Quick change

In an act that is in no way out of character for me, I accidentally walked into the men's bathroom today at Panera. I didn't even look at the sign, I just charged right in. The first thing that hit me was there was only one stall. I thought that was strange because I could have sworn that there were two last time. Then, my eyes focused on a low, weird-looking porcelain fixture. Ahh! A urinal! I literally turned and ran out of the bathroom and back into the populated restaurant. I quickly surveyed the room to see if any had observed my slip up. No one was looking at me, so I casually made my way into the next door. No harm, no foul.

I did the same thing many years ago, only at a health club. The men's locker room was much more highly trafficked and more graphic. It took me about 2 minutes to realize why my clothes weren't in my locker, and then another 3 seconds to notice I was surrounded by half-dressed men.

Maybe I should pay more attention.
