What I do in the bathroom.

About a week ago I went into the bathroom to blow my nose. I almost opened up the stall to get some toilet paper but then decided that paper towel would be fine. So I blew my nose and then left the bathroom. Now, the bathroom by my work is teeny tiny. Somehow they've squeezed a urinal in there. Because it is so small, you feel like you should turn off the light when you exit. So I turned off the light as a I left the bathroom.

And then I heard an angry shout. "HEY. TURN THAT BACK ON." I was already halfway out the door and as I turned to comply he shouted again. "HEY." Very angry. I said, "Sorry! I didn't know anybody was in there!" as I quickly flipped the light back on.

Gosh, right! Imagine if I'd tried to open the stall door. That guy was in a mood.

Anyway, now what I do is I sit in the bathroom stall quietly. Alone with my thoughts. In the dark. Then, when someone comes in and turns on the light I shout, "HEY. TURN THAT BACK OFF. WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING."

I know what you're thinking. "Does he really?" Well, I guess you'll just have to come by the bathroom nearest my work and see for yourself. Imagine that I said that last sentence there coyly.

Oh I would have laughed so much harder if you actually tried to go in the stall. Did you loiter around to see who the Jerk was that didn't want to pee in the dark? I would have!
I love your coy little looks. I want to adopt them as my own, but I don't think I can master them the way that you do. Will you teach me?

I turn off the light in the bathroom at my work when my friend is in there. I think it is a hillarious prank. Especially if you are real quiet and they don't know that it is you who did it. I mean what are they going to do, chase you with their pants around their ankles?
You should have yelled "welcome to Hell" in a very scary voice and ran off. I would have loved that.

I don't think I've effectively impressed on you how angry this fellow was.

I like "welcome to Hell." "It isn't as black in here as your soul, baby eater" might be good too. I can imagine them saying weakly "I'm ... I'm not a baby eater!" and then crying to themselves alone in the dark.

He was probably mortified that someone might have heard him trying to take a dump and he was mad because he was late for class and the sucker was just not coming out.

First of all: gross. I'd expect that sort of thing from me or Heather, but Elizabeth? Really?

Second of all: I didn't hear him! That was the problem.

That is exactly what I would have expected from Elizabeth!!! I really like the "welcome to hell." You should sneakily do it, just randomly pick a bathroom adn see what happens!!!

Oh wait, she already expects it from all of you. I, however, am the one to get scolded.

You always make me laugh so thank you! I would definitely have loitered to see him. Reading my book and looking not suspicious at all, of course! But then you know I have an affinity to bathrooms!

Hi Joshua! I got your comment on my blog about the Mitt Envy. Thanks for the compliments :), and let's see if I can help with your question!

You've knit across the 21 stitches for the thumb, correct? Then you pick up 7 *additional* stitches from the row above the "live" stitches you now have on your needle. Here is a terrific knitty article on how to pick up stitches (otherwise, this comment would be a mile long ;)): http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEwinter04/FEATwin04TT.html.

I hope that makes sense! If you still find you need help, feel free to comment on my blog again with your email address and we'll talk through it. :)

If you do your business in the dark it doesn't stink as much.
