Bathroom War Crimes

How is it possible that grown men who can build a 70-tab model with 1,000 scenarios still manage to turn a bathroom into a literal crime scene?

I’m serious. We work in one of the most obsessive, detail-oriented, supposedly high-functioning environments on earth, and yet the men’s bathroom on every floor looks like it was used by a pack of raccoons during a liquidity event.

I’m not even asking for luxury. I’m not asking for spa-level cleanliness. I’m asking for the absolute minimum:

• Flush the toilet.
Aim like you’ve seen a bathroom before.
• Don’t leave paper towels all over the floor like you just walked out of a distressed asset.
• If you have explosive shits, at least have the decency to clean up after yourself.

The funniest part is the same guys who’ll spend 45 minutes tweaking an output tab to make the comps slide look prettier than the actual deal somehow develop selective blindness in the bathroom. Suddenly nobody knows how toilets work. Suddenly it’s chaos. Suddenly there’s no accountability.

This is Wall Street. We allegedly care about standards. We allegedly care about optics. We allegedly care about being “professional.” And then half the cubicles look like the SEC should be called in.

I’m not saying everyone has to be a saint. I’m saying if you can manage a live deal, you can manage a flush.

End of rant.
