I see something strange.
I am at the office today and I go into the women’s bathroom and the first thing I notice is that there is a URINAL CAKE hanging from the ceiling. This is very confusing because 1. What is a urinal cake doing in the bathroom? 2. What is a urinal cake doing on the bathroom ceiling? 3. Urinal cakes smell bad, I rather smell urine…or do I? Hard to say. 4. There is a urinal cake! On the ceiling! What?
Anyway it is taped on to the ceiling with electrical tape. Not with duct tape. Not packing tape. Not Scotch tape, or as I like to call it, MacTape. But with electrical tape. You know just in case you want to TOUCH the urinal cake and you fear getting electrocuted. Safety first, that is what I always say. So if any of you want to visit me and touch the urinal cake, you will be very safe. You will be safe from the dreaded foe called electricity and also safe from the smell of urine. What you will not be safe from is the smell of a urinal cake trying to cover up the smell of urine. Also I should add that no one can pee on this urinal cake on the ceiling. I know this because I tried and was unsuccessful. So now I am sitting here, covered in my own pee. Most unhappy circumstances. Anyway the important lesson I want all of you to take away from this sad story, is that a urinal cake is not an air freshener.
What on Earth is a urinal cake? I’m afraid to google it. It is not a cake in the shape of a urinal, I gather?
Stephanie: It’s a little ‘freshener’ thing that usually sits in a urinal (i.e. in the boys’ bathroom) so you pee on it and it makes it smell less like pee. Because urinals do not have standing water so it’s just concentrated pee with the concentrated smell. Although now that I think about it, it’d be MUCH funnier if it were a birthday cake in the shape of a urinal hanging from the ceiling with electrical tape.
Just to clear things up, I wanted to tell you that I put it there. Whenever I peed on the ceiling, I thought it smelled bad, so I thought that the little U.C. would solve the problem. Apparently I’ve just created more problems.
Oh, and that’s not tape. It’s human skin.
Jeff: DAMN YOU NARVID! DAMN YOU!
just another prime example of the evils that co-workers do!
Shit, a urinal cake is not an air freshener? Annie Choi, you never fail to rock my world with your wealth of knowledge.
Ian: I think it’s the building people actually. No one in our office would ever do such a thing. Mostly because it takes a lot of work to tape a urinal cake to the ceiling with electrical tape and no one in the office is really into work.
Aura: Oddly enough, an air freshener is also not a urinal cake.
That’s not work. Anyway, it was Del.
