I have a bathroom confession.

I was at my dentist today and it was taking a bit longer so at check out (I knew I wouldn't make it home and I had to stop at the store). Well I asked the lady at the desk for the code for the bathroom, ran down and peed really fast and then I heard someone come in and they didn't go into a stall. But they were peeing in something so I thought that they were peeing in the sink. I looked between the stall door and saw to my horror men's urinals.

Yes folks, wrong bathroom. I waited till he left (yes he did wash his hands) and I dashed out. Yes I washed my hands too.


my shame it's wide and deep

one of the quirks was that I could not see the first two letters of words. I found myself in the wrong restroom several times.

one tends to overlook the finer details. Don't sweat the small stuff.

or he might have peeked at your feet to see if the stall was vacant, and been shocked when he saw the stilettos.

my parents took us on a trip to Ottawa, and my dad cluelessly went and dropped a deuce in the womans washroom in the Parliament Building. He's not the discrete type either.

I was sitting on the loo, looked beside me, and saw a slot in a container that said "Napkin Disposal". My first thought was "Whaaaat?" Then BOOM.

I was a little tipsy in a pizza parlour. I had been sitting there for a few, humming and whistling when I saw it. I stood up and looked over the stall door and to my HORROR there were no urinals on the wall. I sat back down and saw a woman's shoe under the stall wall. As quickly as I could I finished my business, got to the sink and washed up, then hightailed it out of there. When the girl at the cashier saw me leave the women's restroom I thought she'd die. I watched the door after getting back to my friends and when the woman who was sitting next to me in the bathroom walked out she looked like she'd seen a ghost.

It was at a McDonald's at about 10pm -- one of those "I'm not going to make it home" instances...

I walked out of the bathroom and this woman gave me a strange look. I'm thinking, "WTF is her problem?". I then noticed the door that said "Men" on it, and that was not the bathroom I had just walked out of.

Whoops!

Our building has men's and women's showers attached to the first floor restrooms. For some reason (I am assuming the architect was drunk) the women's shower entrance is actually in the women's restroom but the men's shower is adjacent to the men's restroom and its' entrance is in the common, public hallway.

So I meant to go into the men's room but wasn't paying attention (probably reading email on my phone or something equally dumb) and went into the men's showers. Should be no problem right? Wrong. I walked in on several ladies who were getting ready to undress and take showers - They screamed and I freaked and jumped back out the door and looked to make sure I was at least in a men's area and i was! But apparently the women's showers were down for repair and these ladies were using the men's but forgot to lock the door.

I didn't see anything, none were undressed - but if I had been 2 minutes later I would most likely have gotten an eye full.

And I wouldn't have felt a bit guilty about it either! Lock your damn door if you're in the wrong room!

Some of those ladies still laugh about the time I almost...
