Stop throwing chewing gum in the jacks

    In the past couple of years (i.e. since modularisation, when other faculties have started using the Eng building) there's been an increase in the number of urinals in the men's jacks blocked by chewing gum. It makes the building stink, so I'd appreciate it if our arts/science/etc friends didn't throw chewing gum into the urinals - there's a bin in the jacks too for your use!

    Look - I'm sorry okay.

    It's just that every time I take out my penis to urinate I become awed at its epic length and girth and my jaw literally drops causing my chewing gum to fall out.

    In future I will try not to look at its stunning beauty when I'm taking out (with both hands).

    It would take a lot of chewing gum to plug a toilet....are you sure you just aren't eating too much fibre?

    I saw the good dean with a box of wrigleys running around one of the arts jacks the other day...

    haha nice I was gonna say the same!:D
    Surely if this was a major problem they would place little Gum boxes around the place to you pop your gum in and it gets recycled :D:D;)

    The jax in the atrs block has the same problem also. It was grand until an increasing number of engineers started having lectures in theatre L. Bloody engineers, they trash their own bog and now their ruining everyone else's.

    The Arts block is only for passing through en route to more useful parts of the Campus.

    ha ha... why hasn't this thread been locked. I'm tempted to start a "please stop farting in my pint" thread.

    In fairness, the Arts block does get dumped on by people. I'd say 50% of the people in it have no reason to be there- hell if I was cruising around and needed to answer the call of nature, get a bite to eat or just sit down, do some photocopying or whatever, chances are I'd do it in the Arts block. It does get swamped with non-Arts sorts, but I'd imagine it sorts itself out considering the Arts lads only show up from time to time anyways.

    It's not our fault the powers-that-be-mad have scheduled some Engineering lectures in fArts this semester. If you think we're displeased, you should see the lecturers struggling to use the facilities.

    You can't blame us for the toilets, though - I think we have more sense than to use those unless the need is dire. :eek:

    I hate people who throw their gum into the jacks too... it loses it's flavour and tastes salty after you fish it out.

    Why would engineers be in Theatre L? They've never used it nor had the numbers to.

    RUBBISH

    Firstly for us to fill theatre L you'd have to put every single engineer in their from all the years

    Secondly, no engineer in their right mind would you the filthy excuse that arts students use to call their "bathrooms" instead of going to engineering.

    Actually... :o after a couple of quick visits,I have to say that I quite like the toilets on the Arts block ground floor. Plenty of urinals, and they don't have the design problem that the rest of UCD's toilets have. After you wash your hands, you don't have to grab a dirty tap to turn the water off, dry your hands, then grab a dirty handle to open the door. In that Arts block toilet, you can wash and dry your hands without touching anything afterwards.

    Now, if only people would stop throwing chewing gum in the urinals. Someone's got to pick it out - please, be considerate of your fellow Arts graduates. :p

    I have it on good faith that our esteemed leader personally defiles both Arts and Eng toilets every morning before breakfast ;)

    re the "dirty handle" problem, it's not just me: the Wall Street Journal is on the case, too... :o
