Always Lock the Door

This is an oldie but a goodie. I am bringing it back to 9th grade. For all you Glee fans out there I used to go to Showchoir camp every summer and I LOVED it. I would even cry at the end of it every year because I loved it so much and did not want to leave.

It was in Tiffin, Ohio and I lived in upstate New York so it was quite a trek. I took a 16 hour train ride to Ohio with my friends and my choir instructor. At the time I had a weird problem with going to the bathroom on anything moving like planes or trains. So 16 hours was a long time to go without using the restroom. I was mostly scared of someone walking in on me. One year I could not make it to the end of the ride. I HAD to go. So I ran to the nearest bathroom on the train, closed the door, and started doing my business. About 3 seconds into usage an old man flings the door open and walks in. There I am…mid-pee….looking at him and screaming! He continues to stand there and yell at me that I should learn how to lock the door! Who keeps standing there? It is already awkward to begin with when you walk in on someone using the restroom….but how could he have the nerve to stand there and yell at me. He finally left and I finished my business and left rosy cheeked. Let me just say, I have NEVER used the bathroom on a train since.
