I take it your boss was Gen X or older?

In the pre cell phone era, it was common for bathrooms to contain various magazines or books.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Uhhhhhh.......was that a regional thing? Because I'm old enough to remember bathrooms before cell phones.

I don't remember magazines/books being left in the bathroom. I only remember bringing them in.

Seinfeld did a whole episode on how gross it was to brings books into the bathroom.

Looks like it's still a thing...

You know that nobody under the age of 40 has ever ordered that.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Oh, definitely not. I'd say no one under 50 would even be a good bet, but I had to look and make sure this wasn't a Fruit of the Loom Cornucopia/Berenstein Bears type thing.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Wait why the fuck are they gaslighting us about that cornucopia
