The Chicago Sun-Times would like to kindly remind you to please turn off any recording devices you may have on your persons while heading to the bathroom:

The good news for one city councilman in Georgetown, Texas: Few people were in attendance at a meeting last week when he excused himself to go to the bathroom and left his microphone on, broadcasting his experience to the council chamber.

The bad news: Hundreds of thousands of people have seen and heard what he did, thanks to a video of the council meeting.

Even worse news: Based on the time between him flushing the toilet and how he returned only seconds later, it appears he didn’t wash his hands.
