A novel moment

How to create a novel moment for yourself.

1. Head to the restrooms, distracted. Possibly reading a class handout, or a text message on your phone.

2. Enter bathroom.

3. Look up to find that (if a man) there are no urinals in said bathroom.

4. Realize slowly where you are.

5. Pass a lady entering the bathroom on your way out, smile and tip your hat.

6. Walk fast to the correct side of the world.


Enjoy your unexpected gender flummoxes,

Bp

I hope that I was a causal mechanism for this story!

Very nice, sir. Very nice.

I do believe it was your temporary live-in nanny, The Wife, that was the subject of my textiness at that moment.

Could easily have been answering questions about the difference between hedgehogs and porcupines however, easily.

In a past life I was an employee of a major software company located on a large campus in Redmond, WA (it is left as an exercise to the student to figure out which of Mr. Gates' companies this is).

My lst office was in building 41, which is across a quad from building 40. In 41, the men's room is on the left, but in 40 it is on the right. The two buildings are otherwise almost indistiguishable one from the other.

The resulting faux pas when one travels between buildings are predictable.

So, the wife leaves town and you immediately go trolling the ladies rooms?
