In my continuing angstful reporting on the decline of our culture and what passes for a society, I'll add that someone pooped on the FLOOR in the ladies' room in the PE building at school today. On the FLOOR. And of course, because these random things must happen to me or it wouldn't be a Monday, I opened the door to the stall and there it was - a plop of poop - right in the front of the toilet. It was like that pile of fake poop that was such a sidesplitter when I was young. Right. Oh, the hilarity. Stop it. My side. I'm still trying to get over it. Except this - SHIT - was real. And not only that, but the...shitter had taken great pains to cover the floor behind the toilet with piles of those tissue seat covers, in some bizarre stab at a fecal art installation (I can just see my Google hits now.) The toilet itself was also stuffed with paper, and for why? I mean, what could have made it in there? And just to be completely gross, let me note that whatever I saw on the floor, not that I'll describe it for you or anything, was....solid...enough to have been able to make it in an organized fashion to the APPROPRIATE RECEPTACLE that carries it away so the next poor person doesn't have to look at it! As in, not the floor.
And besides the fact that this encounter almost made me vomit it was so beyond disgusting, it also left me with a lingering sense of injustice (like THAT'S rare!) and a question: how is it that when I have to go that bad, the paper's always about to run out? I mean, such that if I pulled that kind of...shit...there'd only be enough paper products in the stall to perhaps cover one floor tile, instead of the equivalent of a shower curtain strewn all over the dirty floor. I'd just like to know that, God. Thanks.





cant. stop. laughing.

I know! When I got the job at Borders when I moved home, my ONLY question was, "Do I have to clean the bathroom?" And when the woman said no, I was like, I'm hired! Gross!
