Here is a urinal in my building.

Do you see that? I said, “DO YOU SEE IT??” Do you see those coffee cup rings on the top of the urinal? In fact, multiple coffee cup rings? (There are more on the other side, too!) This means that people are putting their (gag) coffee cups there while urinating—possibly knowing full well that “splashing” could easily occur. Sure, I occasionally put a beer on top of a urinal in a rock club—but only because there’s no other choice! What’s wrong with putting their coffee on the sink, or… oh, I don’t know… leaving it in their office? THIS IS GROSS. And obviously, “I CONDEMN THEE!!!” But what do you think?

Bang bang, choo-choo train, let me see you shake that thang. Wm. Steven Humphrey is the editor-in-chief of the Portland Mercury and has held the job since 2000. (So don’t get any funny ideas.)

  1. who cares if whoever puts there cup down there ends up drinking their own piss or pickup up germs on their cup from the urinal? sounds like a victimless crime to me.

  2. It’s fuckin gross. I spy nasty assers setting their bags on the ground in stalls. I suppose they put the same bag on their tables and beds when home. Pubes and all.
    Also, what’s Up with dudes entering the bathroom with food in their mouths? Chewing and shitting away as they putz around on their iPhones letting the poop air dry on their anuses.
    Ewwww.

  3. Joneser, stick an eggplant down your jeans, then reach down, unzip, fish out the stem end, wave it around, shake it a few times, put it back in and zip up, all with one hand. Not to prove a point, I just think it’d be entertaining.

  4. I’ll admit to doing this exact thing. Go ahead and judge, but the reasons are many, such as it’s far easier to return back to the office without stopping back in the break-room.
