BATHROOM ODDITIES

if you are wondering what today's entry's inspiration was, check out the following journal:

http://journals.aol.com/dornbrau/DUSTBUNNYCLUBOFNORTHAMERICA

this entry brings about something that happened recently at work.

i always get to work early so that i might use the little girls' room, comb my hair and straighten up a bit, as well as catch my breath before i start my night of toil.  one day, as i sat upon the throne, someone came into the stall next to mine.  now, this is a woman's restroom, not a unisex restroom.  i glanced down at the shoes and noticed that they were pointed TOWARD the toilet, like a man does when he uses the facilities.  i was a bit worried.  then, i heard unzipping, pulling down, and splatter.  i was so shocked, i hurried up and finished, came out of my stall, started to wash my hands, in hopes to see the person come out of the stall and see whether it was male or female.

was i ever shocked when the door opened.............not only was it a woman, it was someone i knew, casually.  she lived in the same neighborhood as i did about 15 years ago.  her mother was a neighbor as well.  i smiled a very difficult smile and said hello.  she spoke back.  i was shaken the rest of the day.  my mind still conjurs up the sight of those feet turned toward the toilet when i go into the stall from time to time.

is this a common practice among some women????  it may explain where the um, log came from in dorn's journal entry.

ok, i am returning you to your regualarly scheduled journaling...................

OK, now that was freaky.  One must ask...was she close enough for gravity to do its thing, or was there some aiming involved due to the distance?  If it is the latter, then apparently some things have changed since you knew her years ago.  It may just be a case of not wanting to touch the toilet...I have known plenty of creative people that have found ways of avoiding contact.
