Embarrassing Moment

I know I haven't posted anything for awhile, so here's a little something to tide you over until I make it through the current "busy spell".

Today at work, I went to use the bathroom. As I tugged on the toilet paper, only about 1 tattered square was left. In a panic, I checked the other two stalls for feet (to make sure I was alone) and listened with my cat-like hearing senses for doors closing or noisy footsteps outside the bathroom. When I felt the coast was clear, I booked it outta that stall and into the next (don't worry, I flushed first) only to reach for the toilet paper and see that it was totally out in that stall too. Panicked because I had escaped embarrassing consequences of running to a different stall in half of my birthday suit on, my heart started racing as I planned my next move. I quickly darted (well as quickly as you can with your pants around your ankles) to the last stall. Praying that I not only wouldn't be caught, but also that there weren't any security cameras in the general area of the bathroom, I slammed the door shut and found an empty roll of toilet paper under a half full roll of toilet paper. Whew! Dogded a bullet on that one. Just as I had finished and was walking out of the stall, a lady came into the bathroom. Talk about timing!!!! Lucky me, not to be caught! I hope you all had a chuckle at my embarrassment-defying experience, and that you all have a great day! I bet you will all check you stalls for toilet paper for the rest of the week! I know I will!!

I love it! Did you tell the lady that came in where the toilet paper was? I'm glad for you that no one came in, but that would have made the story even funnier! haha

Just a tiny little part of me (So so so tiny) wishes someone would have walked in as you ran from one stall to the next!! I'm glad there was toilet paper in at least one of the stalls.

Okay, so were your pants really down? I can totally picture it. Ha, ha, ha. You should take your cell phone to the bathroom and if that happens again you can give me a call. I would be up in a jiffy to take care of the problem. : )
