For your amusement....

I have a little anecdote about my morning.



Last night there must have been something wrong with a transformer
because the power went out on the entire south side of campus, which my
dorm is right in the middle of so I decided to just throw some things
in my backpack and go spend the night at my parents house.



Well this morning as I was heading back I took a large glass of iced
tea for the road, so when I got into town an hour later I really needed
to go to the bathroom and unfortunately the area I was in was mostly
office buidlings and restuarants that don't serve breakfast so aren't
open until 11. However, there was a Wal-Mart so I figured no problem
I'll just go in there. As I was passing by the bathroom I saw this old
lady in a wheel chair near the door looking...a little off, so you know
where my mind immediately jumped. Of course I like scolded myself with
a "you have no reason to think that, stop being rediculous!"



BUT, remember the "sick sense" thread? As I was about to step into the
bathroom the younger woman who was with her (and had earlier walked in
carrying a wad of paper towels) stepped out saying to someone inside
"she threw up on herself".

Of course after that there was no way I was going in the ladies room,
and I'm usually not above using the men's if necessary but there were a
lot of people around so I thought it might cause a conflict. By this
time I had to go so bad it was physically painful but I still left and
kept going until I found a gas station a couple miles down the road.



I was just thinking that it was really classical emet. Even when you
have too pee so bad you feel like your bladder is about to explode and
the next nearest bathroom is two miles away, you still refuse to set
foot in a room that someone might have vomited in. ::sigh:: [img]smileys/smilies_04.gif[/img][img]smileys/smilies_05.gif[/img]

Oh God-it's like we gravitate to these places and people. I'm glad you held on and found some place else. Makes me wanna do some Keegle(sp?) excersises just in case I am ever in that situation.

A situation only an emet would understand!

Haha don't worry, I'm
with you..I would NOT have gone in there! But I *would* have said,
"Move aside men, lady coming through!!" and gone in the Men's restroom
for the simple reason that I had a pelvic ultrasound once and know the
sheer pain of holding your 'apple juice'[img]smileys/smilies_04.gif[/img]</font>
