Could you *PLEASE* refrain from peeing all over the floor?

Finally decided on the topics for all my term papers. Yay! These papers might be the very last research papers that I will write in my entire life. *Sniffle* (They tend not to assign big research papers in clown/law school). Anyway, my topics are:

1. Assimilation and marginalization: the Korean minority living in Japan, during the Asia Pacific War.
2. Resolving differences betweeen Marxism and Islam: the writings and teachings of Ali Shari`ati.
3. Explaining and applying Gramscian concepts of hegemony and consensus on the relationship between international organizations/regimes and lesser developed countries (LDC).

Now I just have to finish up on the research and start the writing...

Anyway, the other day, I was doing my research at the library when nature called my name. I walked into the nearest washroom. What did I find? A river of urine on the floor that was serving as some kind of a defensive moat between the urinals and the rest of the washroom. Oh joy! How lovely!

Asides from actually walking/stepping on this yellow puddle, there was no way you could use either urinals. Alternative options? Well, I checked for feet and could see that both stalls were being used (surprise, surprise). Now, normally if this happened I would probably just go to a different washroom on another floor and that would be the end of it. But this time, I feel like I need to make a personal rant.

So to the individual who did this, I'd like to point out the fact that we are at a university library! This is not some back alley or your own bedroom! Don't you have a sense of decency? *Sigh*

We claim to be one of the leading institutions in Canada...which only leads me to question: what kind of people are we admitting to our schools? Although I don't have much respect for my school, that doesn't mean I would pee all over the floors of our library!

I mean, seriously, there is absolutely no excuse for peeing on the floor! For crying out loud, it's not like a skill you just learned yesterday! Most people at our library must have had AT LEAST eighteen years of practice. And we've done it at least once a day, for every day of our lives! Besides, a urinal is pretty wide, so it's not like you exactly need laser guided precision. But still...for the love of God and all things holy on this blessed earth, learn how to aim!

And don't tell me you couldn't "hold" it. First of all, it shouldn't come to this. Don't "hold" it until you're about to burst! If you're really having bladder control problems, use adult diapers or go to the washroom more often. Second of all, you made it to the washroom. Heck, you were two feet away from the urinals! Don't give up now! That's like stopping right before the finish line! You're were so close...yet so far away.

Argh! Is there hope for humanity?
