
  • aaron · 1 year ago
    hope you washed your phone camera after this picture!
  • Rodge · 1 year ago
    maybe the guy meant for you to take that one, he already had the other walkie talkie, and then you could totally coach each other through a difficult movement. encourage each other. nice.
  • Denise · 1 year ago
    BWAHAHAHAHA I LOVE THAT YOU TOOK A PIC!! THAT'S SO YOU.
  • DJ Wilson · 1 year ago
    Never...ever...speak in the men's restroom while "business" or what could be interpreted as "business" is transpiring. Never.

    Slide and look away. Just slide and look away. Whistling afterwards may be an acceptable signal to the other party that it is safe to retrieve lost item.
  • John Ireland · 1 year ago
    you did well, los...i could easily picture that happening at qcc with one of our tech/production folks. we are very informal (bit of an understatement), so i likely would have had a bit less decorum...:)
  • Jesse · 1 year ago
    Why is it that some people are uncomftorable speaking while doing your business in the can?
  • Dionicio Leal · 1 year ago
    Now I see where he get's all of his blogging done. That is the camera on the notebook isn't it?

    Los, Is that the actual Walkie Talkie in the pic or is that a re-inactment? just curious

    Propper Etiquite = It's like talking with your mouth full of food, you don't talk in a MID WIPE. That's why he didn't answer, and that explains the flush 30 sec. after your(los) question.
  • Bill · 1 year ago
    If they refuse to say "hi", pick up the walkie talkie, press the "talk" button, and burp into it really loudly.
  • Brad Ruggles · 1 year ago
    Dude, I don't know what's funnier...

    the story...

    or the fact that you took a picture of the walkie talkie to document it!

    In my opinion, I would have kicked it over if my foot could reach. If not, just leave it be. :-)

    Great story.

    re-inactment or do you carry your camera. everywhere?
  • Los · 1 year ago
    iPhone. Everywhere.
  • Michele · 1 year ago
    "who does #2 work for?" real nice. :O)

    this has the potential to be the funniest post/comments ever. at least in my world.

    i'm still laughing...
  • Corbett · 1 year ago
    In the top right corner of pic#2 there is a shadow that's not in pic#1. I want to know what's making that shadow!
  • Los · 1 year ago
    Corbett. That is a shadow of the walkie being taken from my stall
  • Denise · 1 year ago
    Yeah you can see the antenna in the shadow. Los, too bad you didn't snap that pic just a second earlier 'cause then you'd have someone's hand for everybody here to play guess who with!
  • Bryan · 1 year ago
    I would say do nothing. I did a post a few months back on "Bathroom Rules for Men". I didn't cover this scenario--maybe I need to revise it to include items falling into your stall.

    You did, however, violate the no talking rule. You'll be forgiven this time. :)
