We began this new segment in relatively benign fashion with a shot at the cell phone yakkers who don't know when to pipe down while in a public space. For my next "Pet Peeve," I'm going to dabble in more treacherous territory. 
(Seeing as I've already logged a few posts today, perhaps it will get lost in the shuffle, just in case anyone is grossed out.) So without further ado, a warning to those who might get a little squeamish on this one:
2. Health club eqiquette: I cannot speak for what goes on in the ladies locker room, but there have been a few unfortunate moments in the men's locker area over the last couple of weeks. Thus, if you are reading this and you are a member of the same health club, I beg your indulgence:
When going "number one" before a shower, please be polite and at least bring a towel with you so as not to allow your fellow patrons to see more of you than we would prefer.
I think that's about as delicately as I'm able to put it.
(Memo to Newsday blog guru Mark La Monica: If this is in poor taste, please remove this post. If you think Tribune chairman Sam Zell likes the fact that I'm doing as he suggested and pushing the envelope trying to draw readers, then please forward this to him ASAP.)
Oh, and please don't ask me about the urinal story at Newark Penn Station.

So let's see.....
Glauber is behind Best by 28,000 hits so far this month.
Glauber has a picture of a urinal on his blog.
Best has a picture of Cheryl Tiegs.....
Hmmmmm.
Hey Bob, at least get a little more creative.....
Hang a sign over the urinal that says...
"The Future is in Your Hands".
Upon further review.....
If you really want to DAZZLE Zell, go over to Human Resources and confiscate one those pithy little rah rah posters they give out
and hang it over the urinal....you know....the one that says...
NEWSDAY. The Future is in Your Hands.

Thanks for the suggestions. I figured the urinal would be of significant enough shock value to draw readers in.
As for Tiegs photo, it has been taken care of.
