Goooood morning!
I hope everyone is doing FANTASTIC on this lovely Monday morning! Today I'm going to write about something that happens sooo often, it blows my mind. I'm sure we've all expirienced it, and its either sent us into a moment of rage, or a moment of absolute horror. That moment, my friends, is when you're in the restroom, the door is locked, and someone STILL tries to get in.
Seriously what is that about? It starts slowly. Someone playing with the handle, followed by a knock, followed by: "Is someone in there???" then you yell "YES!!! Someones in here!!!" But they cant really hear you, so they fiddle with the door again. SO IRRITATING. I mean, what is it with these people? This is clearly a private room, the door is locked. Why is their first assumption that it's an accident? In their teeny, tiny heads someone left the light on and locked the door on the way OUT, and now its somehow their responsiblity get in? This isnt a rescue mission, no one cried for help, you're not gonna save a life when you get in. Theres actually a great possibility you might ruin one. I just dont understand the logic. Why, when a door to a restroom is locked, would anyone assume that there isnt someone in there? I'm the complete opposite. The restroom could be empty, light off, door unlocked, and I'm STILL not walking in without a knock, a yell, and then VERY SLOWLY, every so slightly, nudging the door just to ensure that I dont walk in on someone.
Basically, when you fiddle with the door and find it locked, and continue to fiddle, you're basically making the entire lock system obsalete arent you? In that action, you're saying "there is no use for a lock, and doors should never be locked." Because, if you had any respect for the door, or the lock, you'd see it locked and wait your turn! I mean the emotions that go through your head. Its so frustrating when this happens at church, because really I'd like nothing more than to scream at the top of my lungs "HEY IDIOT, THERES OBVIOUSLY SOMEONE IN HERE!!!" Not to mention the sheer panic that goes through your body about how horribly this whole thing could end if this moron at the door is successful in their quest to break down this "barrier" that society has put between them and your bowel movement! It'll be a few minutes, just wait your turn.
Bottom line, the lock is there for a reason. Respect it.
