dude kinda has a point

May 5th, 2008 · 140 comments

at this college dorm in seattle, our anonymous submitter says each floor ordinarily has one male and one female bathroom. however, because this particular floor happens to have an overwhelming number of female residents, both bathrooms were deemed female-only…much to some guy’s chagrin.

    “You will be documented”? Documented doing what? Peeing in a room that has toilets? The horror.

    I think Kyle’s kinda the bitch here.

    “I don’t remember anything about climbing stairs just to go pee in the housing contract.”

    Well, no, that’s not the sort of detail that needs to get spelled out. It doesn’t say anything about not wanking in the hallway, but common courtesy dictates that you don’t.

    I wonder if Kyle would “document” SOME GUY for peeing in the sink of the kitchenette. I bet that’s not against the housing contract either.

      I bet he developed that particular handriting to mask his identity. He talks big about peeing in sinks, but then when he can’t hold it any longer he drags himself upstairs to have a pee in the men’s toilets, reeking of self-loathing.

      He’s also unusually squeamish about everything.

    What in the world?? If the bathroom is too crowded at times, shouldn’t the women just go to another floor instead of taking over the men’s room? Does their Residential Life office really allow this to go on? Maybe they should just make the bathrooms co-ed so this wouldn’t be a problem… that’s what we do in my dorm.

      Or you all could stop being a bunch of hippies, with all your co-ed’ness, and just have all-girl floors and all-guy floors, like they do at my school.

      I kid! I love my hippie brethren, with your wacky co-ed floors and bathrooms. I feel like it would be like living in a sit-com.

      I’m going to agree with the girl. I went to a crazy hippie school where the bathrooms were mostly co-ed in the dorms. It made life considerably easier.

      We have a similar problem at my work. The men use the women’s bathroom if someone is in their bathroom. Well, most of them men at my work are truck drivers that:
      1. Don’t EVER flush.
      2. Leave grease on the seat
      3. Stay in there for an amazing 10-15 minutes (conservative estimate)
      Meanwhile, we have to run across the parking lot to the Indian diner to use the bathroom. The mens room is…not an option. It looks like something out of a Saw movie.

      I like the way “climbing stairs” seems to be a huge ordeal for this guy. As if the men’s room is at the top of the spooky lighthouse.

      And if the dorm is ADA compliant, there should be an elevator. Ta-da, problem solved!

      2nsout,
      as far as ADA compliance goes there does not have to be an elevator as long as everything a student would need is provided on the first floor (bathrooms, laundry facilities blah blah blah) if this is the first floor then they have DEFINITELY made themselves ADA incompliant, but if it is not the first floor their ADA compliance is independent of having an elevator.

      My dorm my freshman year was old and had no elevator. It was the dean’s halls for all the honors nerds (I guess there are no disabled honors students). The girls were on the 3rd floor, guys on the 2nd, and laundry was in the windowless basement, aptly nicknamed “Hell” because the dryer vented right into the room. That was not a fun trek.

      Ahh college, I’ll miss ya!

    Honestly, there was an incident where they decided to put locks on the women’s communal bathroom in our dorm and since the office was closed, I couldn’t get my key for the weekend, so I had to walk a few flights down to one that wasn’t locked….

    I was pissed about it. I wasn’t paying $15k a year to not be able to use the bathroom on my own floor.

    Having stayed in hostels before, when I wake up in the middle of the night and have to climb two flights of stairs and wait for the drunk people to stop puking in the bathroom, I can understand the desire to not want to have to climb up the stairs and find a bathroom on another floor. And how about if you have Montezuma’ s revenge? The dude would have to set up camp right outside the bathroom on the other floor.
    At work it’s one thing - if you’re paying good money to stay at school you should be able to have a bathroom on your floor.

    We had an issue like this on my floor my junior year in college. We were too lazy to walk all the way to the other end of the floor so we just used the men’s bathroom.

    No one seemed to care until the RA put up “This is a men’s room: No Girls allowed” and vice versa on the bathroom doors.

    My roommate thought it was hysterical and stole the “No boys allowed” sign for our room. The RA then came to ask if we had seen who stole the sign while staring at it hanging prominently in our common room. He pretended he didn’t see it while we claimed innocence.

    Stuff like this is so common, i don’t know people get all huffy about it!
