The Rules of Office Bathroom Etiquette (Because They Need to Be Said)
The 411 on that part of the office no one talks about.

We all know that one co-worker who loves giving you the latest details on her love life from the next stall over. Or that one co-worker who just can’t stop himself from using the urinal right next to you when there are clearly other available ones.

To date, we’ve shared plenty of advice on interview etiquette, email etiquette, and even dining etiquette. But office bathroom etiquette? Not so much. Whether you like it or not, it’s time to finally address that part of the office no one talks about.

Here, we present to you the ultimate guide for being professional even on your field trips to the loo. And yes, we highly encourage you to passive-aggresively share the infographic with any co-workers who are in serious need of this information.
