Wow. Talk about your embarrassing moments. Has anyone walked into the other gender's restroom by mistake? I just walked into the women's restroom at work. I was in a hurry and mistook the sign on the door for one of those men/women signs, meaning it's available to either gender and you just lock the door after yourself. I walked in, noticed there were not any urinals, and that should have tipped me off, but like I say, I was in a hurry, and I probably was not all that awake. I thought, hmm, strange, and entered a stall. Just then it started to dawn on me, especially when the person in the next stall flushed, then walked from her stall with a definite clacking of women's high heels. I froze. I hadn't unzipped or anything. I just stood there with my hand frozen on the inside of the door. The woman on the other side of the door must have known, because she paused a lonnngg time before washing her hands. Then another long pause before the air dryer came on. Then another long pause. Meanwhile, I noticed there was a container for used tampons. Then I noticed that she was sort of peering from the sink area to the crack in my door. I should have just walked out and said, "God, I'm so embarrassed, I'm sorry," but I didn't I just stood there frozen. Finally she left and I rushed out of there and down the hallway. With any luck, there's not an APB out on me.
