Awkward Wednesdays #2: But...I Just Don't Know...

One fateful semester, I decided to take a business class.  Business & Society to be exact.  Mostly I took it to see if dabbling in business was anything that interested me at all.

*Spoiler Alert*

It wasn't.  If anything it made me less inclined to take any more business classes from then on (even though I then took accounting the subsequent semester, but that's another story).

So like all classes you hate (i.e. basically most classes, don't lie to yourself), you usually make those "class friends"  You know, the kids you sit around that you'll chuckle with when the instructor says something off-color or strange.  Everything is very surface but it makes class more tolerable.  In this class particular, I sat next to a really chatty guy and a semi-quiet guy like myself.

I've actually talked about chatty before here, he's just a bunch of fun.

Anyways, on this particular day I had arrived to class five minutes early and had settled into my usual seat next to semi-quiet guy.  Not soon after, our chatty RM quickly came into the room and looked at me, twitching a little bit.

"Dude, I kind of have to pee."

Dear lord, why is he telling me this?  "...Well, why don't you just go? We have 5 minutes."

"Yeah, but I don't know if it's one of those times where you think you have to go but you really don't."

"Well, you probably shouldn't risk it then, just go to the bathroom and see."  Really, I shouldn't have to be telling you this.  By this point in your life, you should have mastered proper bathroom etiquette.  

See this?  It's your porcelain friend.

"Yeah but...but I just don't know.  It's so far away, I don't want to waste all that time"

"Why are you telling me this?! Just go to the bathroom, it's maybe 50 feet away!"  Maybe on the way he'll meet his soul mate, girl who doesn't know if she's on her period or not.


"AH, fine I'll do it, please let there be a lot."

"Good luck"

*2 minutes later*

"Dude, it wasn't a false alarm, thanks.  It just kept going and goi--"

"--you're gross."

But really, false alarms are no joking matter.  Please, turn on the Sarah McLachlan music now and listen.  When you have a false alarm to urinate, you must--and I mean MUST, tell everyone around you.  Only with their proper judgment will you know if you should move your body to a restroom and release your bladder. Otherwise, your rogue actions may cause severe trauma in your life.  You'll have to pee knowing your actions weren't known by others.  For shame.

End music.
