Gardner, 3rd Floor

Howdy followers,

I apologize for the long drought of posts. UNCPooper has been doing a lot of work on our new site. Check it out: https://sites.google.com/site/uncpooper/

Anyway, if you haven't come across the ghost town that is Gardner Hall, check it out if you are in the search of privacy. First off, never have I witnessed so many coat hooks in one restroom. When winter time comes and you are clothed to the neck in sweaters and jackets, these hooks will serve your need while taking care of business.

Gardner Hall doesn't really show love to the males on the campus. The first floor bathroom had a lock put on it and it became a faculty men's room. Your tuition expenses likely paid for the lock and therefore, your exclusion, but I get off topic. For this reason, Gardner Hall is not the go to for the casual bathroom user. The random choice to travel to the third floor of Gardner comes with the promise of privacy, silence, and serenity. The bathroom setup is pretty classic with the marble-like stall walls, thick wooden doors, and the oddly shaped urinals that look like inclined toilet bowls without seats.

So if you ever find yourself traveling from the center of campus to Franklin or vice-versa and you need to take care of business, trek to Gardner to insure a interruption-free pit stop.

Chapman Hall 1st Floor

I hesitate to mention this secretion sanctuary due to its sparse traffic, despite its key location for many a chem class, but here goes: 1st Floor, Chapman Hall. I often hear the rhetorical question: does a bear shit in the woods? Well it wouldn’t, say I, had it this magnificent cavern depository. Located in a nook by the stairwell, most who come through large lectures in Chapman are unaware of its existence, deferring instead to the 2nd floor’s vastly inferior 3-staller. With no windows, a constant ambient temperature of 25 Celcius and incredible soundproof insulation from the classes next door, not only will you have a fabulous time taking a growler, but you may just be inclined to curl up on the spotless floor and hibernate post-poop. Truly one of UNC’s unheralded treasures.

Phillips Hall, 2nd Floor, East Side

Greetings fellow poopers! UNCPooper is here with a summertime restroom review. Today's will be focusing on the east side of the second floor of Phillips Hall, home of the Department of Physics and Astronomy.

Quick info on Phillips Hall: It was built in 1920 as the School of Applied Science, or in other words, to concentrate the hatred of all things math-related into one building. However, Phillips wasn't the building UNC-Chapel Hill wanted to build. During the construction, the construction company realized that they were actually constructing a building ordered by another university and building their desired blue prints at UNC-CH. In other words, the shittiness of Phillips' layout isn't UNC-CH's fault (thanks to UNC Virtual Tour for the info).

Now, on to the bathroom. Just like the rest of Phillips, this restroom isn't exactly the best when compared to the newer parts of the University. The first thing patrons will notice is the weird entry way to the restroom. There is actually two doors you must pass through in order to do your business, contrasting against the traditional one. I suppose this little room randomly selects people and forces them to do physics problems in order to take a dump, but then again, I could be bullshitting.

From inside: The Vestibule of Worthiness

Once you Indiana Jones those shenanigans, what you discover a pair of extremely mediocre toilet stalls and two of the most suggestive urinals I've seen on campus.

Built for men who love wide-set vags and golden showers

Also, in the spirit of science I suppose, you can find some kind of hybrid trashcan / proton accelerator daftly hidden under the right sink designed to run the aforementioned death trap in the damn broom closet you just walked through.

Or it's a 1.21 jiggawatt flux capaciting nuclear blowjob dispenser

Overall, this is a very, very average pooping experience. In the mornings before class, the foot traffic is fairly heavy. It's even worse considering if you're going for #1: you gotta deal with the guy next to you in addition to people using the sinks behind you, all able (and possibly willing) to look at your junk. However, there is fair UNC-1 connectivity from the stalls, perfect for checking ESPN with your device of choice.

Greenlaw, 3rd Floor

If you are planning on taking your business to Greenlaw, avoid the first floor restroom. There is only one stall and this can possibly create a pressure situation if a line develops outside the stall. Plus, the door to this restroom is always propped open so if your stomach is on the downside, you may be advertising your activities to the multitude of people outside waiting for the next class to start.

Climb the stairs to the third floor. The bathroom is pretty old school. The all white bathroom has develop a yellow hue overtime - you might call it disgusting, I consider it a distinguished look. The handicap stall is even straight out of the 70s - no extra room like today's handi-stalls, just some really archaic, cool-looking set of handrails. The bathroom probably made its first appearance in the mental hospital of the 1975 film, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. If you aren't sold yet, there are some coat hooks as soon as you walk in - mad cozy.

Disease on Public Toilet Seats?!

We at UNCPooper have done some extensive research about possibly contracting disease from public toilet seats. For those of you "non-nesters", you might want to check out these articles to see if you are putting yourself at risk.

Dey Hall, 1st Floor

You might want to go ahead and consider this restroom your clutch business spot. This bathroom is always clean, well supplied, and its spaciousness is complemented by a window that lets just enough sunlight in to make your personal time a bit brighter. It does not carry much flair so I wouldn't recommend cheating on your usual spot for this bathroom's personality. However if you are in a bind, this restroom offers a central location and a lot of privacy. If you enter from Dey Hall's main entrance, you will have to go down one flight of stairs. This bathroom also helps you avoid the line that develops outside the one toilet unit located on the main (2nd) floor. This restroom offers two stalls, multiple urinals, and several hand washing stations (so no awkward waiting in line to wash your hands). Keep this one in the holster and you will never go wrong.
