“Only June …… “ The other day Dick and I stopped at Dunkin Donuts before we took off on a road trip to somewhere. We ordered our usual, which included using the restrooms before we headed out. Okay, so you’ve got the picture? Well, as usual, there always seems to be something that delays us a bit and that day, it was me getting locked into the Ladies Room. The door would open about 5”, but no further. I said to myself …. “Oh no!” Getting into a wrong car in Walmart’s parking lot WITH the owner sitting in it …. At about 8:30-9:00 at night no less …. Is one thing, but getting locked into a Rest Room at Dunkin Donuts at morning rush hour … isn’t something one would particular want to remember. I heard people talking, and could see enough through the opened crack to know that Dun-keys was very busy … and Dick was standing in line waiting to order, just far enough away that he couldn’t rescue me without a scene. As I peeked through the 5” crack wondering what the heck I was going to do, and as I am gently TRYING to open the door, I kept watch to see if anyone would get close enough to the door so I could signal them for a “Help, I’m locked in the Ladies Room” plea. Well, there was this young man, probably mid-teen, whose job was to mop the floor at that particular time (thank goodness!). I saw him swishing the mop around and noticed he was coming close enough that I might be able to send out a distress signal. Yup, NOW ….. I put on my best act with “Help, can you help me” plea. Well, you should have seen the poor kid. He almost tripped over the mop pail as he snapped around and began to check the rack to see which donuts were talking to him. It really was funny, as he no doubt was thinking …. “What the heck!??” As he came closer to the Ladies Room door, I gave it my best shot. Up until this point, he had NO idea what was going on and certainly didn’t even know who was asking for help and where, so .. I let it go “Could you help me …. The door will not open” ….. He grabbed the handle from the outside and gave it about 3 good tugs til it freed open and rescued me. I felt like a cat who was stuck in traffic and then once freed, ran like hell to safety …. Which of course, mine was to find Dick. After I found him, he was not surprised at my latest adventure, and we got into the Jeep to continue on to our ‘adventure’ for the day. However, I think I already had enough adventure. The poor teenage who thought donuts and croissants really do talk ? EEK! … and yeah, people were watching. Hope I don’t meet them on the street ! Have a great day. Off to a new adventure today …. Dick can’t wait ! hee hee hee
