| Back Off! This Is My Stall.... |
When did it become de rigueur to barge into, or attempt to rush into, a public toilet or stall without first ascertaining its availability? No knocking, no query -- simply a hard twist of the knob or pull of a handle.
Think about this.
There you are, going about your business, and suddenly there's a yank on your door. Do you cringe like I do, in fear that you'll be exposed, in a most humiliating manner, to a stranger's gaze -- or worse, a roomful of strangers? Do you then feel rage and wish for a trapdoor to open beneath the rudesby, dropping him/her into a cesspool set aside especially for such uncivilized people?
I think all such transgressors should be forced nude in the public... on the other hand, they'd probably enjoy it. :-P |

I've never found any Americans on my doors! ;)
-
Ah! You have no idea how fortunate you are then, Fuff! :-)
But I'm not bitter, oh no! I quite enjoy living in abject fear every time I visit the loo! :-/
-
This is why boat life rocks. You can pooh in the water -as is - and nobody is the wiser. Unless they are snorkling.
Oh noooooooooooo! Word verification. Lose it. Lose it now. It's sooo Malvolio.

"Poo in the Water"
I think if I had a band, I'd name it "Poo in the Water"
-
Hmmm... Poo in the Water. Sounds like an old english village - like Haye-on-the-Wye or Stratford-Upon-Avon...
*shrug*
-
Oh, yuck, archidi (what shall I call you? archidi, owenwilson, maria?)!
Poo in the water? Blech, been there, done that, and never wish to experience it again! :-P
And don't forget the poor fishies and mammals and crustaceans, etc, in the poo'd and pee'd waters. ;-)
Sorry to disappoint. Like Malvolio, I'm of a surly bent, though not near as cadaverous, and have delusions of grandeur. :-O
The word verification is a small stab at keeping a barrier between me and a poster who might be up to no good. It's not great, but I wager no one visiting my blog with evil intent will bother to key in those perplexing letter combinations. :-)
Doc, I think you should start a band with that name right away! I'd even listen. ;-)
Kate, I think you have a point, although I hesitate to think how such a village might smell and whether it wouldn't just disappear entirely after visitors steadily declined through the years because of its name and earning a living became near nonexistent...

Buddy, this is one of the reasons I am thankful that I am a chick not a chap. Have you tried carrying a taser gun to stun them into submission ? Just a thought.
-
Hi, mummified! You're back! Did SC wear you down with his requests for more posts? ;-)
As for tasering... ah, if only! You know a place I can get them cheap and on the sly? ;-D I assure you I'd enjoy shocking those rude people!
As for being the chap bit, sorry, I'm a chick, too. Well, an aged chick, lol. :-D
-
How ruuude! Out here in the relative oblivion of the U.S. Mountain Time Zone - somewhat sparsely occupied by humans, more so by prairie dogs, wabbits, raptors, and right wingnuts - I haven't experienced that. Yet. If it's a trend it will eventually get here too.
I wonder if some of those attempted incursions were foiled attempts to steal your bag. By someone not tall enough to just reach over the door and grab at the handle of anything hanging on the door hook.
What a nasty suspicious b***h I am this morning.
-
Lol, Suz. :-)
I don't think these attempted incursions were an attempt to steal my bag. For one, I carry a knapsack and it's always kept well away from roaming fingers. For another, many of these attempts on my door have been in restrooms that are either just the room (1 stall, sink, locked door), or the doors to the stalls reach from floor to near ceiling or all the way up. Basically, you can't tell anyone is inside, but then that's the whole point of knocking, isn't?
Grrr! ;-)
-
Hooray! No more WV. Feel the freedom. Unfettered commenting is a rarity today. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
-
LOL. Comment moderation and verification are a drag but you'll be to blame when the spam arrives..
-
Thank you, Fuff and OW!
I can feel the surge of mass spammers arriving any moment now... or not. ;-)
-
Bless you tea and books for your kind words. Sorry about the gender confusion. My mistake. Will add more words to mummified soon
-
Hooray, mummified! I will keep checking for new posts! :-D
And no worries on the gender confusion; very hard to tell on a medium such as this. :-)
