I adjust my dress and wash my hands.Then, I turn around to confirm what I thought I saw out of the corner of my eye. And it is this:
One of my colleagues carrying his lunch - on a tray - into the Gents' toilets.
It is a genuine "Wait... WHAT?" moment.
"Wait... WHAT?"
He looks at me apologetically, for there is no greater faux pas than taking a steaming bowl of soup and a vegetarian stir fry into the can with you.
"There had," I said, the disgust welling up inside me, "be a pretty good explanation for this."
And there was.
He had - it turned out - already read the newspaper during his tea break.
"You may proceed. Wash your hands."

Why do you have a carton of panda milk on your tray?
And did the vegetarian stir fry come with chopsticks? If it did, I expect he just took them to the can to work something out.
We used to have a selection of papers where I used to work. One of the girls used to flatly refuse to even touch The Sun after mid-morning. When asked why she told us that every morning at the same time Ian H went to the bog and always took The Sun with him.
Ick.
I do hope your heels and purse match.

Maybe he was punting the food straight down the bog, cutting out the middle man.
Wait.....what......?
You can buy milk made from Pandas?
I think the word better is missing from this page.
Also - you wear a dress? And you went in the gents? I hope you sat down.
