Stuck in the bathroom

[flesheatingzombie]

You're in the bathroom taking care of business when you hear a knock at your door. Being a little backed up you choose to ignore it and whoever it is can come back later. The banging continues and while annoying, you continue with the task at hand. Seconds later the front door comes crashing down and that literally scares the sh*t right out of you. You zip up as fast as possible and take a peek out of the door when a snapping jaw barely misses your finger as you slam the door closed.

Lets say you are in the average bathroom with normal toiletries and bathroom supplies at your disposal. (I know some of you have flares and a handgun in a ziplock bag in the tank but lets pretend were in a normal house )

As far as you can tell there are at least 5, but possibly more waiting outside the door and you have no window for escape.

How do you battle them with what you have, knowing if they took down your main door the bathroom isn't going to last very long?

 If it was my bathroom door, I'd have to act fast. It is very flimsy, as most interior doors are, just mine more than most. There are typically cleaning supplies in the bathroom, so I'd hope for a mop that I could use to push the creatures away. If that were not available I'd hope for a plunger with a wooden handle. Wrapping towels a few layers thick around my arms would offer a little bit of bite protection and hopefully allow me to get out of the door and reach other parts of the house where better weapons are stored.

Hmm, good one.

My bathroom door is flimsy, too.  We live in a double-wide trailer, and have two bathrooms; a big one in the master bedroom, and a little one out by the front room.  We don't use the master bath (storage), so in addition to having a flimsy door (and walls), I wouldn't have much space, either.

Overkill, I like the towel-armor idea.  What about the shower curtain as well?  In addition to the towels protecting individual body parts, one could drape the shower curtain around, cape-style, or even cloak-style (covering the head, too).  It might, however, just be in the way, or could get caught on something, zombie grabs it, etc.  However, depending on which zombie camp you hail from, the vinyl cloak could protect you from other hazards, namely biological (flying zombie-slobber, blood, etc. ).

Besides the plunger handle, one could employ the shower curtain rod.  Some folks have two, one for the plastic curtain and one for the frilly lace pretty cover-up curtain.  We just have the one plain old plastic one.  The curtain rod is a bit flimsy, but if the plastic ends were taken off and the ends of the rod mashed to a point or an edge, it could be used as a stabbing weapon.  Making it so would, of course, take time, though.

Also, every bathroom has a toilet, and although I've seen plastic ones in trailers and such, most toilets are porcelain (?) and hard.  The lid to the tank would make a good, albeit short-range bludgeon.  I'm not much on bludgeoning weapons myself, for zombies, anyway, but if it's all ya got...

Also, beneath the sink is the plumbing, often PVC, but sometimes copper.  Not super-strong, but again, can be mashed into a stabbing device.  We have one of them shelf units that sit over the top of the toilet, you know?  I mean, its legs stand on the floor, but the shelves themselves kinda straddle the tank, and are above it.  Its main leg members are of surprisingly strong metal.  Maybe some potential there.

My own plan would be to wrap up in towels, per Overkill's idea, then cover up with the shower curtain, grab the tank lid, and make a mad dash out the door, try to get through and past them, to some other part of the house, or outside. 

Plans look good on paper.  Making them work in real life is a horse of a different color.

I don't, but that's a good idea!
