A little whisper in the dark

Toilet

Of late, there's some media furore over the Government finally accepting people of alternative sexual orientation into their service. It struck me I'd had a brief if embarassing encounter over the weekend; I think before the announcement was even made.

In an unfamiliar shopping centre, you'd check before entering the washrooms, just so you enter the right one. Yes, I've had friends enter the wrong one but I've not had the fortune of entering the Ladies yet.

A cautious approach, and tentative glance. The sign on the door is not clear, and whilst my head is cocked toward the sign, a figure appears in the doorway. I glance at the figure, and back at the sign again, just to make sure.

The figure turned out to be a longish haired guy, rather effeminate at first glance.

I had to check to make sure I was standing in the right doorway, and I think it was a bit comical, yet at the same time embarassing.
