The Horror
I am still scratching my head at this one. Yesterday I saw one of the most horrific scenes of my life.
When I arrived at the University yesterday, nature called. I headed to the bathroom up from the parking ramp into the student union building. When I entered, I browsed the row of stalls until I found one unoccupied and opened it. There I faced the terrible scene.
Inside the stall was a cafeteria tray set atop the toilet paper dispensor. On the tray was a styrofoam plate with a half eaten burrito sitting in a pool of salsa accompanied by a large fountain beverage and straw. My mind filled with shock and a thousand questions: did they order their food with the expressed intent of brining it into the bathroom? Did they have the sudden realization while on the throne that, "hey! I'm eating on the toilet! What the hell am I doing?" then pull up their pants and get out of there? Are they some sort of evil genius that leaves half-eaten burrios in toilet stalls for people to wonder about?
Or, in the best of all lights: perhaps they are over protective about their food and decided to take it with them into the bathroom, but why oh why bring it all the way in the stall? And why leave it? They became disgusted with it, why not just throw it away?
And to think, we will never know the answers to any of these questions. Life can be so cruel.
