A couple of weeks ago, I had a visitor to the shop who had to use the M.R. before leaving (men's room), and my basement M.R. is of course unisex, but it is dirty enough from using it as a place to wash off metal grinding dirt and filth that my wife advises me that nobody should go in it, especially women.
I didn't think too much of it - one could be embarrassed about stuff like that or just ignore it, or clean the bathroom like one for a civilized area if it's that big of a deal. I do clean it fully from time to time, but the amount of dirt it sees makes it impractical to stay on top of continuously when nobody else uses it.
HOWEVER ...
...the next day, I was in the M.R. playing chess and I noticed that I had a big white box on the corner of the sink that I'd forgotten about. It's a box of syringes with needles, and literally says that "syringes with needles and caps" and nothing else.
I wonder what they thought!! There's almost nothing else in the bathroom except a garbage can. At first, I figure they might've thought "OH....I guess everyone has their vices", and then I realized that syringes probably aren't that unusual for some chronic medical conditions.
I never mentioned anything to the visitor after realizing that - i'm more curious to see if I ever hear anything about it.....
......the letdown real reason that they're there is the bathroom is between my infrequent use material storage (stuff that doesn't live in the shop) and the shop, and sometimes I pick things up and leave them either in the bathroom or a rack outside the door anticipating I'll get them "the rest of the way there".
....and what are they for?.....................repairing furniture and building guitars (occasionally, super dandy for repairs, though)..... For glue.
