It's funny how the only time I can find for blogging is when I have to study for a big test. I have been meaning to write about Heidi's gas station bathroom experience for some time now so here we go. So we're stopped at this gas station while on the way home from the Smokies and Heidi tell me she has to go to the bathroom. Ok, sure, no problem. You've been to the bathroom many times before, I'm sure you will have no troubles today. I finish pumping the gas and sit in the car. Now, it was taking her awhile, but one thing I have learned about girls and bathrooms is there no amount of time that is abnormal for a girl to be in a bathroom. Who knows, maybe she had a baby hairspray can and was trying to spray away 4 hours of head rest and wind, maybe she was just tired and wanted to take a nap. I don't know, I don't question. Anyway, I began to think that going to the bathroom was a good idea myself and headed inside. The door opened with a bell, what a nice touch for a gas station. I'm here gas station attendant, I'm here! Good thing that bell rang and you know I'm here. Now I can get that special gas station hospitality and service that I've grown to love over the years. Maybe I can eat some of your nasty fruit and get a disease. Anyway, the attendant tells me the bathrooms are outside. Yes, outside bathrooms! You know you're in a quality establishment when the doors open with a bell and the bathrooms are located outside next to the abandoned garage. Very nice. At least the bathroom key wasn't a key attached to a hubcap. I don't know what I would have done. Anyway, I head out to the bathrooms and hear something like my name, but I can't tell where it's coming from and continue with my business. When I'm leaving the bathroom I hear my name again, and it's coming from the women's bathroom.
"Jason! Jason!"
"Heidi?"
"I'm locked in here."
Now, I'm not gonna lie, I laughed. A lot. But I felt really bad because my bathroom was pretty disgusting and she'd been in there for awhile, unable to get out. So I run into the gas station and tell the attendant and he gives me the key. I run back and unlock the door. OK good, Heidi is laughing too. She didn't die from fumes. When I did open the door though, I noticed a big post-it note next to the lock, "DO NOT LOCK THE DOOR." Heidi informs me that she didn't see it. Awesome. After she realized she was locked in she found a little peep hole in the front of the door (which is kind of disturbing in itself) and just crouched there waiting for me to show up. I finally showed up, she yelled and I didn't hear her. So that was the sound I was hearing. Anyway, it was really really funny. And I don't think Heid was too traumatized from the experience.
Well, back to stress and studying. Good thing I found this video to help relax me. Thanks to Irene's blog for finding this gem.
