Wow they have really solid and secure bathrooms in France. It’s called “take a nail file and push the door latch in.”

The general rule is 3 weeks or so.

General rules:

3 minutes without air

3 days without water

3 weeks without food (less activity, may increase this)

Three weeks in a bathroom... and it still probably never occurred to her to take a shower.

Well, the one good thing- anyone considering remodeling their unit knows they don’t have to get permission first.

If that were me and it was an apartment I would have plugged the tub and flooded the place before the end of day 3.
