And Still More Bathroom Antics

bathroom, bathroom antics, rock garden

The fun never stops around here, folks. People are up to their good old fashioned bizarre bathroom behavior again. After my last class, I discovered that someone had pulled a butterfly off of the wall and put it in the rock garden, then placed one of the rocks on the candle. Sure, why not? They also managed to get blue paint all over the sink and the bathroom floor, which was pretty interesting since we weren’t using blue paint. Still scratching my head on that one. Was able to clean most of it up.

I’m calling this installation art and have titled it “Death of a Butterfly, or Why I’ll Never Have Children.”

More Bathroom Antics

bathroom, bathroom antics, shutthedoorwhenyoupee

For my long time readers, you’ll no doubt recall that the public has chosen to do some weirdass shit in the studio bathroom. A couple nights ago, we got to add this little doozy to the list. Sorry, no pics this time, but you’ll understand why in a second:

A couple came in and chose their seats, then asked where the restroom was. Both headed back to our one room, unisex bathroom and went in together. They came out a few moments later and proceeded to get wasted during class. At one point, my husband went into the back room to retrieve something only to discover that the guy from the couple was peeing in the bathroom with the door open for the whole world to see.

On second thought, I kind of wish we had been able to get a picture of it.

This has been the sign for our bathroom door at the studio since we opened almost 5 years ago. Fuck HB2. It’s a unisex bathroom. Whether your gay, straight, male, female, transgender, whatever, we don’t care. All we care about is that you don’t smear poop on the walls or clog the toilet with platypuses. Thank and you can go about your business in peace now.

Master Bathroom Makeover

I realized yesterday that back when I was posting all the photos from renovating my house this summer (pics here, here, here, here, and here), that I never posted pics of the master bath. I’d still like to frame out the mirrors, and I ran out of steam before I got to the bathroom, so I haven’t yet scraped and painted the popcorn ceilings, but the rest I’m happy with. I painted the walls and cabinets, and added faux wainscotting. Pretty simple, really. Here’s the before and after:

Cat Intervention

Tonight, the cats sat me down for an intervention.

Satch: We need to talk. We’re worried about you.

Dizzy: Yes, you shouldn’t let S go away for this many days in a row again. Ever. Again.

Satch: First, you repainted the bathroom that you had just painted about a month ago. Then, you wouldn’t stop playing “let’s see how many things we can stack on the cat.” We all laughed the first 8 times, but honestly, it’s getting old.

Dizzy: Then we witnessed you doing laundry…FOR FUN!

Satch: <shuddering> And tonight, we watched you discover that the bamboo flooring is both slippery and will not give you splinters, and thus the reenactments of the Risky Business dance scene commenced. Enough.

Dizzy: ENOUGH! Why don’t you just make yourself useful and cook us up a nice fish filet? Or scratch this spot right behind my ear that’s been driving me crazy?

Satch: Stop it! He didn’t say to try to stack more things on him! You’re out of control. I’m breaking out the bourbon.

Discarded Underpants

bathroom, panties, sip and paint studio, underpants, underwear

I almost forgot to tell you! In keeping with the strange and wonderful things that happen in our studio bathroom, I give you this: On Thursday night, someone threw their underpants away in our bathroom trashcan. They were just floatin’ around on top of a bunch of paper towels with the trash lid up so all the world could revel in their discarded glory. Because why wouldn’t you throw your underwear away in such a manner? I felt so bad for them, I wrote them a haiku:

undies cast aside

without hope or love or thought

towels now as friends

And then another haiku:

undies showing off

pink hearts amidst the towels

landfill, here they come

And then one more:

undies in our trash

someone’s going commando

I need some bourbon

Bathroom Antics ‘R’ Us

You guys would not believe the shit that goes down in the bathroom at my art studio. It’s a coed bathroom without a stall. Bitchez be drinkin’ and bitchez be actin’ all craycray. Here is a breakdown of what has happened so far over the last 3 years:

Of course, we discover revolting things all the time in there: people missing the toilet and having diarrhea all over the wall, same scenario with vomit, and countless clogged toilets, which led to us having to put up a sign:

Toilet sign

There’s the usual misuse of toilet paper that you find in many public restrooms:

Bathroom 12-13-13

Bathroom 3-20-13_compressed Bathroom 5-3-13_compressed Bathroom 8-16-13 Bathroom 9-13-14

Then there are the things that make you really scratch your head, like the couple that disappeared into the restroom together twice, but not quite long enough for hanky panky. And then there were the two girls who went into the restroom together, took a crap, and came out without flushing. Again, there is no stall in there. Then there was the time we found white powder and a tiny memory card beside the toilet. Or the time someone poured what we can only hope was water into the rock garden on the toilet tank. Or the time I came in to discover what appeared to be remnants of a rat having chewed through the toilet paper still on the roll:

I didn't have time to snap a photo of the actual thing, but here's a drawing of it for your viewing pleasure.

And my favorite: the time someone rearranged the caddy in the bathroom:

We went from this, which hides the air freshener and the plunger...

We went from this, which hides the air freshener and the plunger…

...to this, which hides nothing.

…to this, which hides nothing.

Plus, the city made us install this reduced pressure zone backflow thingy, which bubbles up every time we wash brushes or hands or anything else:

Bathroom 12-15-14

It was a hideous monstrosity, so I decorated it like this:

Bathroom 8-6-14

‘Cause that’s how we roll.
