I'm sure you are a wonderful person. I'm sure you go home to your family after you're done cleaning my bathroom and you play board games with them and have pizza nights. I'm also sure that while you're home, you have free access to your bathroom(s).
It must be nice to have such a privilege. I pay a lot of money to go to this wonderful university, and for me to have to take the elevator to relieve myself in the morning is just absurd. You'll close off my bathroom rights just to text in the other room. You have no schedule whatsoever, so I never know when I actually can head to the bathroom, and even once you start, you usually take 2-3 hours. Why? Why do you do this?
It's honestly gotten to the point that it's a little funny. I can go to several classes, and I like seeing if you're still in there when I get back to my dorm. You usually are.God forbid I look over in that general area while you're doing nothing in there—I'll be stared down as if I'm doing something wrong. How? How am I wrong?
It might be different if you worked on schedule. It's so inconvenient some days for you to block off any bathroom use at 10:00 a.m., and other days restrict me at 3:00 p.m. I love peeing in my designated stall, and for you to take that right away from me...I just don't understand you.
I love joking around with my friends, saying that I probably shower more on other floors than I do on my own. This is slowly becoming a reality. Many mornings, I am pressed for time (as I am an exhausted, stressed college student), and am forced onto the elevator to shower on another floor. I can't even count the number of awkward encounters I've had while I have bed head and a sour expression in just a towel and my shower shoes. When I shower on other floors, I don't already know which ones work the best. I just choose one and hope that more than one drop of water can do the trick.
Like I said, I'm sure you're a good person. But this is where I live. I don't have the same luxury that you do when you go home to use your bathroom. You get paid to do this efficiently, and I would really like to see some progress, as would my peers. Something really has to change.
