Cavan Reagan’s comments on restroom etiquette would have been very funny if not for the disturbing fact that they are true. One would think that basic potty-training would be a prerequisite for admittance in college for the non-handicapped, but sadly that isn’t so. I made a comment to someone on the way out of the restroom about the above, intending it as a light-hearted comment to alleviate my frustration at seeing the only unoccupied stall in that restroom a mess.

I then realized I hadn’t heard him flush. Why he didn’t, I don’t know. He seemed to have all four limbs in functioning order, and could see well enough. So I must surmise that, like many far too many people on campus, he was just too lazy.

Now, as to the reason I called all of this disturbing: What does it say about “us” as a whole when our bathrooms are filthy because we are too lazy to push a small lever? That rather than exert such a tiny amount of energy we would rather have our excrement just floating around, waiting for our return.
