Very Good!

And one more thing to worry about more than transphobia.......no paper towels to pull the bathroom door handle after you've washed your hands! eww!

Brings back a few memories - the most irritating to me being the tedium of checking from stall to stall until finding one that has not run out of paper!

Thank you Marcie

This thread is a bit old, but I just happened to open it and watch the video. Yes, very funny. I can certainly relate to the toilet paper issue (or absence, thereof ), an issue which has become more greatly paramount to my life.

While I don't care to dwell on things past, the video and the thread title elicited a past memory. True story....

I had just arrived at work and the ladies room was closed for cleaning. I had to go really, really bad...'twas a great emergency , so I ran into the men's restroom, and into the first stall. [Going in wasn't really that big of a deal, after all I've been going into men's rooms most of my life. Plus myi outfit was a trench coat over my usual work dress (Eddie Bauer slacks & a tailored button-front top). I lowered all the necessary garments and sat down to an unpleasantly damp experience. Reflexively, I cried out in my shock, "Who left the d*****d seat up!" Immediately, after my outcry, I remembered my location. Fortunately for my state of embarrassment, at that moment I was the sole occupant of the men's room.

BUT....The really funny part is when I came out of the restroom. A very agitated Hispanic housekeeper, who obviously spoke little to no English, was practically jumping up and down scolding me with the words, "Mujeres! Mujeres!", while gesticulating furiously at the Ladies room that she had just finished cleaning. [i assume the belted trench-coat and long blonde hair persuaded her that I had lost my way. ]

Anyway, I I apologized, "Perdoneme senora, que era una emergencia.", and quickly took an elevator up to my office.
