...People ask a lot of questions over at Ask Metafilter. And some of those questions are about the bathroom: about why people talk in there, why they flush things, how to not die of bathroom poisoning, and so on.
Really, there are a whole dang lot of these questions. Cortex rounded a few of them up, with a general focus on the intersection between restrooms and etiquette and grouped roughly by topic...

My sombrero for your kayak
So, you finally realized that kayaks are work. You would much rather replace all that sweaty paddling with a cool, shady nap under a wide-brim hat dreaming of nachos.
You think about all the space in your garage that kayak's taking up and just start to count how many jars of salsa you could fit on that shelf.
You remember last Cinco de Mayo when you showed up to the big party sans sombrero. Someone threw a bell pepper at your head.
Don't you think it's about time you traded in that kayak for a nice comfortable sombrero?
Okay. How about I also throw in a pinata with 300 dollars worth of loose change?
Think about it...If you no longer need that 10-12 foot sit on top kayak, I have a sombrero that----and I'm not even lying-----would look stunning on you.
You think you look good in that poncho of yours, you just wait until the ladies get a load of you in that sombrero. Meow, indeed.
I will trade my sombrero for your kayak
(From The Original Joe Fisher)

Pajamas as Outdoor Wear in Shanghai. The prevalence of pajamas, according to photographer Justin Guariglia, was due to both the extreme summer heat and the lack of plumbing. The area where most of the pictures were taken was one where many people had to use outdoor communal toilets and thus the boundaries of what was considered home expanded past people’s houses to the public bathrooms. Once that relaxation of the dress code became acceptable (starting around the 1980s) the perimeter for PJ-wear just kept expanding until many people were wearing them day in day out…

What To Wear When You Tell The World You’ve Been Cheating
Going on national television to let the world know you’ve been cheating must be really difficult. Thankfully so many politicians have done it already there’s now a guide for what to wear if you happen to find yourself under the spotlight.
1. If you own an American flag pin wear it to prove you’re still patriotic, even if you aren’t so loyal.
2. Your wife should wear any sort of soft blue lady power suit. Studies show blue to be disarming, bad Hillary!
3. Nothing says I’ll stand by you more than a pearl necklace. (Only applies to Democrats)
4. A red, white and blue diagonally striped tie is purely optional but says a lot about your interests.
5. Don’t forget to wear something different but still classy, when you check yourself into rehab in 3… 2…
Also, Three things you can learn from Client 9. No 1: "Christin" won't be found online. Don't bother trolling the Internet Archive for her photo. The way high-end agencies work is the pics on the website aren't the actual girls. Potential clients go in person to a madam after they make a deposit towards the first appointment. They then get to look at a photo book and decide who to hire from there
No 2. There's no such thing as a "$5,500/hour escort."
No 3. Could it happen to YOU? No.
