Controlled Chaos Part 2
So having to use a public bathroom is horrible. I thought the bathrooms would be just for the offices, but they are also open for the public to use. Since I’ve been here everything I thought would happen has come true. There’s been blood drops on the TANK of the toilet, not to be confused with the bowl, people can’t seem to figure out what the silver handle is for, toilet paper on the floor, paper towels on the floor, people not washing their hands, etc. Also some pan handlers (homeless people who stand at a corner or busy area asking for a hand out) have taken up across the street so they like to come in and use the restroom. I thank God I’m not a guy!
I’d love to know why people don’t flush the toilet. They are adults. They are potty trained. Unless you’re not potty trained you don’t have an excuse to flush the toilet. I just don’t get it. What’s up with leaving the bathroom a mess? You drop something pick it up. It’s not like I’m feeling they should clean the sink after using it. Just some bathroom etiquette would be nice. You know things like wash your hands, flush the toilet and if you drop something pick it up.
I didn’t realize how good I had it until this last weekend. I came in and I stayed for almost a full work day. This time I had to use the restroom while I was there though. I won’t be doing THAT ever again. I’ve used the restroom one other time, but other co-workers were here so I felt safe. You know, they knew I was gone and if I wasn’t back in a while they would be concerned. It wasn’t just me, myself and I. My husband knew I was at work, but I also told him I wouldn’t be home until 5 or so. This time I felt nervous and insecure. It was the quickest bathroom stop I’ve ever done. In one hand I held my can of Lysol, ready to spray any baddies, and the other I held my office keys, pointed down of course since it’s easier to do damage if you slash down then up. I didn’t use the back door like I normally do to get to the restroom since there’s a long hallway with a couple of blind spots. Luckily, nothing happened except what my over-active imagination thought up, but I definitely won’t be doing a full work day anymore just in case I ever have to use the restroom!
huh? ur office toilet is also for the public use??? holy cow!

OMG! I don't even use my campus toilets because they're almost the same as public toilet except that it's a tiny bit cleaner. You just reminded me that I'm yet to get stuff like pepper sprays and learn some self defence since I get here.

On the tank?! >.> The nerve of some people. And how the heck did that get there anyway? It's disgusting. I was going to say, "Get your Lysol" when you mentioned it in your entry. XD
