No Restroom for the Weary

There's only one men's room in my building, and it's quite the place. It's in the basement, so there's a certain dampness that is wholly unpleasant, not least for the way it attracts the silverfish. Nothing like watching a creepy-crawly climb the outside of the urinal next door. There's some sort of automated aerosol scent dispenser on the wall above the door, but it's always on the fritz, and so emits a freaky beep-beep every few seconds, day in and day out. Today, a new feature appeared: a creak in one of the door hinges that sounds exactly like whistle you whistle to get someone's attention. Both times I went into the restroom today, I glanced back when I heard this sound; neither time was anyone trying to get my attention.

It's almost enough to make a guy wish for some NASA diapers.
