'Bashful bladder syndrome' could cost employers billions

[snerd]

Not even surprised or outraged anymore. We are becoming a nation of idiots.

It could cost U.S. employers between $2 billion and $4 billion to comply with an obscure Americans with Disabilities Act regulation meant to protect workers who are gun-shy in public restrooms.

According to (http://www.eeoc.gov/eeoc/foia/letters/2011/ada_definition_disability.html) an informal discussion letter the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission issued in August 2011, “paruresis” — more commonly known as “shy bladder syndrome” — qualifies as a disability under the amended Americans with Disabilities Act.

I'm telling the boss that I need my own private bathroom ASAP. LOL!

Well... we'll all just have to wait and see what comes out won't we?

There are so-called unisex "family restrooms" which are just large enough for a parent to bring in a stroller and a kid or two and take care of whatever needs to be done in secure privacy.
I don't see them everywhere, but my church has a few, and they are also suitable for the disabled.
It seems that anyone with a doctor's note might be welcome to use one of these, shut the door, and be alone for awhile.

Hopefully, a selfish employee would not abuse such privacy.:faint:

Also, a third restroom might be handy when the cleaning or maintenance staff needs access to one or the other, and for confused transgendered crossdressing democrats who don't know where to go.:toilet:

I have a "small one" so I just go to the sit down toilet and close the door. There I just saved the country a few pennies.

It's kinda funny. I have a shy bladder. But if I have to go bad enough, it doesn't matter. Besides, thats what stalls are for.

[ChuteTheMall]

Run some water, sometimes that helps.

We're raising a bunch of whimps these days. When I was in school (o.k. it was a long time ago) every boy in school participated in P.E. and every one of those boys showered together. Bashful didn't fly in those days. Suck it up Frances.

[snerd]

...... Suck it up Frances.
Words never to be uttered in a bathroom full of naked boys.

None of my body parts have emotions.

Does the person who signed this proclamation have a name or are they another nameless and faceless bureaucrat that is immune from accountability to the people he/she supposedly serves?

I memorize the locations of those in the airports I frequent. So choice. :cool:

Never thought I would feel this way but I guess it is time for a revolution.
