I take it your boss was Gen X or older?

In the pre cell phone era, it was common for bathrooms to contain various magazines or books.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Uhhhhhh.......was that a regional thing? Because I'm old enough to remember bathrooms before cell phones.

I don't remember magazines/books being left in the bathroom. I only remember bringing them in.

Seinfeld did a whole episode on how gross it was to brings books into the bathroom.

You know that nobody under the age of 40 has ever ordered that.

Oh, definitely not. I'd say no one under 50 would even be a good bet, but I had to look and make sure this wasn't a Fruit of the Loom Cornucopia/Berenstein Bears type thing.

Wait why the fuck are they gaslighting us about that cornucopia
