Let’s [discuss something](http://www.thedenverchannel.com/den/news/stories/news-135858320020405-160411.html). I am so creeped out…

And for the record, that picture is not of the bathrooms in question. I don’t know why they included it.

That is so incredibly scary. Is that the school you go to? I’d shower in my bathingsuit and inspect the walls forevermore. In fact, I might!

The only thing that surprises me is that this didn’t happen in William’s Villiage (a dorm complex of CU). When I lived there last year I was on a predominantly girls floor. The bathroom of the conjoined double I was in bordered by thin walls and by shared air vent the girl’s shower. The floor plan of each floor was essentially the same. So every other floor or so had the potential for peeping.

That’d be my school, all right. I’ve been checking the walls every time I go anywhere _near_ the bathroom… at least they’re installing locks on every women’s bathroom today.

Definitely very scary. I don’t know what I’d do if I was in that situation.
