Bathroom humour

(September 19th, 2005 - 9:56PM)

So I went to the bathroom at work today. I know, not the most interesting way to begin a story, but bear with me.

In the office where I work, there are several businesses on the same floor. The bathrooms are in a common area and are shared with the other businesses. Both the men's and women's bathrooms are one-person only, so if there's someone else in there you have to wait. A key is required to get into the bathrooms.

I grabbed our office bathroom key (a blue floppy disk with a key attached to it) and headed out into the common area. I noticed that there was a key already in the lock, which is usually a sign that someone's already in the bathroom. However, the bathroom door said "vacant" on it, so I wasn't sure.

I walked up to the door and knocked. From the inside of the one-person bathroom, I heard a man yell, "Come in!"

Thanks buddy, but if it's all the same to you, I'll just wait outside.
