The Peekers and The Squatters
>> Friday, July 10, 2009
In my travels through public restrooms, I have discovered a particular –for lack of better words, group of people that pass through the public restrooms I frequent. In this instance, my employers.
Those groups being the peekers and the squatters. First let us address the peekers.
These are the people that no matter what their business in the restroom, they are eager to determine who hides behind the locked stall doors around them. They try to be ever so sly as they look past their own reflection in the mirror or glance under the stall door.
Followed by the Squatters.
These are the people that are uncomfortable sharing a bathroom with others –not that I blame them, it can be awkward to share a bathroom and a board meeting with someone. So they will sit in their stall. Holding off their business until the room has cleared, fidgeting uncomfortably.
I hold no malice or judgement against either group of people. I personally prefer however, to not have my identity known –all you peekers. And to the squatters- How long do you think we can last? You trying to out-squat me, as I try to out-last you.
Are you a peeker? Are you a Squatter? What’s your style?

peekers raelly freak me out and squatters... yea im totally one of em'!! happy friday!!
You make me laugh!
I can #1 just fine anywhere but as for #2--only at my house or my mom's house. NO WHERE else. It's like my bottom clamps up or something--I know--I'm weird. So I guess that makes me a Squatter.
Huh. I just do my business.
If you go to the bathroom tomorrow at the restaurant, I will be a peeker just for you. And I will comment on how cute your shoes are!
Found you by Jillybean. There's a website called textsfromlastnight.com where some guy accidentally went into the ladies room at Red Robin. And then he comments on how girls are liars when we say we don't pass gass... it's something like a goose taking it's dying breath, according to him.
Cannot we fart in peace?
Oh, that's hilarious. I'm really neither. I just do my business and get outta there. But, oh my word, I'm totally going to start trying to spot peekers and squatters from now on.
When I'm in the public restroom, I'm only there for one reason: to get the job done! I don't have the time or desire to linger, squat or peek.
Peekers freak me out! I'm a squatter...no question...
(you are hilarious!)
I'm not a peeker! I would say I'm a squatter. However, I'll pee freely in public but I will never poop there. Poop can wait until I get home.
I dont think Im either but my kids are peekers.
I'm a squatter. I've done that quite a few times. The only time I'm comfortable is when the bathroom has many people in it. If there's only one or two, I wait.
peekers are creepy! Why would you want to look at someone on the toilet?!
I'm a squatter only if I know it's going to be BAD and there is only 1 other person in the bathroom. If it's crowded and loud, I let it all go!
LOL Too too funny. I guess I fit into the squatter! I'm the girl squatting and flushing at the same time...guess so you can't hear me? Don't know who I think I'm fooling..but it helps!
Peekers are creepy. What's with the need to know who's doing what next door? Don't get it.
I would like to say that I fall definitively into one category or another, but alas, I cannot. In reality, I go to extreme measures to avoid using the public restroom altogether.

I am a foot checker, looking for the empty stall.
I telecommute, not dealing w/this nonsense is Priceless.
Not a squatter, when I gotta go, well watch out!
LOL! I'm a "squatter" when it's #2; but when it comes to #1, it doesn't matter! Luckily for me, our stalls are completely "sealed". No one can see inbetween the cracks, under the stall door. Unless you crawl over the top of the stall, no one is ever known! Whew!
