Don’t Worry, It’s Entirely Natural

What if Zoe started peeing in her office chair? Not just once, but regularly, and without shame. She’d wee in her chair and then stand up and say, "Oh great. Now I have that to clean up!" So she’d clean it up and change pants. Then two days later she’d do it again. She doesn’t do this, but what if she did? Nothing in the employee handbook forbids this behavior. Perhaps we would grow to accept it, and eventually adopt the behavior ourselves. Not me, of course, but everyone else in the office.

That would make for one smelly office.

Yes, but we'd stop noticing it after a few weeks. The odor would become part of the scenery, like beautiful balsams waving in the breeze or an Arby's cup that's been smashed into the pavement and driven over so many times that it looks like elephant melanoma.
