Odd

I've been in two bathrooms in Dallas that have ashtrays built into the armrests in the stalls. I guess they are probably a couple of decades old, but I'm wondering, was smoking on the toilet once a common habit?

That is TOO funny--I'm going to have the image of a Ewings-era Dallas lady smoking on the toilet stuck in my head all day!

Funny how what used to seem everyday now seems exotic.

Bathrooms have armrests? LOL. I know I'm paranoid but I try not to let any part of my body touch anything in a public bathroom that any part of anybody else's body could possibly have touched ("cover not hover") -- even arms. But you're right about the smoking on the pot thing. I don't get it. Maybe a ciggy helps one to relax???

Maybe it's not an arm rest exactly (a purse rest?), but it's a shelf thingie connected to the stall. Usually stainless steel. Anybody know what I'm talking about?

Oh yes I know what you're talking about – I haven't seen one with an ashtray built in though!
