Dear LFTP: restroom etiquette with the cleaning crew
- What is the proper etiquette when the cleaning service is cleaning the office restroom?
A listener who works in an office building asks about etiquette when the cleaning service is cleaning the restroom: she goes in anyway if the cleaner is a woman, but waits if it is a man. An in-studio participant (addressed as Andrew) recounts three years as a college custodian cleaning dorm bathrooms, barricading doors with a cart, and hating interruptions. The 'Secular' answer: there is no strict etiquette rule, but a sign is usually posted and a male janitor typically exits a women's restroom; a host adds an electrician-in-a-ladies-bathroom anecdote.
