Grad Students

Why are grad students so weird?

 

I want you to think really hard about what just happened to me and realize that this is the SECOND time this has happened to me!!

 

I get free seltzer at work.  I probably refill my 24 oz tumbler 3 times a day.  Sometimes I get caught up in work related stuff that forces me to hold the end result of that for a little longer than I had planned.  When I am finally free to attend to the business of relieving myself, I can sometimes be in a bit of a hurry.  Today, for the second time in 3 or 4 weeks, I rushed into the bathroom.  A bathroom that was dark.  The lights turn on automatically due to motion sensors.  I am rapidly unzipping my fly and reaching for my man hood as I walk around the corner to step up to the urinal.  Keep in mind this is all happening within about a pace and a half.  Just as I turn the corner - with everything prepared to spring into action - I realize there is ALREADY A GRAD STUDENT STANDING AT THE URINAL!! 

 

Now think about this for a second.  I walked into a DARK bathroom.  How long was that guy standing there that the motion detector no longer DETECTED him??  And WTF was he doing at a URINAL for that amount of time??  And why has this happened to me TWICE now??

 

Sure.  I accept a small portion of the responsibility for ALMOST peeing on a grad student.  But come on.  I was in a hurry and what man in his right mind would expect to see someone standing at a urinal in a dark room with a motion detector?

 

Freaking nuts.

That's creepy. He almost got pissed on. Literally.

Just because his body wasn't moving for the motion sensor, doesn't mean his hand was.

This is my nightmare.
