I made a complete idiot of myself today at work →[More:]
I always use the same toilet cubicle (stall to Americans) at work, the one nearest the door (it's about the only one where you have room to turn round, the rest of them are just slightly wider than the actual toilet). As is usual in the UK, the toilets are completely enclosed, like mini-rooms, unlike the American partition-style stalls.

Anyway, today I went into the Ladies and 'my' toilet was occupied, so I used the one at the far end of the row. After I'd peed, I went to open the door and ... it wouldn't move. I pulled on the handle as hard as I could, but the door wouldn't budge a millimetre.

After struggling with it for a while I realised I was trapped. By this time, there was nobody else in the Ladies, but I knew someone else would be along shortly. I heard the door open and someone else came in.

"Help!" I shouted, "the door's stuck and I can't get out!"

"Oh no! I'll call Facilities."

Ten minutes later the Facilities bloke turned up, armed with his toolbox. By this time a little crowd had gathered.

To my immense embarrassment, he simply took hold of the handle on his side of the door, and opened the door towards him.

It's the only toilet in the row where the door opens outwards, not inwards. I'd forgotten I was in the 'outwards' toilet, because I never use it.

This is my life today.
