true confessions; how I invaded the "mens room"

[ginabee38 91]

We have had a terrible terrible ski season in the Pacific Northwest. no snow.... seriously, even in the mountains.

In January we had a pittance at Stevens pass so I got all excited and headed up after a half day of work to an afternoon of skiing. My son is an advanced snowboarder, but i am still skiing the bunny slopes so we parted ways. I have to pick up rental gear whilst he owns (thanks Mom) tuned gear just right for him.

so, I am in a huge hurry to make it to my 1 o clock lesson, and the place was pretty dead on a Thursday afternoon on a crappy snow season day so I decide to multitask, dash into the restroom whilst putting on my snow pants etc. I leaned the skis outside the stall, but was gearing up inside.

I am in there a few minutes when I get this odd feeling. Something is wrong. I look around - everything LOOKS normal. Then I realize what is missing - women's restrooms have sounds... chatty sounds. The sounds of two ladies talking, or a mom with her kids.. you hear voices. always... even on dead midweek day... somebody must walk in. I hear silence. another minute passes as I am gearing up and I start thinking.. I think I need to get out of here.

I take a deep breath, open the door.. and yup.. two guys are at the sink washing up. Out of the corner of my eye I see the urinals with a dude standing there with his back to me, thank goodness - how did I miss this obvious clue - I am in the FREAKING MENS ROOM!

It's not like I can make a quick exit.. oh no, I gotta gather up skis, poles, my gear bag, etc etc.

One of MANY nice things I can say about dudes, they don't freak out about this kind of stuff. They both had the decency to pretend I wasn't there whilst I tried to look as boylike as possible in my form fitting cold weather under armours... crap... they might have seen definately saw my profile in the mirror!

So, during my lesson I tell this story to a young woman as we ride the ski lift up and she says... I almost walked in there too.. at the last minute I saw the sign!

sheesh... see how easy it is to accidently conduct business in the "wrong room"!?!

I've done almost same thing! Luckily, the man chose not to enter after seeing my sandals under the wall of the stall...I just thought they wanted to come in for cleaning. I didn't realize I was in the men's room until I noticed the urinals as I watched my hands! My friends still love this story...it's a big joke in my group (I've also had a previous wrong bathroom moment in the past).
