*is seriously skeeved*

[trinityofone]

I just got back from tutorial to discover that someone had been in my room.

Specifically, my bathroom. And yes, I am sure. It started out as just a weird feeling: as I came in (the bathroom door leads right off the "entry hall") I noticed that the bath mat was askew. "Huh," I thought, but I had left in a hurry and am notoriously absent minded, so I didn't think too much about it. I took out the garbage because I am super responsible like that, and then, when I came back in again, I noticed that the toilet lid was down and that the toilet paper was flipped up oddly. Again, these were both things that could have been done by me in a hurry, but--they weren't.

This was confirmed when I lifted the toilet lid and saw that it was, shall we say, not flushed? And when I took care of this little problem and went to wash my hands, I saw that my soap had been turned upside down and that there was something...stuck in it. Ew, ew, a thousand times ew.

I know that the cleaning ladies (who don't clean our rooms, by the way--just the landings and the kitchens) all have skeleton keys, and so do the maintenance men. I suppose one of them had to go and...just decided to use my bathroom? And apparently I should feel relieved that while they do not flush, they do seem to wash their hands?

No, I'm just grossed out. Seriously, seriously grossed out. After yesterday's trapped in my room incident, Trinity College is certainly not winning any love from me.

I'm...really not sure what I should do about this. Is there anything? I don't think so.

Yuck. Yuck x 1 bagillion.

I say ewwwww. John agrees. *points to icon*

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm glad to have John Sheppard on my side. (Because really, you do not want him against you.)

JF makes fabulous skeeved faces, too. *g*

[wychwood]

Did they fix your door-handle? That's the really important question *g*

(Not fun, having people in your places while you're not there. But I am jealous of your bathroom-having-ness!)

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

They did fix my door handle. Yesterday. This was totally unrelated. But such a fun sequel, don't you think?

I am lucky to have an ensuite bathroom. But part of the shininess of that is that it's supposed to be, you know, mine.

*growls* *flails* *goes to make tea*

[maeritrae.livejournal.com]

EW.

Screw building work, report it at once. Sure, they probably won't do anything, but that's not really the kind of thing you can just let pass.

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Who do I report it to? The Accommodations Office? They won't care. They didn't care about my door being broken until I got physically stuck in here.

[/bitter and cynical]

[cincodemaygirl.livejournal.com]

I think you should report it to someone, somewhere? Campus housing department, if that's where you live, or landlord/super type thing?

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

I'm on campus. I just...I know they won't care? And I'll feel like an idiot going, "But it was gross! Do you not care about the issue of grossness?"

I think I'll just rail ineffectually at LJ instead. *headdesk*

[20thcenturyvole.livejournal.com]

*boggles*

Um. Ick?

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

That's about right. WTF, world?

[of-evangeline.livejournal.com]

I would report it, because you don't want them making a habit of leaving you...treasures...in the toilet...EEW.

I wish I had a sadface!John icon. :(

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, my sadface!John icon pwns all other sadface!John icons in the WORLD!

*icon pride*

I probably should report it. The question is: am I so lazy that I'm just not going to bother to walk all the way over there?

[slodwick.livejournal.com]

I think you're right that it might not do any good, but I still think you should report it, so that there's something official, on record, in the event anything more serious takes place in the future. You can show a continuing problem on behalf of the college/staff/whathaveyou.

Also, EW. I'm sorry, doll. *pets*

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

I just...I can't come up with a way to report it without sounding ridiculous. "My toilet was violated! Help!"

*growls in the direction of the Accommodations Office*

[soupytwist.livejournal.com]

Man, I feel the pain. I never had anything as gross as that, but in my first year the cleaning lady would move my stuff seemingly randomly (like, not just to get a clear surface to clean or whatever) and just that was really creepy. Urgh.

And I totally recommend reporting it. They probably won't do much, but they will have to write it down somewhere, and then if it becomes more of a thing (either for you or anyone else), there's evidence. Which, y'know, will hopefully not be necessary or anything, since it's probably just a random one-off thing that is just icky rather than anything else, but it's probably worth not risking it.

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Grr, yes. I know it's wrong to have hate on for the cleaning lady, because her job can't be easy, but seriously--must she take my clean dishes off the drying rack and shove them under the sink? Where they get dirty again? Right away?

Also, what's with the loud, off-key singing? It's 7 a.m.!

*cough* I don't have issues at all...

[wychwood]

AHAHA
*votes for this scheme*

[randomeliza.livejournal.com]

Ew. I'd TOTALLY be complaining. That's just ridiculous.

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

DEATHMATCH!

Anger vs. Apathy! GO!

[souliesoul.livejournal.com]

Eew. Do talk to the people who deal with campus housing about it though.

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Trin: *whines* Does that mean I have to go out again?
Laziness: *cackles* Ah-ha! I have conquered another one!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Oh, baby. Um, ew. Yeah, really, EW. Is the door knob fixed at least?

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Yeah, my door knob was finally fixed yesterday after they realized that if there was a fire and I DIED, they could get their asses sued. But that means that this didn't have anything to do with that, as that problem was taken care of yesterday.

It's just one fun treat after another! *sigh* At least I have tea.

[dizzyditz.livejournal.com]

That is so freakin nasty. I forgeteth: does your door have a lock? If not, perhaps you could request one from the oh-so-efficent Trinity staff? Unless they are responsible in the first place...*shudders*

Honestly, who doesn't flush toilets? It isn't that hard people.

[neery.livejournal.com]

Okay, maybe I'm just really weird and possessive about my personal space and the sanctitiy of my bathroom and no one being allowed to enter my territory without permission, but this is deeply, deeply creepy. I mean, I've had a robber break into my hotel room and steal money out of my bedside drawer while I was sleeping, and this feels way creepier.

There's a person you don't know who has the key to enter your home anytime, and obviously no respect of your personal space! Someone should care. And do something.

[farwing.livejournal.com]

That is deeply creepy. Ikkkk. *kicks the bathroom invader in the head*

[everysecondtues.livejournal.com]

"Ew" and "Creepy" are vying in my mind for which best describes that. Just . . . it boggles the mind.

[maribouquet.livejournal.com]

Eww. I think that in order to make sure that your toilet/soap/sanctuary is not violated again, you should start leaving tampons out. Make a little protective Stonehenge of maxipads around your commode. That will keep the workmen away!

[siria]

OMG. EW. ONCE MORE I AM DRIVEN TO APOLOGISE ON BEHALF OF MY COUNTRY. WITH CAPS LOCK. REPORT THE FUCKERS.

[siria]

Also also! (This time with no abuse of caps!) Are you still on for going to the book sale this morning? Because I am going to submit the Dreaded Diss, and then it's Retail Therapy For Yay.
