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.

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.

strictly for women only? Isn’t that kinda redundant? And what do you mean documented? The only way being documented is a deterrant for anything is if it is in a deathnote.

And this is why people pee in plants, the gym, the drain, the fitting room and every place else they aren’t suppose to. I blame college. I’ve decided. I blame college and MTV.

I half-heartedly attempted to climb the stairs to the men’s room, but soon lost interest. I would apologize for using the women’s room, but I hate lying.

I’m on team “Piss in the kitchenette”. Honestly, why can’t college students handle co-ed bathrooms? And the “subtle” dig at his gender identity because he’s unwilling to walk more than a few feet to piss in the middle of the night? All signs point to some weird shit going down.

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.
The guys have every right to complain, it’s just a pain in the ass.

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.

I try and put myself in his shoes from when I lived in dorms. How would I feel if I had to goto a different floor every time I needed to use a bathroom? And if his case is the same as mine, this is not only to use the toilet, but to use the shower, brush your teeth, use a sink, etc.

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!

Is Kyle some Nancy Drew wannabe?
Does he have a notebook that he documents suspicious or illegal events?
I picture Kyle scribbling furiously in his notebook documenting all sorts of things.
Every time he tries to show the authorities his findings they laugh at him and tell him to take his notebook and go away.
Later he is found crying in the girls washroom ’cause nobody likes him.

The OP should continue to use the bathroom until he is officially sanctioned. He then should contact the administration in writing and demand that they provide him with fair and equal accomodation to public facilities. If he can provide a concrete example where he experienced discomfort, pain, or actually soiled himself, and thus was exposed to contempt and ridicule as a result, so much the better.
I would be more than happy to help the OP recover an undisclosed amount of damages for his suffering.

Yea #32! In our dorm, all bathrooms were co-ed – 1 per floor of 8 people. If you were shut in the shower, you could yell “go away” if someone knocked. Or let them get to the storage cubbies to grab their shampoo and go to another floor. Just like adults. Of course the population was only 25% female, so the girls learned to chill. And the guys knew holy retribution would come from being a smart-@$$. And for the girls who felt vulnerable, there was an all-girl dorm. Guys could live in frats (is that an improvement?). My mother stayed in my room on a visit once, and even she was finally convinced that such a system could work.

I’m assuming that this is NOT someone who lives on this floor, but someone who visits frequently (as I did in college when my boyfriend lived in another dorm). Therefore, it is not that much of an inconvenience to ask you to use the bathroom on the floor that is assigned to your gender (as I, my bf, and tons of other folks did when visiting significant others). On my all-girls floor, we frequently had people’s boyfriends who were too lazy to go somewhere else and used our bathroom, and it was super annoying. We called it “wrong way feet,” as in the feet were facing toward the toilet instead of away. Just take the stairs to the guys’ floor, already. Obviously you took some stairs to get to a girls’ floor in the first place.

He might have an FHA claim against the dorm. By forcing men to use restrooms on other floors, but not the women, they are discriminating regarding the services provided on the basis of sex.

It’s funny. I thought all the Women’s bathrooms in this particular building locked. At least the ones on the other floors do.
I sense a bit of a double standard – I’ve never seen a girl get in trouble for using the boys room on my floor – which I’ve seen happen when they don’t have their keys handy.

If this were the other way around you can bet the females would be crying to high heaven if THEY could not use the bathroom on the floor where they resided. The girls from NOW would be picketing all over the place. Usual double standard and another example of how colleges are male unfriendly. I have seen situations in which there was just one female in a area with all males (like a military academy) and they would make all the males get out (posting a guard at the door) while she took her sweet time using the facility.

I don’t blame that guy, I’d be pissed off (no pun intended) too if the men’s bathroom on the floor I lived on got taken away. It was clearly designed to be a guy’s bathroom (I’d bet there are urinals and the whole 9 yards). If they want to make both the restrooms female they shouldn’t have any guys staying on that floor — end of story!
