I accidentally used the girl's bathroom and I'm sorry.

I remember it like it was only yesterday; maybe that's because it almost was.
It was late. The clamor of the nigh-incalculably-long serpent that was the Saturday Concert Line was disorienting, its fevered wall-crawling shimmy a firm lesson on How To Be Something Larger Than Yourself. I figured I'd play it safe and hit the semisanctuary of the restroom before we got to the front. We'd just walked by a women's bathroom; surely, I reasoned, this one must be the one for me.
Wrong.
Bewildered and driven to thought but undeterred by the double row of stalls, I went to work, thinking, "I am probably in the women's bathroom. How come my friends didn't say anything as I walked in here? I hope I don't get seen on my way out."
So to you, cute lady who saw me as I was washing my hands: your bathroom was immaculate and I left it the way I found it. Thanks for giggling at my jokes and being understanding. "Clean, isn't it?" And so simple.
Love and Peace,
Chris.
PS - seriously, if only the dudes could be so nice to the restrooms. (maybe it'd help if there were 3-5 times or so as many, so that the Men's Bathroom:Women's Bathroom ratio would match the Men:Women ratio -- but I digress. It was a great experience.)

Early Saturday morning
cosplaying a boy
Chest bound
Standing infront of the bathroom thinking
'which do I use?"
Then I remembered I was a girl
Someone was SERIOUSLY into their cosplay.... may want to see someone if you get confused about your gender lol
j/k
i did this once at a dave and busters. after a few drinks and some wings and a saucy burger i had to wreck a toilet. i ran toward the bathroom area where it splits into two ways. i ran into the burgundy/red bathroom, planted down on a toilet and began my symphony. it was cut short when i heard very feminine voices coming into earshot.
i wrapped it up and as a fled the bathroom at an inconspicuous brisk walk, i yelled back "i'm sorry!"
I walked up to a pair of bathrooms Lads and Lass.
I thought for a second ok they meant ladies and went into the other door without thinking about the other one.
It was a two stall bathroom and a lady just walked up to the sink looked at me with a smile.
I was like "ahh crap! I walked into the wrong restroom.. sorry. I thought the other said ladies."
She was nice and said "Yeah I've went into the wrong one before"
well she probably laughed at me when I left but that was a funny moment.
And, in your defense, it would make far too much sense to always have the womens' room on the right, or the left, but they switched it up a lot. Glad you enjoyed your trip to the other side
Well When Your chest is forced flat and you have been acting like a little boy all day your mind starts to pay tricks XD
She just gave every guy an incentive to just bogart the womens bathroom next Pax East.. quite possible even prime. :P
don't worry, i did the same thing.
The bathrooms were just WEIRD. The men/womens rooms were so far apart, you just went into the bathroom expecting the path to fork at some point. Yet it never did.
I get there and I just figure the men's bathroom would be on the left again. I charge in and my brain goes "HOLY CRAP IT IS STALLS HEAVEN I AM DELIVERED." Then I see the girl washing her hands, and the cleaning lady chatting with her, and I do a double take, turn around, to leave. I turn back just to confirm I was in the wrong bathroom(like I needed it) and was politely assured I was in the wrong place. I took one more forlorn glance at the lines of stalls and stood in line in the men's room.
So whoever was in there, so so so so so so SO SORRY!
Got 3/4ths of the way into the men's room before I saw Urinals, tilted my head a moment in confusion then wandered back out. The guys got a kick out of it.
I'm almost positive this was the case. One side of the building had Men's on the left, Women's on the right, and then it was flipped on the other side.
Late night on the concert, I was filling up my water bottle and saw a dude walk into the Women's, then promptly walk out and head into the Men's. We both had a good chuckle
If not then this exact story has happened to me (and no doubt almost everyone at some point):
Sitting in the bathroom and noticing men's sneakers in the stall next to me, then a male voice questioning his choice of bathrooms. We notice each other while washing hands, with mutual acknowledgment of the situation, and I confess I thought it was hilarious. I had just been discussing with my friends how disgusting their bathrooms are, and I liked how clean ours are in comparison. After chuckling it off we parted ways to wait in line for the Saturday night concert, and I can honestly say the entire thing put a smile on my face.
So, Chris, if this is the same encounter then you made my day by posting this, and if not then this was a very common PAX occurrence this year.
^^ This
Saturday when a sanitizer dispenser was out me and my friends were going to the bathroom just to wash our hands. Two of us blindly followed a friend into the bathroom and were momentarily confused when he immediately turned around and speed walked right back out, I turned the corner and realized in a flash why
(this now feels like the PAX version of a craigslist missed connection.)
to everyone else: glad I wasn't the only one who boofed this at some point!
I'd hope that if you were sitting on the can the connection wouldn't miss xD
(ha ha ha. I'm terrible >.>)
Go ahead, I'm in my protective cocoon of stall.*
