At the market, waiting in line for the vendor bathroom, the woman standing in front of me abruptly turns and asks, “Do you just need to fill up your water bottle, or do you need to pee, too?”
“I, uh, I need to, um, use the restroom too,” I finally manage to stammer, and she explains that if I’d only needed to fill my water bottle, she would have let me go first.
We stand for a few moments in silence until I say, “You know, it’s kind of awkward asking a stranger if he needs to pee....”
“Yeah,” she says, nodding, “I totally thought the same thing as I was asking you, but by then it was too late."
