10 Ways to Clear a Bathroom »

SM Shrake

Don’t you hate being forced to use public bathrooms? It’s twenty f*cking ten (20f*cking10), can we finally be given some human dignity instead of being asked to just expose ourselves like animals? Stalls are for cattle, not people. Whose idea were group bathrooms? Some perverted Nazi architect’s?
