I liked the location

The toilet was broken. The bathrooms and showers are unisex and all in one room. I am a woman and while I was showering, a man came in and did the smelliest number two i’ve ever smelt in my life, I couldn’t even breathe. The worst thing about the situation is the toilet was broken so the smell stayed. My roommate got back home at like 2am and woke me up then was playing music all night so I couldn’t sleep.
