Bathroom Battles: Can You Really Reserve a Shared Bathroom?

Our storyteller shares a college room with an old friend and only has one bathroom between them. The problem? The roommate is incredibly lazy and hogs the bathroom for hours, even going as far as to “reserve” it for specific times. Despite being understanding, our storyteller is fed up with waiting around for the bathroom to be free, especially when the roommate doesn’t even use it during his “reserved” time. So, they’ve implemented a 10-minute rule, using the bathroom anyway if the roommate doesn’t show up. But is this fair? We’ve gathered the top responses from the internet to see what people think about this bathroom battle!
