Today, I was in a restroom, reading this site, when another gentleman walked in. He washed his hands, dried them, nodded at me, then left. It wouldn't ordinarily be so weird, except I was in a one-person restroom. FML

Today, my cat looked like it was about to puke, so I put it outside. Unhappy with the situation, it leaped on to the kitchen window ledge and squeezed in through the open window, only to projectile vomit mid-leap all over the kitchen counter. I found a hairball in the butter. FML

#51 you miss the point. Take it and go, don't sit and mess around online. It's a 1 person stall, maybe in a busy place...besides OP didn't reference he was doing anything when the guy walked in, so more evidence to him just sitting there plugging away on his phone
