What’s the weirdest thing YOU’VE done in the office bathroom?

Ah, the office bathroom, where etiquette enters a grey area like no other. Don't you love hearing the stories of weird things that happen there? I can only imagine the awkward encounters that happen in the men's room - it's nerve-wracking enough to be in the women's room! I've found myself in the stall next to my boss's boss, who wanted to chat. And shared make-up with my managers. And picked up on killer office gossip. And watched people floss.
Women's Health magazine has a great "Top Ten List" of rules to follow. The fact that we need that list tells me something - weird uncomfortable stuff happens in the office bathroom!!
The weirdest thing I've done in the office bathroom is take an emergency hangover-induced nap. On those mornings that a greasy egg sandwich and huge coffee didn't conquer pounding headaches, I would lean my head against the cool metal stall wall and close my eyes for about 10 minutes. Did the trick every time.
The weirdest thing I've seen is a senior exec manage to walk into a crowded ladies room on the phone (bluetooth), and continue her conversation throughout the entire experience. Ew. The person on the other end MUST have noticed the sounds of flushing and sinks being used, right???
