there is something that i think about nearly every time i enter a restroom where others are already occupying stalls.

"if i line the toilet with the paper cover will the person in the stall next to me be grateful that i chose sanitation? OR will they think i'm wasteful because i just contributed to our tremendous environmental issue by killing a branch and flushing into our sewer system? furthermore, if i don't choose to use the paper lining and decide to squat, how will they know that i decided to hover carefully over the bowl in an attempt to save the trees AND maintain a respectable level of sanitation?"

welcome to my brain.

note: while this battle occurs in my mind multiple times a day, i usually choose option "c: squatting" unless i am tired or wearing unstable high heels. i think it's the most bi-partisan choice and we just can't be too careful these days.
