_**[Which Restroom Dilemma](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WhichRestroomDilemma?ref=eldraeverse.com):**_ While not a scheduled or even listed trope for today, in response to recent annoying news from one of the galaxy’s unenlightened backwaters, the&nbsp;_Core Worlds Committee for the Promulgation of Social Virtue and Elegance (CWCPSVE)_ wishes to inform everyone that in&nbsp;_civilized_ parts of the galaxy, all excretoria are serially private, personal facilities. (And so intrinsically unisex, inasmuch as designed for use by a single sophont concurrently.)

Only _outworld_&nbsp;_savages_ dump their entropic residues in company, don’t you know?

Makes me wonder what they do when forced to spend time among such sensibility-offending, dirt-scratching barbarians.
