Are you habitually early for appointments, or are you the type of person who is always showing up 10 minutes late?
Do you purposefully set your clocks ahead five minutes, to give yourself the impression that you’ll be on time if you only think that it’s 5 minutes later than it actually is?
Who would have imagined that we would ever carry a phone around with us in our pocket, with the ability – more or less – to reach out and call anybody we want to, no matter where in the world they are, for practically free?
If you had asked your grandparents when they were growing up if they thought this would be possible, they’d tell you were out of your mind, McFly.

You’re in the office on yet another dreaded conference call.
It’s your third or fourth one of the day, and you’ve been tied to your desk throughout. Haven’t even had a chance to take a potty break.
And the call is just droning on and on. Conference calls are the worst, aren’t they?

Ever have a conversation with a man?
How hard is it to get a word in edgewise with them? Pretty darn tough, isn’t it? It’s surprising that men can even have a conversation with other men at all, isn’t it?

Web Watch was at a business meeting the other day when the subject of cellphone apps came up as a natural part of the conversation.
It was a simple discussion among serious executives. It was, if you will allow the capital letters, a Very Serious Meeting.
And then someone at the table did the unthinkable. They actually pulled out their cell phone.

Quick poll: should you get naked when you go to your spa for a massage or other treatment?
For those who are not familiar with getting a professional massage, such as at a spa or a resort, one of the most frequently asked questions is whether you should strip down nude or not.
Web Watch will make one part of this easy for you: if you’re getting one of those fancy poolside massages while on a beach vacation, chances are that you’ll want to keep your swimsuit on rather than get naked in front of the everyone enjoying their day in the sun. You may be in a cabana, but cabanas aren’t always as private as they may seem.
In other words, save the nudity for the treatment room.

Web Watch has seen some pretty stinky office bathrooms, both literally and figuratively.
There was one office bathroom where you had to get the key from the receptionist at the front desk, as locking the door was the only way to keep non-employees from using a bathroom that they weren’t supposed to have access to. We’re sure the receptionist didn’t like knowing each individual’s bathroom habits any more than we liked having to share them with her.
There was the office restroom that didn’t have any stall doors.
The bathroom that perpetually smelled like rotten fish.
And then there was the building that had a serial pooper. Every two weeks or so, a stranger would wander into the building and spread feces all over the men’s and women’s restrooms. This went on for about three months, until security was finally able to identify the mentally-challenged person and have them taken to a location that could help them.
So when Web Watch says that we know a bad office bathroom situation when we see – or smell – one, believe it.
