Daily Musing


When using the stall in a public bathroom, it’s not enough to check to make sure there’s toilet paper.  Sometimes the auxiliary dispenser is full, but the lever won’t budge—access denied to its contents.  In those cases, you sit on the throne a few minutes longer.  You wonder, “Is it too cold to walk around without socks?”

Shirt sleeves or random paper in your wallet. I have executed both in a pinch. Pun intended.

if no one else is in any of the other stalls, you can always go to a different stall. also a good reason to always have some kleenex in your pocket. you would really use your socks???

See, I think that once that lever refuses to budge, you simply throw your hands up and let it become everyone else's problem. You did what you were supposed to do: you checked. I think you just let it ride and walk around like that all day. And I think that when you get home at night you can still look at yourself in the mirror say to yourself, honsetly, "Hey. I tried to play by their rules. But they wouldn't let me."

Joe, your comment made me laugh. And then I pooped a little.

I've often had this situation. It's bad. It involves a lot of introspection as to what kind of person you really are.
