Today a number of factors combined into what will be an awful situation for the person to use the public restroom after me.
A bit of background: my mom owns a small business, and I currently work for her. Recently we had to move out of our old location because the shopping center was being demolished. The old location was literally two blocks from home. The new one is roughly an hour's drive in traffic. Previously I'd walk up at about noon, but since I don't have a car I've been going with my mom at 8am. Ughhhh. I've decided that if I'm going to be stuck in a car for an hour, I may as well do something productive, so I bring my DS and play Pokemon on the ride to work. If I have to grind up some levels, may as well do it during the drive to work.
Today was really foggy and chilly in the morning, so we stopped at Starbucks and I got a hot chocolate. My mom also decided to take back routes to work.
This is all well and good, except for one thing: Austin neighborhoods have lots of speed bumps. Now, I don't mind normal speed bumps that go across the whole street; those are fine. But some asshole has decided all speed bumps should be three or four individual bumps with space between them. There is no good way to go over these. You can do it so one wheel goes over the bump and the other is still flat; it's uncomfortable as fuck. You can try to get both wheels on the same bump; it's uncomfortable as fuck. Very rarely you can get your wheels on two separate bumps and not go clumping around, but it usually involves swerving around the road and that wasn't a possibility this time.
So imagine an hour's worth of speed bumps while on your Gameboy. By the way, did I mention I get car sick really easily?
By the time I got to work, I was nauseated as fuck and my first stop was the bathroom. In the new location, there's a big bathroom that everyone in the building (five or six different businesses) shares, and it's nice enough, but it's still public.
As soon as I get to the toilet, I hurl. Projectile vomiting. Granted, it doesn't project very far (a few inches), but it's far enough to fuck up my aim. It hits the toilet seat, and splatters onto the wall.
Remember how I mentioned I had hot chocolate? Well, my vomit is brown and liquid. It looks like someone managed to splatter shit all over the toilet seat and onto the wall.
I cleaned up the toilet seat and what I could of the wall, but I couldn't reach all of it and I didn't want to bend over more to risk the nausea coming up again. So while it looks much better and is almost completely clean, it still looks like someone managed to shit onto the wall in certain places.
I feel really bad for the next person who uses that stall.
