Irrational Fears

I can't be the only one who has a major issue with peeing in public restrooms.

You'd think after 3 years, I would have gotten used to peeing in the bathroom at work. Guess again. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a freak. Most of the time its fine. But today was different.

It all started this morning. I walked into the bathroom at 7:30am to complete silence. Something was wrong. I just stood there. Harsh realization #1: the loud ventilation fan was not on. It was DEAD silent. Luckily I was the only one on the 2nd floor this early in the morning, so no big deal.

Later that day, harsh realization #2: Crap, I'm pregnant, I have to use the bathroom every five minutes!!

Oh joyous of joys! Somehow I got lucky, no one ever seemed to be using the bathroom at the same time as me today! Until after lunch. I should have known there would be a rush after everyone slurped down there sodas/coffee/waters!

Harsh realization #3: Walking into a bathroom with 8 stalls that are half full in complete silence is not as bad as having to walk right back out becuase I cannot handle the thought of people hearing me pee.

Solution: Visit multiple bathrooms until finding an empty one. Then, pee as fast as possible.
