so this is a rant ... I stayed at a b&b and took a room with a shared bath because that was the room available.
sorry, but never again if i can help it.
NOT because of the setup which was lovely
but because the other person 'sharing' the bathroom acted like it was her bathroom. i was waiting and waiting to use the toilet, could hear water running in the sink. after 15 minutes i knocked on the door and said i was sorry but i really needed to use the bathroom. 10 minutes later she strolled out. rinsed out undies, pantyhose and a bra were strung on the shower curtain rod. room full of steam. wet floor. not a dry towel to be found, sopping wet towels piled in the shower stall. makeup all over the place. dirty sneakers and clothes piled in the corner. waste basket full of trash.
it was AWFUL.
what part of shared does she not understand?
i went downstairs to ask the innkeeper for more towels which i hid in my room. asked if a room with private bath opened up i would take it. (one didn't.) she wasn't terribly sympathetic when i tried to explain and said 'well, it's a SHARED bath after all'. i told her i understood that but that i had to wait a long time to use the toilet and was there maybe another bathroom for me just to use the facilities ... and she showed me her back. granted i didn't rant at her, and she didn't want to mediate between two guests .... but i won't go back there again.
it wasn't like a shared bath, it was as if the other guest was letting me use her bathroom. same behavior in the evening. next morning, i got up way early to shower so i could get in and out of there.
okay. end of rant. but i'm still steaming.
