It amuses me when adults need permission to perform basic human needs because a small group will always take advantage of common courtesy and ruin it for everyone else.

When I was in grade school I pissed my pants in the library because the librarian wouldn't let me go to the bathroom. We both learned a lesson that day. I learned to seek forgiveness over permission, and she learned that sometimes kids aren't bullshitting when they say they need to use the bathroom.

We are all at the mercy of the bottom quintile.

I believe you have it reversed sir, we are at the mercy of the top 0.5% I doubt the librarian learned anything.
