Friday - The Ladies Room
Dec. 16th, 2005 11:18 amThe woman on the door to the Lady's Restroom on my floor has lost her head. Every time I pass by her, this makes me sad. I've felt that way so many times myself.
Her head was only a black dot with no neck to secure it to her body. All that is left of her is her upside-down triangle of a body and her arms and legs underneath the word "Women."
I keep thinking that maybe I could take a marker and draw her a new head, but it would look odd. The rest of her would be 1/8th of an inch thick raised plastic, with a flat head drawn above it. As a woman myself, I know that this would make her feel out of sorts and uncoordinated.
Her counterpart on the sign for the Men's restroom has his head floating confidently over his rectangle of a body. I've considered stealing the Men's room guy's dot and pasting it over her body, but it seems sort of Frankensteinish to give her a male dot when she is a female. It wouldn't make a difference from her previous appearance; the dots are identical. But it might make her think differently, to have a male dot for a head. On the other hand, it might make the male dot think differently to look down and see that he now had a woman's body. I think it might alarm them both.
I've also considered going up to the 9th floor and stealing the dot from their Women's room. I've never liked them, anyway. I've always suspected that they come down and use our restroom on the days that they aren't feeling so well and I resent them for this. Let their Woman's room be the one missing its head. The women of the 9th floor are vile and nasty; they deserve to have their restroom decapitated. My goodness, how much trouble could it be anyway to stick around for a few seconds and make sure you have flushed thoroughly?
That decides it - off with their head!
