RECORD STORE TALES Part 169: Open Door Piss
I used to work with this guy, Joe. People who know where I worked, they know Joe. And they know Joe is a very, shall we say, unique person. Funny as hell, but there is nobody like Joe. Straight from my journal, here’s the proof. I call this one the Open Door Piss.

So I’m with Joe at work, talking about work or something. The conversation is as follows:
Me – (babbles on about work or something)
Joe – Hey, keep talking, follow me though.
Me – Where are we going?
Joe – Just follow me.
Me – OK, ummm, into the bathroom?
Joe – No, just stand outside, keep talking though.
(I hear him upzip his pants)
Me – Are you peeing?
Joe – Yeah man! It’s the open door piss! So what was I saying before? Oh yeah…(continues conversation).
Joe’s a pretty interesting guy.
A couple years later, I was having a Rock Band party at my house, during which Uncle Meat also did the Open Door Piss. Must be a Record Store Guy thing?

I’m not sure “interesting” is the word I would have used there… I have been at a guy’s flat and his girlfriend did an open door shit. Not impressed. And she didn’t even work in a record store so she had no excuse!

I think Joe’s done the open door shit too. When he works alone, he doesn’t have much choice! He has to see if somebody’s coming in!

And when the person coming in sees him?

He usually sees them first. But they can SMELL him alright.

Great for business I’m sure! I hope he washed his hands…

I would have shut the door and told him the conversation could wait.
