What Would You Have Done?

I was filling up the font for a baptism yesterday.  No problem.  The font faucet and controls are in the men's room.  Turned out to be a problem...

The font was almost full and I had popped back in the men's room to make sure the water coming out was still warm.  I was hidden away in the handicapped stall when a man walked in.  (It was WAY after church, I hadn't even worried about manly company...)  I didn't know what to do.  So I hid.  Which is to say I didn't move one inch.  I didn't want him to see my crutch (dead give away who I am these days...) or the ruffles on my shoes (dead give away I'm not a dude...).  Thankfully his business was short and he left and I decided the font was full enough, turned off the water and ran.

It seemed worse at the time to calmly walk out and surprise him, but it was also pretty bad to stay hidden....  So what would you do?

Yup. Would have done the same... And reminds me dashing into the wrong restroom in the MTC and finding E. Richard G. Scott who said with a smile "Don't worry. I won't tell."

Isn't there an old saying, "Discretion is the better part of valor"...My question is, would you recognize him by his shoes???

Good thing his business was short, otherwise it would have been super awkward!

I would have done the same thing! I had to laugh at Heather's "Freak-a-leak!" and Mary J's account of Elder Scott. There are a lot of funny people in your life!!
I interviewed at a HS for a transfer to teach Spanish and the whole time the principal had his fly down. I didn't get the transfer.
