Petty Annoyances

So, I got talked to today...for leaving my towel in the bathroom. Am I right to be irritated over this? I mean...who in the world actually cares? Half the time I wear my towel back to my room and end up slinging it over the closet bar. Apparently, someone else complained about it. I'm trying to figure out how in the world I get into these situations. I mean, aren't these people supposed to be adults? Why do they care if I leave my wet shampoo bottle in a shower that they only use once or twice a week? I have to frigging live here, it's not that great and it's downright spooky at night. If I have to put up with that, then surely someone unknown tech can deal with me leaving stuff in the bathroom.

Yeesh, I'm annoyed out of proportion about this. I didn't appreciate being pulled into a private exam room, in front of my attending, whom I just met, to be told that I can't leave my stuff in the bathroom.

The really...confounding...part is that they can take time to track me down (and I know the lady that pulled me aside comes from another building) about this crap, but can't be bothered to fix the leak in the roof. I emptied out two filled to the brim basins of water last Friday. Which, incidently, are leaking through the roof, the second floor ceiling, the first floor ceiling and into the carpet in the first floor. Obviously, it's important that we keep the bathroom clear of pesky towels, but not so important that we keep the roof, second and first floors from rotting through from persistance water damage. If we get mold, I will be very irritated. I reported this the second day I got here.

Maybe I'm just not friendly enough and don't get the benefit of the doubt or something. Who knows, I'm still feeling annoyed over it. In a passive agressive move, I am leaving the shampoo bottles there. Take that anal-retentive radiology person.
