restroom etiquette

Tweet

There are 14 women that live in the shelter here, and only two bathrooms. Without fail, at least twice a day I go in the bathroom and there is no toilet paper. I consider it common courtesy to replace this if you take the last of it, but apparently others do not think it so. Not only that, apparently last night someone must have gone in there and found themselves without any paper and decided to clog up the commode with paper towels, even though there is a sign on the door that says do not put paper towels in the toilet. So up until a few moments ago, there was only one toilet for 14 of us to share. And for anyone who drinks coffee, you know this is a difficult matter. The maintenance man came and fixed it about 30 minutes ago, and of course when I went to use it-- no toilet paper. Each day I take one more roll than the day before. I am up to carrying 5 rolls in there now, and I'm sure it will be depleted by dinner time. I will restrain myself from complaining, I am very grateful to be off the streets and not having to relieve myself in the woods. Instead I vent to you my mylot family, perhaps some of you have some stories of being "stuck on the pot" without the proper tools.
