How can such a small space be creepy and avoided by everybody? A public area, that anybody can use, yet it is so disgusting that nobody wants to. I even avoid it at all costs, I will walk a minute or two just to avoid the closest one. The inside has two doors, one that leads from the outside into a small walkway. From the small walkway, another door that leads into the room. The lights flicker, as if they don’t want to stay on, already casting a dimly lit glow. The colors that once used to be white, are now stained a cream color. Inside, the hardwater that has sat for days, maybe weeks, creating a rust circle at the bottom that will never go away. The bugs that line the windowsill and sometimes where the soap lays. This place creates a small fear, that while you are in there, anybody could walk in. Most people try to avoid this place, the few who use it would be the ones who don’t live in Dimmitt and don’t have a key to another one or guests that aren’t actually supposed to be there. Others that use it tend to be people who want alone time or who would like to go in peace and not have to worry about the smell. Nobody is going to come in right away after you, so why worry? The Dimmitt lobby bathrooms are like a bathroom at a very cheap motel, where you only stay for one night and really hope you don’t have to go pee.
