Description
I'm just going to add a bit if a TMI warning over here because it is related to bodily fluidsSit down gather 'roun! It's time to unload yet another batch of somewhat personal information about myself again!
So it's time to talk about what my biggest fear is. And no it's not related to ice cream sandwiches... I was just eating a few while making this post and decided "Meh why not make art me have one as well?" and who doesn't like ice cream sandwiches?
So among a list of my weird fears of high falls, slimy creatures, and the steering wheel popping off while I'm driving, there's one specific fear that's always on the back of my mind, where ever I go, whatever I'm doing, and it tends to be at its most bothersome when I'm in class, on public transit.
And that fear is *DRRRRRUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMM ROOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL* ............. *exhale* Not being near a bathroom. That's my biggest fear. Not just of the bucket of weird fears, but the biggest one of them all. Sure the wonders of what happens after dying scare the absolute sh- out of me, and the ghosts in my house spook the f- out of me, but those things don't constantly hover over my head every second I'm outside the house. Or even in the house. (I did touch upon this topic a bit on my Skytrain upload so what I'm talking about may be a bit familiar.
I'm someone who tends to use the restroom a bit more often than most people. So it's sort of rational to want to be near one at all times)
I try to use the restroom before I leave the house so I at least don't have to worry about it as much, during my commute to school, or the community center I (used to) do volunteer work at. However most of the time I don't need to so, it's pretty annoying when fifteen minutes after I leave the house my body's all like ".... Uh hey..... it's me....I need to". It feels like I'm being mocked by the forces out there that control the universe. It's even worse when I successfully use the restroom at home, but then for some reason my body goes "ROUND TWO!". What makes it worse is they do not have bathrooms at any of the Skytrain stations so I wither have to grt off at a random stop that's near a Tim Hortons, then by something I don't want from there, im order to go. Or wait till I get to the terminus station in downtown Vancouver. (Please Vancouver.. all I want for christmas in July is skytrain bathrooms)
This fear of me is also why I do not like road trips. This was a reoccuring problem during a road trip to California a few years ago. Especially during the portion through Portland Or to Coos Bay Or to Eureka CA. This is why I have a huge preference to flying over road trips. (Also with flying my preference is to sit in the aisle seat, for easier access to getting and going to the bathroom) Yes I would gladly choose overpriced Vancouver to Calgary one hour flight, opposed to the few days spanning rocky mountains-prairie scenic drive road trip. Cruising is the best in regards to this because if I'm not feeling very well at all I can haul up in the stateroom for as long as I want to since the bathroom is right there by the beds.
(Well until the room service person comes along) But even if I don't stay in the room there's usually a bathroom on every corner of the ship.
I don't know if it's just me but when I get stressed out the need to go becomes more serious. For example the process of applying for my college classes, or using the website in general (It's so slow and I only use it when something serious needs to be looked at) I get stressed out enough to need to go if I haven't gone in a while. While it hasn't happened yet (for some very miraculous reason) I never had to choose between potentially ruining my clothes VS throwing an exam. Especially since exams are like three to four hours of maximum pressure type of stress. ..So yeah, thank you body for not making me ruin an exam, good job.. One thing I absolutely love about college over high school is the fact professors don't require you to ask them to go to the bathroom. You can just get up and go, and they won't bat an eye! Hugh school was full of few seconds to minutes of agony, waiting for the teacher to notice you waving your hand like a broken metronome. And there's the possibility of the teacher saying no.
Okay okay if any of you seeing this are teachers, or know someone who is a teacher, please know that it's not always easy to use the bathroom during the break, and not everyone wants to risk being late to their next class after the end of the break. Just let your student go to the bathroom if they ask five minutes after the break. During breaks the bathrooms can be
A) All stalls occupied
B) A bunch of people hanging inside and making using that bathroom a very uncomfortable experience that some would, rather not use at the moment
C) Not everyone who doesn't need to go during the break is going to force themselves to go (Like I would)
D) They did go, but they have to go again
or
E) Do you want someone to soil your classroom chair?
Please techers, unless it's some big important lesson that's very crucial.... just let a student go to the bathroom. Also one others' bathroom business is none of yours..... Even if it's somehting crucial they can just ask a friend or classmate what they missed so in the end, just let them go.
And students if you need to go, but your teacher keeps saying no...... Honestly just f-ing dash out the door and go use the bathroom. It's better to face the wrath of the teacher later and, face detention or any other punishment, than lose that battle with your body in the middle of the class in front of your classmates. This also goes for being picky about using the bathrooms in school, or in public in general.
Holding it in is not good for you, so if you have the opportunity to use a bathroom, just use it.
I say this because of personal experiences, in both elementary and high school. If the teacher said no when I had to go, I just said "F- it..... YEET!" and Sonic'ed tf outta the room, and proudly faced my punishment from the teacher when I returned.
Also want to add one more thing for the teachers... enough with the "May I?" junk when a kid asks "Can I go to the bathroom" Just no....
