2. Psst....
They have other food besides beans down in the cafetria....

The Fabreeze works great, but smoke a lot of pot,,,,

that usually takes away a lot of the smell

6. How much vinegar
I've heard about vinegar absorbing smells..it won't make the room smell too "vinegar-y"..will it?..though vinegar is an improvement over...bathroom smell..

10. Oh, the joys of college life. I remember them well......
...I lived one year in a dorm, and after that, said never again. From then on out, I lived in apartments. Good luck, and forget about privacy.

15. I have a farm with a lot of livestock
If you get desperate, there is a product called PDZ. It comes in a large bag and that shit kills any odor out there. And I mean any odor.

Just throw a bunch of it around the bathroom floor and let the cleaning staff weep in the morning. At least you will get one good odor-free night for sure....
