Yet another flushing tale

Oct 10, 2008 16:31

So, this actually isn't a "flushing" tale, but I'm starting to think that the bathroom here at work has it in for me.

The doorknob decided to stop working when I used the restroom today and I was locked in. LOCKED IN. I knocked on the door, but I knew no one was in the back of the office (where the bathroom is). The bookkeeper was also gone and her room abuts the bathroom, so I couldn't bang on the wall. So, I thought of the closest office and hoped for the best. "SUUUUUUE!!!" Was my plea for help. I had to turn off the light to hear if there was a response (the fan it too loud and they are one and the same switch). I called to Sue again, but I heard nothing in response. A moment later I hear Marlena ask, "Is there a problem?" and I said, "Yeah. I'm locked in." She asked if I wanted her to go call for help and I said, "Could you just turn the knob and let me out?" So, she did. Then she didn't believe that I had been locked in. I told her to go in and shut the door and see for herself. She didn't trust me despite promises to let her out immediately. She did, however, check the knob and determined for herself that it was indeed broken. Seriously, would I be shouting for Sue if I hadn't been locked in? Hahaha.

So, apparently Sue didn't even hear me because she was listening to some ham radio thing with her husband. She told her husband who asked me if I was embarrassed. I said, "No. Why should I be?" at the same time Sue said, "Why would she be embarrassed?" He asked if I flushed.

Shocked that he'd ask such a question, I said, "Yeah -- I always do!" and he said that I therefore must have been embarrassed. (ba doom bah!) Harry Miles, King of Puns. He can kick any VLOer out of the water any day of the week. Why, oh why is my office next to his? Sue suggested that we form a support group. I don't think it is such a bad idea.
