That awkward moment when...The mom and pop store I work at in the middle of nowhere has the men's restroom light switch on the outside of the door. Besides the fact that this is not normal for America, I work in the vicinity of the store restrooms, therefore I am presumed to be the Almighty Keeper of the Potties. I can't tell you how many times daily men will go to use the restroom, go inside with the light off, proceed to find no light switch inside the room, open the door to see, proceed to look up and down the wall...maybe it's on the ceiling!? and then give me a desperate look of confusion. I am always prompt to let them know, "Hey man, the light switch is on the other side of the door."
The awkwardness increases with the fact that last summer I got tired of directing people to the light switch. I decided to make a sign, because who doesn't read signs!? I know I do! I made a sign that says: LIGHT SWITCH →
I thought, surely the problem is solved! People will read the sign and I will never have to direct them again! Turns out this was a lie. The majority of the guys are on auto-pilot and don't seem to read large signs on restroom doors.
So, here I am to this day, as faithfully as ever, saving the men of this small town from embarrassment for being outsmarted by a light switch.
