History major just looking to release some pressure, likes Harvill bathrooms the best

Editor's note: This is the second of a two-part On the S-potty series where the Wildcat interviews someone doing their business in a bathroom stall.

Wildcat: Hey. My name is Arnie and you're on the S-potty. What's your major?

Bahnsen: I'm currently a history major, but I'm hoping to switch to something a little bit more high-paying.

Wildcat: Cool. So, uh ... how's it hanging?

Bahnsen: Oh, 'bout to the knees.

Wildcat: Okay ... so what brings you here? You come here often or is this your first time?

Bahnsen: Just for a relief, you know; sometimes, you know, pressure builds up and you have to go find some place to release it all.

Wildcat: So you don't mind me doing this at all?

Bahnsen: No, no it's cool, I take pictures like this all the time.

Wildcat: Do you feel weird at all?

Bahnsen: Nah, I'm pretty comfortable with it all. It's just one of those things. Everybody does it.

Wildcat: Okay, just because I've never taken pictures of anyone in the bathroom before.

Bahnsen: Well, the one you took is OK. I don't usually do full frontal.

Wildcat: Do you have a favorite bathroom on campus?

Bahnsen: Well, the art department's are a little grungy, like the Social Science building's, well, the Social Science building does not have very good bathrooms. Let me tell you though, the Harvill bathrooms, now those are some grade-A bathrooms. They're always clean, very nice.

Wildcat: What are your hobbies?

Bahnsen: Hobbies? Basketball, movies, avoiding homework, the usual. Eating, eating is a big hobby of mine, probably the biggest.

Wildcat: When you go to the bathroom, do you pee next to someone, or do you put a stall in between?

Bahnsen: For comfort's sake, I try to put a stall in between. It's a little easier on both participants that way.
