Latino girl here. We brush our teeth after lunch at the company's restroom, normally. However, when I travel to the US, people don't do that. Would you consider it disgusting to see someone else brushing their teeth at the restroom?

I personally wouldn't find it weird. I dont but I often wish I did. More power to you if you do!

I personally have no issue with it.

I will say that when I had Invisalign I had to brush after every meal. I brushed in office bathrooms and airports all over the country and always got weird looks. That being said, who cares? My teeth were cleaner than ever and lookie-loos can just avert their sensitive eyes.

Just prepare a cheery response in case someone has the guts to say something to you - “A healthy mouth is the foundation of good health!” Brush away. ✨ 🦷 ✨

If you HAVE to brush your teeth, please have etiquette. Try to go to the furthest sink and please rinse the sink well after spitting in it. Im surprised more people have not witnessed more hygiene habits when people brush their teeth in public. People are gross.

It’s not weird, just tidy up after yourself and carry on. Not every workplace has individual stalls like someone suggested. Rinse the sink, wipe the mirror should you have gotten spots there and move on. I also like to move to the most further sink but I also do that when refreshing my make up for work or any after work events.

No nothing wrong with it. What I find disgusting is when people don't wash their hands after using the bathroom.

not weird at all! people floss and brush all the time at the places i work/ed.

Nah no problem.

No. I see people doing it frequently enough.

You'd figure with so many adults using Invisalign nowadays, people would get used to it. Also, there are lots of bathrooms with Listerine. If someone gives me a weird look, I pause and look over and make it awkward for them. Why would they care what the next person is doing? Of course you have to clean up afterwards.

No not at all, I dont do it since I dont brush after meals but I would not hesitate to do it if I had to.

I find it a little weird, but used to see it regularly. Just do it.

Depends how dirty the bathroom is

I mean I don't see the issue...do what you gotta do in the bathroom.

I thinks it’s weird people have a problem with it. Who cares what other people think

Def not weird and if anything it will make me self conscious of my own habits! Teeth are so precious to take care of and depending on your genetics, they can really rack up a dental bill even if you are extremely diligent

Monday Morning rumination: unsolicited advise is criticism.

Much to reflect on with this topic. Last week I was told in a 1:1 with a new contact that I was “too direct”. After some time chewing on the conversation I was struggling to place the emotions I was feeling. Turns out I was feeling guilty and shame for being me, for taking up space. Lesson of the week: unsolicited advice is a criticism of you, a micro aggression of who you are, and being “too much”. What would you do??
