‘Prissy potty puddles’ on the Yale Law School list-serv

Toilet.jpgThere are moments in life when one is confronted with the inconsideration of others and can be moved to despise one’s fellow man — e.g., when stepping in discarded bubble gum, or passing through an exhaled cloud of smoke while jogging.

One Yale Law School student had a moment like this in the ladies’ restroom, and she has blasted the student list-serv urging greater consideration in the future.

Here is an excerpt:

Dear Prissy Chicks of YLS,

WHY do you squat over the toilet seat and splatter it with pee instead of just sitting on it like everybody else — or at least cleaning up after yourself? I just went to the ladies room downstairs by the ATM and two of those friggin toilets were liberally spritzed, thanks to your selfish carelessness. Consider:

1. Yes, toilet seats at our school come into contact with the asses and thighs of many many people. But your ass and thighs are not alone in this world!!! Would it kill you to put your naked buttcheeks on the toilet seat, anyway? It’s not like you’re going to be eating off them! By squatting above the toilet seat and cattily spraying everywhere, you force sensible women to deal with your uric carnage. You either make that toilet unusable, or make the braver women wipe off your peepee…

You might not want to sit on the toilet seat, but *nobody* wants their bum and thighs to be dampened by your prissy potty puddles.

The hazard of being a female. There have been many replies to this, reproduced after the jump. We wanted to highlight this comment, scoring a point for Harvard in the YLS / HLS debate:

You’d think a school with the resources of YLS could tend to its most basic sanitation requirements. (Harvard provides free tampons in the women’s restrooms, and perhaps their toilets function, as well.)

Full angry e-mail — with detailed instructions on bathroom use, and myriad replies — after the jump.

We understand the student’s anger. Sitting on a wet toilet seat is truly disgusting.

Here is the whole glorious string of e-mails:


YLS LIST-SERV E-MAIL STRING

From: [Redacted]

Subject: [TheWall] Prissy YLS Women

Dear Prissy Chicks of YLS,

WHY do you squat over the toilet seat and splatter it with pee instead of just
sitting on it like everybody else - or at least cleaning up after yourself? I
just went to the ladies room downstairs by the ATM and two of those friggin
toilets were liberally spritzed, thanks to your selfish carelessness. Consider:

1. Yes, toilet seats at our school come into contact with the asses and thighs
of many many people. But your ass and thighs are not alone in this world!!!
Would it kill you to put your naked buttcheeks on the toilet seat, anyway? It’s
not like you’re going to be eating off them! By squatting above the toilet seat
and cattily spraying everywhere, you force sensible women to deal with your
uric carnage. You either make that toilet unusable, or make the braver women
wipe off your peepee.

2. There are solutions to this problem that do not involve forcing others to
deal with your yellow droplets all over the toilet seat:

a)Sit on the toilet seat like a grownup.

b)If there are no toilet seat covers, construct a makeshift one out of toilet
paper. This should appeal to your excessively prissy nature without forcing you
to directly sit your prissy tushie on the toilet seat.

c)If none of the above work, make a huge wad of TP after you’ve splattered on
the toilet and wipe it off. Your hand will not come into contact with the
peesplatter, which, I might add, came out of you in the first place. Even if it
does, you can wash your hands right afterward.

3. And what is wrong with your bladder that it splurts and splishes everywhere
like that? You might want to get that looked at.

You might not want to sit on the toilet seat, but *nobody* wants their bum and
thighs to be dampened by your prissy potty puddles.

Really now,
[Redacted]

:) You definitely have a way with words and your comments I am sure are well taken. I would say 99.9% of the female students (including myself) appreciate that you sent out this e-mail. I will point out, however, that the specific bathrooms you are speaking of do not require keytag access and so are the only ones accessible to non-YLS students, especially undergrads who have class in the auditorium. I recommend somehow getting your message across to them as well.

Respectfully yours,
[redacted] :)

I, for one, did not appreciate your vulgar comments. I find them
incorrect, repulsive and completely inappropriate for The Wall. The
toilets downstairs— and increasingly in other public places— simply
don’t flush well. Once a person flushes (after having sat on the seat
like a civilized public restroom user) the force of the vacuum
splashes the toilet water onto the seat.

I’d also like to note that those who do hover tend to be pretty
accurate— and in the event of misses, most women are respectful
enough to wipe the seat clean before exiting.

I don’t consider myself an expert in toilets (though I’ve spent an
embarrassing amount of time observing and complaining about this
problem), but I think virtually any woman using public restrooms on a
regular basis should have noticed this.

I respectfully request your observe some decorum on this public forum
in the future.
Thank you,
[redacted]

As much as I do not like to fall into the trap of the public - private
spheres, that is, as if certain issues must be kept in private, especially
when relating to women and god forbid, their bodies, I do think that the
original email was quite offensive. It is not offensive because it deals
with women’s bodies in the public sphere. It is offensive because it is
quite pornographic and invasive to my private sphere of both my body and
email account. As much as women’s bodies are not an embarrassing secret that
should be confined into the domains of “clinicalities”, these graphic and
pornographic expressions do nothing but mocking us as women.

I can verify that the true culprit is spitting toilets, as I was recently spattered with drops rebounded at least two feet in the air from the toilet bowl during flushing. Even if it’s just water, that’s unpleasant.

Incidentally, YLS has a history of maintenance problems in the women’s restrooms. In contrast to the overly forceful flushers downstairs, one of the toilets in the upstairs bathroom is a feeble flusher, never quite managing to dispose of the toilet tissue. The pile-ups that result can’t be pleasant for whoever has to clean those things at the end of the day. I have also complained numerous times about the ridiculous 30 cent exact-change-only tampon dispensers that eat your money and leave you sanitary-productless (with all of them sometimes being jammed at once). The sign on the wall - “call this # if machine not working” - should be an indicator of the frequency/magnitude of the problem (as if women trying to use that machine are in a position to wait 24 hours and come back the next day).

You’d think a school with the resources of YLS could tend to its most basic sanitation requirements. (Harvard provides free tampons in the women’s restrooms, and perhaps their toilets function, as well.) I do think that this is a topic that can be discussed on The Wall, and I don’t necessarily find humor an inappropriate way to broach the subject.

Frankly, if the water from the toilet splashes onto the seat after you flush, the respectful thing to do is to wipe it off with toilet paper, not criticize others who raise relevant and important (if not the most pleasant) issues on the Wall that, for obvious reasons, have not and cannot easily be addressed otherwise.

Agreed. Until you’ve suffered the indignity of standing in a bathroom stall when your procedure professor (love him though you do) has kept you thirty minutes past the end of class and you really “have to go,” and you’re standing their crossing your legs in a long line of women waiting to use the stalls, and you finally reach the promised land but it’s covered in urine/water/whatever-it-is-it’s-gross and have to suffer the indignity of acting like you’re the person before you’s mother and clean up after them, YOU DON’T FEEL MY PAIN. But I bet Bill Clinton would.

Or are you seeking to marginalize those with bathroom complaints who use pornographic words like “tushie”?

It’s a communal space. We delete emails about Thai food, we delete emails about working for Obama, we delete emails about translating into French and Spanish. As long as no one uses the wall for actually harmful purposes (discrimination, personal attacks, etc.) and the commentary conceivably concerns the YLS community or some portion thereof, click “delete.”

Wow, the Wall has finally jumped the shark… As someone who has to worry about feminine products, I agree with Larry.

This email was vulgar and also pointless because (1) publicly chastising these women who are supposedly peeing on the toilets is unlikely to deter their behavior; and (2) Dean Mike, Dean Sharon & Co. are unlikely to repair the toilets or provide tampons in response to an email on the Wall that they probably don’t read. If you have a complaint about the overly forceful flushers or the lack of tampons, why not take it to someone who can address the problem?

Thank you,

I'm starting to wonder whether the costs of ATL are starting to outweigh the benefits. Take this example, where it is highly unlikely that the person who originally sent out this E-mail, or the other people who replied to this E-mail, ever thought that their private communications would be viewed by literally millions of people.

ATL is very useful (no need to explain why), however, I'd just like to point out that ATL has immense power to take even the most insignificant comment (see above) and make it into news.

In my opinion, when ATL features tangentially related legal news (such as this story), ATL is more harmful than helpful.

I think the cliche "With great power comes great responsibility" is something that ATL needs to keep in mind before it posts news stories which could harm innocent (i.e. private and non attention seeking) people.

Most bathroom facilities have an amazing new invention - disposable seat covers. This great product ensures that one's ass never comes into contact with the seat.

This was a huge problem at Columbia Law School as well, and I am shocked that, even after all the listserv discussion, not one person hit upon the obvious solution. Lift the seat!!!!! How is it that dozens of women intelligent enough to get into Yale and Columbia haven't figured out that toilet seats lift! Put some tp in your hand, use it to lift the seat, squat and let loose, use your foot to drop the lid and then to flush. Problem solved!

Guys have figured out how to lift toilet seats so they don't pee all over the seat. Why is that women can't do the same? I've been doing this for years so I don't get yeast, crabs, or whatever other awful diseases you filthy people are carting around. Get a clue, girls!

One of my fondest memories of Harvard Law School was the raging controversy over having women's bathrooms in the older buildings. Yes back in the day women had to traipse to another building 200 yards away. And today, yes, some of the guys still don't get it whether in law firm management, law school faculty, or the highest echelons of government.

I agree that the culprit is most likely the toilet itself. In the men's rooms at NYU, the toilets would often throw drops into the air when flushing and many would land on the seat.

The solution is the same though; just lift up the seat before you flush. Bingo-bango.

Once again, this proves that Ivy League law school students are ill-equipped for engaging in actual, fundamental life activities that are separate and distinct from preparing for one test that determines nothing other than basis of admission to a school.

Sounds like there might be The Wall Libel Lawsuit coming to a courtroom near you. Don't you dare make a comment about an YLS female without expecting WW3.

72: If you've ever been inside a women's restroom someplace like a bus station or any sports stadium, you will know that this particular brand of incompetency is by no means confined to ivy leaguers. A certain subset of women all across the nation seem to have functional retardation when it comes to not getting their pee all over the toilet seat.

I actually prefer to pee on the seat before I sit down because the ammonia kills the bacteria, plus it feels kinds good. On another note, do those automatic, rotating seat covers at some airports actually clean? or do they just spin around and come back a few butt cheeks later?

This exchange and comment 72 remind me of a joke:

Two guys are using urinals, one an HLS alum and one a Brooklyn Law alum. When finished teh Harvard alum washes hish hands with soap and water while the Brooklyn Law alum starts to leave. The Harvard alum says "At Harvard they taught us to wash our hands after using the facilities." The Brooklyn Law alum responds "At Brooklyn Law they taught us to not pee on our hands."

I can personally assure this list that the editors, in an act of witlessness, omitted the best post in this series, which I append below:

As a guy, I also have a suggestion for those whom we might as well call
"hover cracks," for like those propellered water craft of the Florida
Everglades, they hope to skim over the surface of fetid swamps with as
little contact and as much speed as humanly possible--and God Bless
Them. But why not tip up the toilet rim like a guy? Especially since you don't intend to sit down anyway. May be an idle and insensitive
observation, but I've composed this poem to help you remember:

When you've been Fissed all over for three straight hours,
you're seeing dancing dots before your eyes,
and your bladder's reached the limit of its powers,
Then race into the stall and pee like th' guys:

Just Flip the lid,
then flip the donut rim;
Make your blessed mess,
then flip it down again.

Don't shamefully indulge the silly fiction
That splooshing plumbing spread these yellow blobs;
Nor even swish away your dereliction
by frantic'ly daubing toilet paper swabs.

Choose sanity
instead of sanitation,
And practice
trans-gendered urination.
Come walk on the
wild side: pee like a guy.

This cannot be true, as Yale students (female and male) do not possess external genitalia. They excrete their waste products in gaseous form through their pores several times a day. This gas, which possesses an enchanting aroma of wood smoke, allows Yalies to identify each other in a crowd.

I smoke many a cigar outside due to the fascism practiced by others. While smoking, I am usually standing still or walking. I do not see why I need to look around before exhaling. Why can't joggers look where they are going? I think it is inconsiderate of them to run on sideWALKs.

Hehe. If the chick in the email is a 2L, then I know exactly who she is because she has complained about "prissy" girls leaving pee on seats for years. No amount of "shut the f up" has worked over the past few years. You can imagine how much fun she isn't at parties.

There is one suggestion one should add, which might seem unusual to the ladies:

94/96--How dare the majority force you to go ALL the way outside to smoke your cigar so that everybody else doesn't have to inhale the damaging smoke or spend the rest of the day smelling like burnt ass because you were inconsiderate enough to light up next to them? If it's inconsiderate to jog on a sidewalk, it's more inconsiderate to smoke anywhere but in the privacy of your own home.

You think PE on the seat is bad? Women at my T20 law school DO NOT FLUSH. It's so bad that on one floor of the law school (the floor only accessible to LR, legal clinic students, and other journals) has signs that say "Flush the Toilet" in each stall.

Harvard has Yale beat in terms of disgustingness. I lived in dorms there for the last two years, in different parts of Gropius, and toilets there were consistently not flushed, clogged, and/or (usually and) sprinkled with pee.

Of course, that pales in comparison to the time I entered a shower stall and found a used, unwrapped tampon sitting pleasantly on the only shelf in the shower.
