Toilet turf

This posting could be classified as a rant, so beware.

I spend a great deal of my time on the 4th floor working at my studio desk space in Wurster Hall. It's a nice set up. This studio space has desks for 15 of my classmates and on the other side of the room is a smaller area where the MUD (Master of Urban Design) students work. There are about 6 of those people. Approximately 10 faculty members have offices on this floor. There are another 15 PhD students that also have offices here.

We all share a single bathroom that is located in the hallway. It is a single unit, i.e. no mens and women's room.

That's one toilet for up to 30-45 people, depending on who shows up for the day.

Well, over the last 3 months or so, there have been many instances when I am working here late at night and so are one or two other people in the MUD unit. I've noticed a strange pattern when one of these people uses the bathroom. I go in there 30 min later and the place is a mess. Not just a soppy mess, but a hairy mess as well. And from the looks of the evidence left on the toilet, I have my suspect narrowed down to a specific individual. I don't mean to get all CSI on you all, but it's rather obvious. Even for a city planner in training such as myself.

What irks me and astounds me is that there is absolutely NO way this marking of the toilet can be done without at least some effort. Because every time this individual uses the bathroom, there is evidence left behind. EVERY DAMN TIME. It is quite strange. What would lead someone to take up such a abberant hobby? The guy seems perfectly normal, but all he does in the bathroom is sick and rather twisted.

For heaven's sake, it warranted a long blog entry. It REALLY is THAT BAD.

I wonder if anyone else in the class has come across his hairy offerings? I'd ask my classmates, but just the idea of bringing up such a topic makes me shudder.
