Most people at work are used to shutting the lights off as they leave the bathroom.  I do this too.  Save energy.  Besides, it’s not like there are THAT many people that use the women’s restroom anyway.

Today, I was using the restroom in the last stall (the large one of course) and someone was using the stall next to me.  They were done, they left, and they shut off the lights.  My yells of HELLO…failed.  So, it was pitch black.  And my eyes adjust slowly.  So it was horrible because I couldn’t see jack.  Good thing, I was done anyway.  I was trying to flush the toilet and managed to do so.  But then I couldn’t find the door out of the stall.  I stuck my arms out trying to find the door and realized I was facing the completely wrong way as I was by the wall not the door.  Finally I made my way to the door and went out.  I still couldn’t see anything.  You see, the restroom is not that big, so it’s not like there is a a lot of space to move around.  I could see the crack to the light outside but the path from the stall to the door is not straight.  I stumbled around to try to not crash into the sinks and I managed to crash into the trashcan and the wall before I found the lights so I could wash my hands.

It was so not fun.  Darkness.  But slightly amusing.  It would have been amusing to watch if you had some night vision ability.
