Necessity is sometimes the mother of embarrassment. I was on lunch break during a colporteuring blitz and I stopped by a McDonald's to visit the restroom. To my dismay, I discovered an "Out of Order" sign on the men's room. Beneath the bold words were the following lines: "You can use the ladies' room." Oh joy. I went and locked myself into the ladies' room. As I was washing my hands, the thing I was dreading happened.
Somebody started yanking on the locked door handle. Because the men's restroom was further down the hall, the people that would normally use the ladies' restroom would never see the "Out of Order" sign. What was this lady going to think when I unbarred the door and sauntered out? There was no escape. I flipped the latch and came out with a sheepish look on my face. Her relieved expression turned to one of mild horror.
"The men's room was out of order," I hurriedly explained.
The face once again showed relief. I quickly exited the building, trying to leave the annoying experience back with all the trans fat and other unhealthful things in McDonald's. So much for waiting for lunch break to go.

I think all us guys have had our embarressing moments concerning the ladies rest room. Sometimes its a scream that lets you know your in the wrng bathroom instead of a look of horror. Its always funny to look back on though.
That cracked me up! I like your story. I've seen signs like that; however, I was lucky enough to recieve natures call when the bathroom was available!
Oh man! How funny, amazing how things like that just happen!
haha! That's a funny one. I actually had a similar experience. A fellow adademy student was cleaning the girls' restroom in the ad building so I took the liberty of using the boys. Well, luckily it was only Corey that saw me saw me sneek out. I think he was more embarrassed then me!
Tehehe, very hilarious!
