Today, at work, a customer asked me to unlock the restroom for them. I honestly couldn't figure out which gender they were, but I didn't want to be rude and ask, so I took a chance. I unlocked the wrong one. FML
elizabethkalyn tells us more.
Couple of things. I couldn't have unlocked both, as the doors swing shut and relock as soon as you let them go. The customer was a natural born woman who looked and sounded a lot like a male. When they asked why I opened the men's, I just told them the women's was occupied. I have never made the mistake before and it was mortifying. She luckily was very cool about it:) also, both restrooms use the same key.

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

So what gender were they?

I would have pretended I unlocked the wrong one without realizing it. Like "oh it's been a long day I wasn't even paying attention to which bathroom I was unlocking!"

unlock the gender you are so if it is wrong just say you had to go to the bathroom too.

I'm too lazy to see if anyone else said this, but there is an easy solution in that situation. Politely wave forward and say "After you". Just unlock whichever door he/she walks toward and/or stands by.

You. Could've played it off well and unlocked both if them for future reference.
