Toilet Guilt...

The world would be a better place if we all suffered from toilet guilt. Or maybe if we all suffered from toilet guilt, no one would have to suffer from toilet guilt.

What is toilet guilt you ask? Toilet guilt is the term I have given to the practice of cleaning up a toilet that you found messed up simply because you don’t want the next person in line to experience what you will have experienced or to think that it was YOU who messed up the toilet. Because no one will believe that it wasn’t you when it is you they saw walking out of there...

If everybody suffered from toilet guilt, you would never have to walk into a filthy toilet ever in your life. Wouldn’t that be good news for us all?

The loosest definition of integrity that I have ever heard is ‘doing the right thing when no one is watching’. Seldom do we have people watching what we do in the toilet, so I would say the best place to judge a person’s level of integrity is in the toilet. Check yourself!!!

Once upon a time, I lived in a Christian girl’s hostel for 6 months, and on Saturdays and Sundays the cleaners would be away from work. It was during these two days that the toilets and bathrooms would be in the absolute worst state. The funny thing is I promise you not even the best witch doctor (or tsikamutanda) in all the lands would have been able to identify which Slay Queen Sally, Bible yielding Jane or bookworm Belinda was messing up the toilet. Because we all looked very neat and presentable when we walked out of those hostel doors.

If we all suffered from toilet guilt, we would not have to suffer from toilet guilt.

Yes, you guessed right, I had to clean up a mess that was not mine today L
