Oops, did you take the wrong door?

Yes, I guess I'm not a regular here :!:

They have been regularly remodelling the entrance area to the bathrooms over the past year or so (the actual bathrooms are in the same place).

So it is an understandable error...

As I was hastily on my way out the door I confused a couple of guys going in who tried to turn around upon seeing me. Awkward doesn't even begin to describe it
I have a history of this particular faux pas dating back to uni.
I once went into the toilet in the uni library and became alarmed when I heard a deep growling in the next stall. Walked out and received a chorus of applause from people who should have been studying !

Hope you don't mix up males and females when you're operating, PF :shock:.

You know that feeling when you walk into the toilets and see facilities that aren't normally in the ladies toilets?
Yes that feeling just happened at the VA lounge MEL

Hope you didn't leave the seat down, Princess.

Thankfully Princess Fiona doesn't operate.

Or at least I hope she doesn't.

Indeed, but having just been in Morocco with high 30's temperatures every day, it reminded me very well of why I escaped Australia; too hot! :mrgreen:

Technically speaking I do procedures which may require sedation. Sometimes I may be the doctor responsible for administering the sedation and sometimes I will be the doctor performing the procedure or supervising the procedure.
I'm pretty confident my anatomy knowledge is better than my reading of toilet door signs

I am sure your knowledge of anatomy is perfect but which hospital was it again?

Guess who is getting a spot with the microphone during the Barossa trip

Australia (and Morocco to an extent) copes with heat a lot better than England tho

Air con failed at work on Friday. Uggh. My train yesterday (only one stop) also had no air con due to a failure and no windows could be opened. Pure torture.

Tell that to the bus I took from Rissani to Fes ..... no air con in site

Agree with England. One company that I was working with last year (which shall remain unnamed) had aircon in the building but didn't use it to save costs.

Full TR to come! http://www.australianfrequentflyer....-mrs-flashwares-moroccan-adventure-60201.html

I am glad I am able to control my state of mind.

It is freezing outside. Person is wearing jumper. Get on train at Roma St Station/Milton Station and takes jumper off. Gets off at Toowong and puts jumper back on again. That is between 5-7 minutes.

I could not be bothered to go through all that trouble. There must be something seriously wrong with me because I see that and I freak at the pettiness.

And yes I do realise how my statement can be interpreted.

I often do the same on the tube during winter....

On a similar line of thought...

I was surprised during my time in Taipei how seasonally "programmed" the Taiwanese are; first day of winter, no matter the temperature, out come the snow coats and heavy jackets. No chance of an individual bucking the herd mentaility, either...

You didn't follow one of the female cleaners in, did you?

At the main concourse at the Frankfurt long distance platform, there's unisex toilets (all cubicles).

So when I got to the main concourse at Berlin, I was busting. So I joined a queue behind some people. The woman in front of me went right so I went ... right. I went into a cubicle & when I came out, a cleaner was yelling at someone in German.

I no speak German.

I ignored her until she said to me in English that I was in the ladies. Some woman changing her baby says to me in English "How hard is it to tell the difference between the male & female toilets?"

Obviously it is...

I did that once at the CX lounge at TPE airport. Got a very funny look from the cleaner on the way out. Oh, and I left the seat up.

All right if its a random event -my eldest woke around that time most nights for about 3 years! It was ok the few nights I was watching the F1, but wore you down after a while!

Not a random event in our household, in fact I think its a learnt behaviour on her part, "daddy" is the cry for " I need a drink, a nappy change, and a few hours of being cuddled on the rocking chair"..her elder brother was the same but with mummy instead of daddy.

Mind you its a good time to catch on up on some AFF topics on the mobile device too.
