We’ve all had the feeling. You’re sitting in class and all the sudden, it hits you. You have to use the bathroom. But then you realize how disturbing they are.
“I hate using the school bathrooms,” junior Courtney Terrell said. “They’re disgusting.”
The seats are gross and there’s hardly ever any toilet paper in the stalls.
“I’ve gone into a stall and before I could realize there was no toilet paper, it was a little too late,” Terrell said. “I felt so awkward reaching under and asking the person in the next stall for some.”
The girls’ main hall bathroom seems to have been broken ever since Terrell can remember.
“I remember the first week of freshman year,” Terrell said. “I walked in and the second to last stall had water every where. A lot of times when I use the main hall bathroom, it still has water all over the floor.”
You would think after using such a dirty rest room, you’d enjoy washing your hands and returning to class clean, but how is that possible when there isn’t anything to wash your hands with?
“There’s been several times where I’ve gone to wash my hands and there wasn’t even any soap in the dispenser,” Terrell said. “Just rinsing off your hands doesn’t really help the thought of all the germs you just had to touch and now leave on your hands.”
The floors are flooded, the toilets are disgusting, and there’s a major lack of toiletries. Our bathrooms aren’t necessarily a place of choice here at Rider High School.
“Sometimes I try to just wait until school is out to get home and use the rest room,” Terrell said. “That’s how bad they gross me out.”
