Have you ever walked into a ladies restroom and found a man
inside? I did and it was Monday (proving
the cliché` “you know it’s Monday when….”).
Monday morning and five cups of coffee equaled a bathroom stop @
Wal-Mart. I walked in and said “gentleman”
was using the commode as a urinal WITH the door open. I immediately thought I was having a
lyme/menopausal/alzheimer’s moment and promptly walked out and checked the sign
at the entrance…..yes it said women’s.
He was walking out about that time (after NOT washing his hands), I’m
sure I gave him a strange look as I was walking back in the door!
When I told my husband the story he said he would have
immediately told the man he was in the wrong bathroom. I replied that I didn’t want the man to whirl
around (form a mental image here) when he was startled by a woman’s voice in
the bathroom. I thought about it later
and the chances he was weird at the very least and a flasher or worse were
high. I did report it to a cashier and
she had seen a man deliberately choose a women’s bathroom the day before.
So what would you have done? Would you have screamed,
demanded he leave, or tucked tail and checked the sign like I did?
