People, this one is for the ladies. So male readers, take heed... This won't be unbearable, but welcome to my personal life. So WARNING: Read at your own risk.
Set-Up: The Women's Restroom.
Scenario: I have got to pee and want a break from my cubicle.
Addtional Info: There is another lady or ladies in the restroom.
Dilemma: Shy bladder and total silence.
Another case in point that men have it easier, and sometimes I despise being female. They can just waltz into the bathroom and take care of business, or so I'm assuming. But women are more thoughtful of those around them. And there are times that I just cannot go when it is just one other person in the bathroom, and the room is dead silent. I mean, how can you go to bathroom when someone is listening. I am sorry, but I have a problem with that...
And so a stand-off comes about. I will sit there and wait until the other person leaves the restroom and/or there is enough noise to go. The funny thing is that nearly 45% of the time, the other woman is doing the same thing. It is like war. Who will give in first? Who will wimp out? Who will refuse to go and get up and leave the restroom feeling the same way they did before they entered the room? Yeah, it is stupid. Quite lame, actually. But I play this game. More times than not, I have won. But I have had my moments when I just would not or could not go.
It happened this week... a few days ago. I wanted to get out of the office, so I went to the bathroom since I semi-had to go. There was a woman on the far side of the restroom. "Grrr," I thought. I decided that I would just hang out until she left. Minutes passed, and no progress was made. Awkwardness filled the air until the point that I could not stand it anymore. So up and out I went... no relief. I lost that battle, but I will win the next one.... or get over this hang-up and just, well you know, go.
