Partial blackouts are fun . . . . .
BE FOREWARNED, I'M TAKING THIS TOPIC INTO ROOMS SOME OF YOU WOULD PREFER I NOT ENTER . . . NAMELY THE BATHROOM . . . IF YOU'RE STILL HERE, DON'T BE UPSET LATER . . . . .
So yeah, I got to campus this morning, and found out that a grid of the school was blacked out. Thus, I couldn't buy a cup of coffee I so dearly wanted at the time (of course if I had just bought it at the place near the buses, it could've been okay . . . ah well). So, I walked past my classroom, saw that the sun was coming through the windows quite well. But, I didn't wanna go in yet - bodily issues, ya know.
So here's where it gets fun. Being that that building was blacked out and that the washrooms have no windows . . . . . hehe, yeah, people were walking past the dark, open door sadly . . . as if they had to go but couldn't because they couldn't see. Well guess what? Blind people know how to use the bathroom . . .
Without a second thought, I went right into the dark washroom. I'd been in there plenty of times before, so I knew where everything more or less was, so I found where I needed to go, and went to work in the dark. Kinda peaceful, I must say . . .
Well, go fig, my eyes adapted to the darkness, and by the time I came out I could pretty much see everything in black and white. Then things got funny . . . there was a dude finishing up at the urinals, and I guess he had just gotten in, because he came to the sound of running sink water (me) and started feeling around. He couldn't see squat! Haha! He was like, feeling around in front of a trashcan and paper towel thing.
I was nice, though, and just started going, "more to the left . . . more, more . . ." he was still feeling around, it was great. Anyway, I was extra nice, and just let him use my running sink and I went to the next one over. He left, I dried off, I left . . . and saw some sad-looking dude standing by the door, looking in.
I just came out, looked at him, and went,
"The plumbing works fine . . ." and left.
That was the main big fun of today. Other than that, I had English class outside in the sun in the rose garden on campus, and yeah. So yes, to recap:
- If electricity in a washroom is down, it doesn't mean the water stopped working.
- Know your public facilities well. It's good to know layouts by memory.
- Eyes adapt to darkness really quickly, which makes for really, REALLY entertaining times.
- People at myO HATE IT when I mention anything bathroom related. I'm quite certain I'm gonna get blasted in the comments today. Whee!
