QUESTION

When you are in a bathroom and there's an OUT OF ORDER sign on a stall door and a obviously ... out of order toilet, what do *you* do?

A) Use another stall.

B) Use it anyway and flush, thus causing it to overflow.

Yup, some nimrod did the latter. It's not like we don't have THREE OTHER BATHROOMS if it was that urgent.

*Brain explodes* You seem to be having a bad toilet day. My brain refused to even try and comprehend why someone would use a toilet with an Out of Order sign taped to the door when there are others around.

Someone JUST DID THAT at my workplace last week. We (the other employees and the housekeeping staff) were deeply confused. There was a huge sign that said OUT OF ORDER on the door. Why would anyone go ahead and use it? THERE WERE OTHER STALLS. WHY. *brain explodes*

I remember reading (though I don't remember where) about a janitor that cleaned bathrooms for a living. And he went on to say that no matter how big of a sign he put out people would walk into the bathroom. Later he started building huge gates and things to block the doors, and would sit and watch people take the barriers down as he waited for the bathroom to dry.

Un. Real.

You would think that people coming to the library would know how to read.

Obviously not. :P

Nope. When we found out through the fall survey that the library was actually the hottest social scene on campus (lots of people complaining about the noise), suddenly the really tight, revealing clothes I saw on a lot of girls made so much sense.

They're after an entirely different sort of education.

Huh. Well, at least you're not like the library on FSU was when I was there - talk about dead, the only way that most people came in there was to do their work, and they'd take off right after.

But yeah, sounds like they're more interested in sex ed than book learnin'. ;)

B') Use it anyway, and while using it, ponder what order the toilets are supposed to be in (chronogical? installation? frequency of usage?), and why it matters and how to rectify it, and flush, thus causing it to overflow?

I think that's asking too much of the students at this particular campus. :D

A) Use another stall.

See, you use Earth logic.
