Bathroom Art

I admit that I am one to always look for an establishment with a working restroom. I don't usually
pay so much attention to the art on the restroom doors, but lately I have noticed some restroom doors with pizazz. Trader Joe's on 72nd  Street near Columbus Circle has cool figures on their restroom doors. Its kind of how I feel when I really have to go, and how I am floating on cloud nine when I actually find a place of relief.  The second set of  doors I have posted are on the restroom doors of Carlos and Gabby's in Midwood. They are the least stereotypical restroom doors for a Jewish establishment. Carlos and Gabby's is a chain of Mexican Kosher restaurants in the New York area. Their food is even cooler than the paintings on their restroom doors.

pet peeves

one of my biggest pet peeves occurs  at sinks that are  located in  public restrooms. it bugs the heck out of me when someone washes their hands at a sink and then lifts their hands and shakes off the water before drying them. invariably i am the one who gets their post hand washing water on me after their big shake. i don't want to be included in their hand washing. if you have to do the wet hand shake keep your hands low in the sink when you do it so you don't splash anyone!
another pet peeve of mine happens (big surprise!) on the subway . the new subway cars are one long bench instead of having indentations  that separate the benches into separate seats. many people didn't like the old benches because some people were too fat for them . i say lose some weight! with these new benches there is always some joker trying to put her purse between you and them when you are sitting next to them. it wouldn't be so bad if there was a lot of room. but usually it means that there is less room and you get to squeeze against them and their bag . if they didn't put it there you would have a comfortable amount of space to sit and it wouldn't be big enough for  another person to squeeze between the two of  you.
