You know how we all do things so automatically, without thinking? I was shopping with my #3 daughter today. We were in a place in town that's just a big old Victorian house, that has been converted into different shops in each room. There have been many additions through the years...but you get the idea.
Dana and I had lunch and were strolling from room to room, when nature called and I headed for the loo. I went inside and there were three stalls. The stalls were empty and there was a woman washing her hands. I went into a stall, sat down, just as the woman opened the door, SNAPPED OFF THE LIGHTS, and left. LEFT ME SITTING IN A PITCH DARK PUBLIC BATHROOM WITH MY PANTS AROUND MY ANKLES!!!
It occurred to me, that I wasn't in any distress really, I knew where I was, and had my bearings, but I was concerned about the next woman who walked into a black bathroom, with "someone inside".
So the minute someone walked in, I said, "Thank you for turning the lights back on. The woman who just left, flipped them off as she left." The gal was cute and laughed and it was all fine, but I did think about my post about hating public bathrooms.
