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.

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!"

This is where unisexual restrooms come in handy. C:

Easiest thing to do is say "Oh this one is actually cleaner at the moment" people always want whichever bathroom is cleaner

Just ask "which one am I opening?" Let them answer and laugh together

Well, if you opened the bathroom that was the same gender as yourself then you could always just claim it was habit.

If you need a key to unlock them both I assume only one person can go in at a time. Why would it matter which one you unlocked? Both have a toilet...

That's why you lie and say the other one is being cleaned!!

I think you should unlock the women's every time, if you can't tell. Guys don't get offended that easily, and won't care as much.
