Man, I’ll be right back.

Characters: David Walkerton, Joyce Brown
Location: Joyce and Walky's apartment
I remember those days in a one-bathroom apartment.
Our twins are gettin’ potty trained and suddenly I’m like, oh no, our humans outnumber our bathrooms again.

One-bathroom apartments were the darkest (pre-pandemic) times, so much so when we house-hunted I immediately rejected listings for only one bathroom
SAME. I wanted at least 1.5 baths. Two toilets are a must.
My bathrooms:humans ratio is 1.5:1, but the half-bath only ever gets used as a broom closet. If I use it, that’s just something else to clean. The key is to remember to run the sink and flush once in a while so the traps don’t dry out.
[Off-key] Aaalll byyy myyyyseeeeelllllfffff
Heh. See, we have three bathrooms and two people. The bathroom that never gets used is the one between our two guest rooms… except this weekend, when we had a guest in it. The bathroom that’s NOT directly off our bedroom gets use because it’s not a flight of stairs away from where we spend all our time.
Hubs will go downstairs to use the bathroom, then come back upstairs, I guess bc the fan in that one is stronger?
He who hesitates is lost. Additionally, as Joyce is female, she’s going to spend about 150% of the time it would have taken Walky to do her business. Plus another 33% or so for every time Walky says: “Are you done yet?”
2 bathrooms or I’m out
Are y’all really that hard up for bathrooms in life? I grew up in a house with four people and only one bathroom. Granted the only female was my mother, but somehow we all managed to get by without killing each other or being forced to squat in the yard or something.
Say that after you live with someone who takes half an hour at a stretch to do the thing
Pre-pandemic, post-pandemic, either or
Yeah, this is definitely where I came in. I’d been reading Shortpacked for a while, and I thought “Hey, I should check out that other thing this guy does.”
I don’t know why this one in particular (and its sequel, which I guess runs tomorrow) stuck in my mind, but it did.
