A couple of months ago I told you about a dangerous encounter I had in the restroom at Home Depot. Interestingly enough, I had another bizarre occurance in a restroom...this time at Wal-Mart. I had just finished some of my Christmas shopping, feeling lost, homesick, and ready to assume the fetal position after wandering the isles of Wal-Mart wondering to myself if I was the only "normal" person in the store, when I decided I'd better use the restroom before the journey home. So I parked my cart, grabbed my bag of pruchases and walked into the restroom. There was a sign next to it that grabbed my attention, "No merchandise beyond this point". I figured I'd be okay since I just bought these items and they were now mine. Anyway, as I walked into the restroom I wondered to myself, "That's weird. I wonder where all of the urinals are?" I went ahead and used a toilet, no need to shut the stall door behind me since I wasn't going to be sitting, right? Finished my business, washed my hands, and was clapping my hands (strangely something I have never done before) under the hand dryer when a lady walked around the corner and gave me a very startled look and bolted back out of the restroom. And then... the light went on in my head... that was the reason there weren't any urinals. I hollered after the lady, "Wait, maybe I'm in the wrong one!"
The moral of the story; stay vigilent out there this holiday season. Pay attention to all of the signs...not just the ones with words on them...look at the pictures of stick figures too.
