Don’t shit yourself. Here’s how to get through the early morning knock. 

Whether it’s too early in the morning or you’re just pee-shy, responding to the wonderful people who help clean our dorm bathrooms can be a stressful process. Worry no more—Bwog can help you respond in the least awkward ways possible. Here are some ideas for when you hear that knock:

Informative Salutations: These responses can also work as polite greetings. This way, you can make a good impression on he who knocks.

1. Heyo bathroom alert, bathroom alert.
2. Mamma mia!
3. I’m neurodivergent.

Straightforward: These are responses that get straight to the point. They help save everyone’s time and energy.

1. I’m gonna need more time, Boss.
2. You don’t understand, I lost my lactaid.
3. Something bad is happening, and you’re not gonna like it.
4. I am committing an act of terror.

Interrogative: When in doubt, respond with a question. Get over yourself, lean into the discomfort, and start a conversation. 

1. Can I phone a friend?
2. Which halal cart do you go to because I’m gonna need to find a new one.

Philosophical: These responses are so elevated and nuanced, they might be studied in CC. 

1. Baby made uh-oh.
2. The British are coming, the British are coming.
3. We ran out of toilet paper, and I’ve been sitting here for three days.
4. My legs are asleep and I can’t get up.

Misdirection: There is only one response smart enough to ward off any further engagement. 

1. There’s a Spec meeting in here.
