No kidding! I used to work in an office with a total of 5 men, but there were 2 stalls. It seemed like half the time I was in there somebody would come in and use the other one. Come on, there was only 5 of us! Wait 5 minutes. Pissed me off big time.

I really don't understand this attitude. You're sitting there in your own cloud, and you'd make someone wait 5 minutes, in what might be considerable discomfort, rather than contribute a little to your cloud from the other side of a partition?
(I thought this thread might need a flame war to be really monumental.)

About the squat toilets, I've read that they're really much healthier (with respect to your bowels, not sanitation) because mankind evolved to poop by squatting and hasn't adapted to sitting on a throne yet. Therefore Western toilets can be blamed for Western society's digestive maladjustments. (Glad to know it isn't coffee).

I'm surprised no one has bragged up Ski Sundown's base lodge yet, with the restrooms just inside the main entrance.

that is key..alot of ski areas have their bathrooms down a flight of steps in the basement

Actually, i have a complaint about the bathrooms at Sundown. Some of the doors on the stalls do not lock due to some misalignment in the partition system. I have to prop my ski bag against the door while I am releasing the evil and changing into my ski gear.

Changing into ski gear in a ski area bathroom= Epic Fail...I always change into my ski gear at work/home..

Call me crazy, but I think there is some middle ground between the office and the crapper where you can change. :idea:

i have also changed in the car. but that is between work and yoga. :)

So just put your long underware on ahead of time, and you're good to go in the lodge for the rest!
When I saw this, I thought of this:

:lol: I was a little shocked at first but it's really very silly. ;) Then again, I used to get all embarrassed about stripping out of my ski pants down to my base layer pants and long-sleeved top in the lodge to change into sweats. :oops: But I don't have Grassi's phenomenal physique so what can I say? ;)

Worst thread hijack I ever saw. There we were talking about poop and now it's just about changing clothes! Let's get the discussion back in the gutter where it belongs.
