College Bathroom Fun
          This page will be a shrine to the 2nd floor Founders bathrooms that I had to use for the first year and a half of my college career.  They actually fixed half of this stuff about 2 months before we left for the summer.  If it's any indication of how gross the bathrooms were, first semester of my first year of college, I spit a piece of gum in the air while I was in the shower and tried to catch it in my mouth again.  I missed and the gum landed in my eye.  I removed the gum from my face and stuck it to the shower curtain rod, where it still remains to this day.  Their method of "cleaning" is to dump a bucket of soapy water on the floor, squirt some soap in the toilets, and occasionally wipe off the mirrors.  Anyway, here's some fun pictures.
 
  <---- Here's a good shot of our lovely sink that never shut off.  No matter how hard you try, it will not turn off.  Constant dripping.  Drip, drip, drip.  The other sink in this bathroom screams when you turn on the cold water.  Any of my 2nd floor female friends can attest to this.  It lets off the loudest high pitched squeeling sound and doesn't stop until you turn it off.  Oh, and there was no soap dispenser in this bathroom either.  All of these things combined made washing your face and hands loads of fun!
 
  <---- Here's a minor problem.  Not even really worth mentioning, but I will anyway cuz it was still pretty gross if you think about it.  This was the thing on the back of our toilets.  The gross thing about them is the green moldy stuff all over them.  Like I said, it's not a big deal, but still pretty gross.  It sort of proves that they're never washed.
 
  <---- This picture is simply lovely.  I'm not sure what these things are/were, but they are on the ceiling of the bathrooms, right above the showers.  They are so packed with dirt, dust, rust, and chipping paint that while you are shower, it's always a mystery of what may fall on your head.
 
  <---- Here's a little shot of the rusty shower stalls and the disgusting floors.
 
  <---- Another pretty shot of the rusty shower stalls.
 
  <---- And yet another shot of the rusty stalls.
 
        Other problems include, but are not limited to, shower faucets that don't turn on, certain showers that produce no hot water, one stall with the pressure of a firehose, another shower with no pressure at all, a hand dryer that short circuits the electricity in the bathroom everytime anyone tries to use it twice in a row, a broken kickstand on the door so that it never stays up, therefor the door always stays open since the stopper's always against the floor, etc, etc.  Oh, how I'll miss Founders Hall.   ;-)
 
        After a few emails, we got new stalls in our bathrooms, and our soap dispenser was replaced.  The rest of the problems still remain as far as I know.  It doesn't matter to me anymore, though, cuz I'm out of there!
