Women's Health compiled this much-needed list of ten rules for office bathroom etiquette. Read it, print it, tack it up in your own office bathroom stall. Here's a sampling:

Do not push -- peek

When you're about to enter a communal stall, do not push -- peek. Sometimes door locks break. Bend over. Look for feet. Stretch those hams. Move on.

You'd rather not talk about it

Resist flowery and fragrant aerosols. They can turn the air thick, heavy, and fake -- and it's like a silent scream declaring to the entire floor that you just did something you'd rather not talk about.

Click here to read the other eight rules.

And while we're on the topic, find out what your #2 says about you.

Do you have any office bathroom rules of your own? Please share below.

Here's a rule: Beauty Queens-- sometimes a person needs a bit of privacy. An office bathroom is not the place to do elaborate hairdos and complete make-overs. Do your business and get out- let the next person have their turn. Thank you!

And another thing: If you are stinking up the place, how about a courtesy flush to clear the air whether or not you are finished with the paperwork? PLEASE?

The large women's bathroom down the hallway isn't a problem. It's the one in our suite that is, especially when the single men don't understand that it's important to 'clean up' after themselves.

And, yes, I finally convinced our office manager to put a fan in the bathroom because of the mixed scent of perfume and ... well ... you might be eating ...

Hmmmm..... didn't see a thing about washing your freaking hands.

Number 1 rule for men: wash your hands: turn on the water, use the soap, scrub, rinse, grab paper towel, dry, and use that to turn the dirty faucet handle(s) off.

If you don't wash your hands, and then later scratch your face, put your face in your hands, prop your head up, how is that any different than going to the bathroom for the sole purpose of rubbing penises all over your face?

Isn't that the reason Republicans go to the bathroom?

I dunno sometimes I think coworkers and others who use the work restroom were not taught proper ettiquette or were raised in a 3rd world country, I sometimes shudder at the thought of what their toilet at their home must be like.
