close encounters in the unisex

"id like to buy the world another shot of laughter, and buy my friends another drink" - sugar ray (shot of laughter)

now i'm not entirely adverse to unisex toilets. as long as i get my cubicle privacy, i'm good. afterall there's nothing too exciting or scandalous bout everyone washing their hands at the sink or fixing their hair.

but that said, i've never actually been in a proper unisex before... until now.

my friend and i finally went to the balcony bar. we must have been one of the last 'un-cool' people to actually go there. by a lil sneaky sneaky business on my friend's part, we scored ourselves a coveted place on the big comfy white cushioned seats. ahhh... bliss...

eventually we felt the effect of our drink... in a nature's call sorta way...

so we each took turns to beeline to the bathroom. it's a unisex. which i even found pretty exciting.

as i was washing my hands, a cubicle door opened and a guy stepped out gingerly...

guy: is this the ladies?
jo: i think it's a unisex
guy: (flustered) oh i'm so sorry
jo: (almost laughing) no worries

and then the guy hurriedly washed his hands (barely!) and rushed out.

while the unisex may not be that big a deal, the reactions some people have to it is rather amusing.
