| scariest toilet |
The toilets at work have motion-sensitive detectors in them. The lights turn off when there's no-one there, and when you walk in and the lights are off, there's a delay of a few seconds while the lights turn on again. So you're walking in on total blackness.
If you don't hesitate (and I don't these days) you can be right in the middle of the room, in pitch darkness, before the lights come on. You can even get a bit of a buzz out of it, but that's wearing off now. Of course, I suppose if you are in there and don't move for long enough, the lights will think there's no-one there and will turn off again.
Today I realised that I am secretly disappointed with the toilet situation. In all my time here, no-one has gone to the trouble of hiding in the toilets and then scaring the meat and potatoes out of me by shouting really really loudly in my ear just as I reach the centre of the room. I feel this is something that is really missing from my life experience so far and I hope there is something that can be done about it.
Surely there's someone out there who can help my dream come true? |
