- Not ten minutes ago I was standing before the porcelain Urinal God,
- making my sacrifice. ABout halfway through said release, the door
- to the somewhat-small bathroom opens and a female of about 21 years
- enters, looking toward the floor.
-
- Right about this time, I finish up, replace John Thomas, and flush
- the urinal. Miss Absent_minded_engineering_student looks up and
- realizes THERE'S A GUY IN HERE! So she says to me, rather matter-of-
- factly, "Aren't you in the wrong restroom?!!??" It's just us two
- in there at this point.
-
- I had turned toward the sink at that point and replied, without
- missing a beat, "Not unless women use urinals, too!"
-
- A second or so later, the realization hits her that SHE is the one
- in the wrong place. I am finished at the sink by now, and as I start
- to leave and throw my towel away I can see that Miss Lost's face is
- beet-red. She turns to leave at that point, only to have the door
- nearly strike her as another guy walks in. The look on HIS face was
- priceless! He looked at both of us, her beet-red and me with a
- little smiling smirk on my face. His eyes then opened wide and
- before anyone could even BREATHE the guy had whirled around and left.
- By now, I am standing at the door and follow the guy out. Miss Lost
- then follows me out.
-
- What a classic little comedy of errors!
-
- What's the peeve, you might ask? There isn't one! So bite me!
-
- I suppose the fact that today is the first day of class is peevesome.
- -Bill
-
- Then there's the fact that I drove past a cat, which carefully observed
- my approach and subsequent passing before it walked out into the street.
- The students just pop off the kerb without looking. Cats smarter than
- engineering students? 'course it was by the Physics building...
