Soup comments on Libaries

I went to the bathroom in a library once and I felt real weird about it but I doubt anyone really even noticed.

Alright since apparently this needs clarifying for a few people: I felt weird because in society today we don’t get to use the washroom in places without being customers. This made me feel weird about using the washroom at a library, but the people there likely didn’t even care.

Unless you were being weird about it, nobody would notice you feeling weird about it.

I feel like that's within the scope of what a library is meant for, community support.

It's nuts that people are expected to just not go to the bathroom. If you can't find one and go outside, then you're "indecent". Capitalists literally want you to pay them or shit yourself.

A lot of places (in Canada) you absolutely can use the washroom without being a customer. Even if they have a policy, they may get too many customers to notice or just not care.

A lot of places people won’t care too too much, but it’s the fact that we have this shit as a legal rule in the first place that’s the problem.
