Getting your eyes dilated anytime soon?

I recently heard a story about an intriguing side effect of eye dilation.

Apparently, when getting their eyes dilated at the the optometrist or ophthalmologist, some people will pass out. This may be a common side effect. This may not be all that embarrassing.

But, the protagonist in this story passed out AND peed himself. Yes, he passed out in an optometrist chair and went to the bathroom in his pants (at least it was only little potty).

The story teller actually asked his optometrist about this phenomenon at his next visit (bold move). The optometrist confirmed that passing out and urinating happens infrequently, but does occur.

Moral of the story?

Empty your bladder before going to your next eye exam. If you do happen to pass out, the worst case scenario is a few drops of pee come out. Hopefully, it isn't all that noticeable....

The Urinal Paradox

Like many of you, I work in a nondescript office, in a nondescript job. I'm not complaining, I'm just saying that the big issues of the day might not be geopolitics or negotiating a 30 million dollar order of sprockets. Well, I've come to you my fellow readers to help resolve the big office issue of the day. Who am I kidding, I'll be lucky if I get one or two of my fellow VwW bloggers to respond.



I will start by saying there is an unwritten man code that defines how we use the restroom. Some of you may have played this game before. It is a good summary of the decisions we must make every time we enter the restroom. This leads to the problem I have. The restroom has a three urinal setup with the little urinal dividers which are great for that extra privacy. The first two urinals are ordinary, but the third one is kid sized.

That leaves the question:
Does it make me any less manly if I use the kid urinal if someone is occupying the preferred urinal #1 location?
Do the mini-walls make it okay for me to crowd #1 and use full size #2 because we already have a personal space divider?

Also, if by chance the building manager is reading this, please put scales in the bathroom. Betting on poop size really makes the day go by faster.
