Embarrassing, Weird, Awkward and Toilet: On the can

On the can

By Mortified - 31/03/2020 14:00

Today, I was using the bathroom at Costco when a janitor forced my door open so she could mop, then didn't bother to close it again. Apparently, the handicapped stall was too big for her to see me sitting in the corner, and I had to awkwardly squat-walk all the way to the door to close it. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I decided to use the disabled toilet in work to get a little extra privacy while I did my business. The cleaners who unlocked the door from the outside and barged in on me were nice and waited until I finished to apologize and explain there were complaints the door had been locked for days. FML

Today, as I was using the public restroom in the mall, someone decided to slam the stall door next to mine. This resulted in my stall door opening while I was still on the toilet. The door was too far for me to reach. FML

Today, I really had to pee so I took the only stall that was available in the bathroom: the handicapped stall. A girl in a wheelchair came in seconds later and cursed at me for taking her designated spot. FML

Weirdo

Today, I went to the bathroom in a mall. As I was in the stall, a woman tried to open it. I yelled out that's it was occupied but she kept shaking it to open it. It came up to the point where she had to crawl under the door to see that I was there. FML

Today, I went in the one-person bathroom at work to pee. Next thing I know, a woman forced the locked door open and walked in on me, because she didn't believe another person who said, "I think someone is in there." I'm reluctant to use that bathroom in the future. FML

Today, I walked into the ladies' bathroom to find my male boss taking a dump with the stall door wide open. FML

Today, I had to use the bathroom really badly in a drug store. After I did a #2, just as I realized the handle on the toilet was broken, a knock came at the door. I tried fixing it for ten minutes, before slipping out the door, to come face to face with two employees coming to fix the toilet. FML

Today, while at work, I went to unlock the washroom for a customer. Normally we don't allow customers to use the staff washrooms, so I was as surprised as the guy I found sitting on the toilet when I opened the door. FML

HELP!

By ToiletTony - 19/06/2009 01:33 - United States

Today, I was using the bathroom in a department store. When I was finished, I couldn't get the stall door open. I'm claustrophobic and I freaked out and started shouting for help. A 6 year-old boy got the door open for me. It turns out I was pushing when I should have been pulling. FML

Today, I had to use the restroom while at work. I had the choice of the stall with a broken lock, or the stall with a huge crack in the partition wall. Not two minutes after I sat down, I noticed someone peeking in. FML

Handicapped stall and you can squat-walk? YDI

First, not everyone who needs to use a handicapped stall is in a wheelchair. Second, many stalls are too tiny for average sized people to get in and close the door without moving awkwardly because whoever built it wanted to save money, a larger person wouldn’t even be able to fit into the door of some stalls.

First handicapped stalls are designed to accommodate wheelchair users because they can't fit in another stall. There is no reason for someone with a different condition to use them. Second, if you can squat-walk you are not too fat to use a regular toilet. Arrogance is not a disability.

"Apparently, the handicapped stall was too big for her to see me sitting in the corner" YDI for not SAYING saying when she tried the door. "Excuse me, occupied!" is all it would have took to avoid this.

I have worked in the cleaning business. get that person fired. they are not suppose to do that. as a cleaner you can call out in the bathroom from entrance if anyone is in there. or you put a closed for cleaning sign and wait for all to finish up before proceeding to clean. another fail safe trick I used was to crouch down after no replies come out. to see feet.
