Has anyone else noticed that the girls’ bathroom at the intersection of the A and B hallways on the top level has been out of order for weeks?

The female students certainly have. It has become the most inconvenient thing this whole year. I cannot tell you how many times I have been late to class because I walked to that bathroom door expecting it to open and it didn’t.

You’d think that I could just go downstairs to the mid-level A/B hall intersection and use that bathroom. That would be faster than going all the way to the C and D hallway intersection, right? WRONG! The first time I tried this I got stuck on the staircase behind a couple who decided they needed to make out in the middle of the staircase.

So going down isn’t an option because no one knows how to use a staircase and going to the other side of the school is too much. Either way, I’m now late.

And if anyone doesn’t want to be late, it means missing a significant chunk of class by getting a pass to go halfway around the building.

This matter needs urgent attention.  Just ask any girl who has class upstairs in the A or B hallways.

Update: The bathroom was fixed within 24 hours of this article being posted.  Thank you so much MCPS and Watkins Mill for your swift attention to this matter.
