Years ago, when I was a bochur in an out-of-town yeshiva, I went with a friend of mine to someone for shabbos. Rhis guy liked reading in the bathroom, and took an inordinate amount of time. We had a dirah-like dorm with one bathroom, and this guy naturally caused other to knock on the door to get him to hurry.

So we’re there for Shabbos. We’re getting ready for bed. He uses the bathroom first. He starts reading a Reader’s Digest he found in there. Sure enough, he hears a knocking. He decides to be mean to me and comes out 45 minutes later. The problem was, it wasn’t me knocking. It was the very expectant baalabosta!
