The Bathroom Tyrant
I have lunch at a different period every day. It makes it tough for my appetite to stay on a schedule, but the bright side is that it means that I don't always have lunch 6th period, which is the same period as the Bathroom Tyrant.
I guess the name "Bathroom Tyrant" is slightly misleading because she doesn't really make an attempt to rule over the bathroom. Instead she just takes every 6th period to camp out in the staff bathroom. Sometimes I can beat her in there and get done before she comes in, but most of the time I just resign myself to waiting until later that afternoon to go.
Now, when I say she camps out in there, I mean it. She spends the entire period in there. While I don't need to be completely alone to go, her insistence on using that room for the entire 45 minutes is so weird that I just can't do it. It would be like peeing in someone's living room. It's her space.
Now, in the past I figured that she was just slow and would finish up her task and eventually leave, so I just waited in the stall. That's how I found out that she treats the bathroom as her own personal lounge. She does different things in there. One time she washed off and and completely re-applied her makeup. Another time she went to the bathroom, washed her hands, and then sat down on the little couch we have in there and began grading papers. If I were a student I'd feel very weird if I knew my paper had been graded in a bathroom. Today I walked in and saw her doing her hair. And I don't mean just whipping it out of a ponytail and putting it back up like I do sometimes...I mean she had a hair dryer and a flatiron going. I just checked my makeup in the mirror, trying to act casual, and then left. Curse that woman!
Now, I don't know why she's claimed the bathroom when we have two staff lounges and each department has a lounge as well. I mean, there's only one staff bathroom.
Man. Things like this bother me.

Weird. When I'm on your site on my laptop, your pic and archive links are at the top. But when I look at your site at my second job, on a bigger monitor, your pic and archive links are at the bottom.
But anyway... at first I thought that this woman was hiding out in the bathroom, like she didn't want to talk to anybody. But yeah, I guess she just likes it in there! Maybe she was a bathroom attendant in a previous life. The schools I go to have a lot of staff bathrooms, but they are just single-stall.
I couldn't imagine walking in there and seeing someone flat-ironing their hair!
