I Gotta Go

Posted by Lennie Small.

I was on campus today leisurely making my way to class, but it was relatively unfamiliar land on campus. In accordance with normal bodily functions, I had to pee, which means I had to walk past my classroom to go hunt for a restroom. Halfway through circling the building, I found one, but it was the women's room, so I quickly hypothesized a couple potential locations where the men's room should be found. At first I tried the door ten feet down the way, but that was the entrance to some administrative office, which not only did not have a bathroom but was also no place where I belonged. My next guess was on the other side of the structure, by symmetry, but there would be no door at all to be found there.

After one more circle around the building I was left with no choice but to conclude that this small lecture hall was built without a men's room. Perplexed, I eventually wandered to the adjacent building and finally found somewhere to do my business, but I feel like such a basic need should be better covered in the modern times in which we live. After all, how hard should it be to find a bathroom in a college lecture building, particularly when they obviously found enough room for the ladies' room?
