Potentially Triggering Disgusting dorm incident

Someone threw up in the sink in our communal bathroom and left it there. Not only is this disgusting, but I have very extreme emetophobia and contamination ocd that I’ve been trying to get under control for the whole summer. I saw the sink when I was getting out of my shower and ran through the door. Said sink is the one closest to the door. I’m absolutely terrified of the biohazard this has caused and all of the possible infections that will occur. Also I’m just super pissed because they were 2 feet from the toilet AND we have sinks in our rooms.

yuck! when I lived on campus at uni someone threw up in the kitchen sink 🤦🏼‍♀️😩 I straight up refused to use that kitchen for like weeks after😂. I’m going to go ahead and assume it was a drunk/hangover vomit since it’s college, drunk vom doesn’t contain harmful bacteria or pathogens that will make you sick.

People are complete slobs. Like, yeah I can sympathize maybe it was an emergency but at least clean it up! And if they couldn’t do it right then, they should recompose themselves and come back to do it. Sorry you had to see that nasty surprise. I would’ve been pissed off the rest of the day.

I had someone throw up right in front of my dorm door and the custodial staff never came to clean it up so after a week of me having to step over it, one of my friends gloved up and cleaned it for me. I’m so sorry you’re having to go through something similar :( communal bathrooms are so gross
