Sharing a bathroom in a dorm brings out interesting people that you normally would never meet otherwise. Some of them are cool, while others are less than complacent.
1. The stranger
The stranger can manifest from one of two different types of people: a person you have never seen before in your life, or a person who is definitely NOT supposed to be in your bathroom. I have walked into the girls’ bathroom many times to find a drunk man peeing in the toilet at 3:00 in the morning.
2. The music-blaster
These are the assholes who believe it’s okay to completely mask your music with their shitty music choices. When I go to the shower and crank up Adele for my nightly cry, I really don’t want to be interrupted by Jay-Z in the shower next door. Turn down your volume, please.
3. The bathroom ghost
You’ve never seen her face, but she floats in and out of the bathroom inconspicuously. Sometimes she walks out of a bathroom stall you didn’t know anyone was in, or she finishes brushing her teeth just as you walk in but walks so fast you can barely see her go.
4. The Facetimer
She is constantly talking on the phone or Facetiming her mom or boyfriend IN THE BATHROOM. Sometimes she’s sitting in the shower, other times she’s brushing her hair, and sometimes, she’s on the toilet!
5. The perfect one
It’s 7:00 AM and she wears satin pajamas and has the most perfect, glowing skin you’ve ever seen, while you look like you just survived the French Revolution.
6. The hippie
You’ve only seen her in the bathroom once in a while and she always smells like grass. She never wears shoes, not even in the shower, and her toenails definitely shouldn’t be naturally yellow.
7. The shy pooper
I’ve gotten used to the whole sharing a bathroom thing, so I don’t really get self-conscious about people hearing me pee or poop anymore, but this person definitely does! You can tell she was just holding everything will all of her might until you leave because the sound of the door opening is enough to let her release the loudest fart in the entire world.
8. The counter hog
She seems to think that the bathroom, to be shared with around 20 other people, is her personal bathroom that we just have the privilege of using. She never lets you use the sink unless you need to wash your hands, and even then it seems like such a chore for her to have to wait to plug in her straightener until you’re done.
9. The couple
You don’t want to go into the bathroom when they’re…occupying it… trust me.
10. The cleaner
She always brings sanitation wipes and wipes down the bathroom before using it. I mean, it’s kind of weird but also really awesome for the rest of us!
