SC1 : woman who I caught washing her face
SC2 : her friend
Too many homeless people take "baths" in our library's bathroom. I see a woman with a yellow purse walk in the bathroom. I hear water running. I see other women come in and out. I am releaved more than 5 min. after the lady went into the bathoom. So I go to the elevator (which is in front of the women's bathroom)and wait for the elevator to go up. And I wait. and wait. I still hear water running the women's bathroom so I go put my books down and go inside to see what's happening. I see sc1 at the basin, washing her face. It didn't have soap on it, but I see her splashing water on her face, and she has a clothe towel next to her.
Me: you can't bathe in here.
sc1: I'm not bathing!
me: I see you washing your face.
sc1 :I'm not batheting, I have OCD!
sc2 comes out of a stall
sc2: she's not batheing.
me: well you can't wash your face in the bathrooms, that counts as batheing.
sc1 : *screaming* I'm not batheing!
I go to the desk and tell cw that I found someone batheing in the bathroom, should I call security. CW was waffling; she didn't want to get involved.
I start to call security while standing in front of the bathroom. The two women get out. Seeing them outside the bathroom, I decide to not call security.
SC1: I was not batheing (she is now more calm)
me: I'm just letting you know that you can't bathe.
elevator shows up, going up. I get on and and the two scs get on. Of course, being idiots, they dont' see it's going up
sc2: we took a shower this morning, we dont' need to take a bath.
me: I'm not a mind reader, I don't know that you took a bath, I just see her washing her face.
sc1: I wasn't batheing.
I get to my floor and get off, the two keep on arguing with me. When I'm still in ear-shot but not in front of the elevator, they start blarbing on about librarians and their problems.
If the water wasn't running for 5 min. I wouldn't have cared that she was splashing water on her face. But again, too many people use this place to clean themselves up.
