OP here. All your comments have me in fits of laughter, and yes I do seem to have gained quite some leg muscle! For those asking why I hadn't seen the other toilets, it's because I thought the only thing around that corner was the post room, so I've never had a reason to go around there to find the other gents. Although I don't work in an office with all women, most are, and the issue of toilet placement has never come up when taking to the men. And before anyone else says about it, we do have lifts, but our boss gets annoyed at us if we used it. Thanks for getting this posted!

Knowing is half the battle. But it sounds like you lost that half, but won the other half. Probably isn't only your leg muscles that got a work out.
So are the lifts just for managers? I've worked in places like that, it's annoying. But you are right, you gain leg muscle.
No, every other employee in every other department can use them. Just us that aren't allowed to, he doesn't want us to be lazy. In his defence, he uses the stairs all the time too
I find that quite hard when the free tea dispenser is almost right next to my desk
Ahh, us British love a cup of tea whilst in the office! ☺ Unless you're incredibly desperate OP, I'd keep going up and down the stairs! Like someone said, extra time away from the desk and exercise! ☺
It's not just the British who appreciate a good cup of tea.
Yeah, but there's enjoying a good cup of tea, and then there's having 5 empty cups of tea on your desk by midday
Fitter is not a word. More fit is what you were looking for.
I think that would be the fitter word
As I've said, it was the only gents I was shown on my induction, and the others where somewhere I had no need to go
much healthier though
hey, its exercise
definitely sounds like my kind of luck...but hey, keep the old one in mind for exercise. can't go wrong with that.
lol I can relate to this. For about 3 months after I started my current job I turned right out of the stairwell and walked around the giant square corridor to my office, before realizing that if I turned left instead it was literally 2 doors away from the stairwell.
ive been in school for 5 months and i have no clue where the bathroom is in my one building so i go next door.

Least you've been keeping fit running up all those stairs, OP!
The only path to success is through perseverance. Keep going up those stairs and use it as your exercise!
