I think you get to a certain age
and you realise life's just too short to be embarrassed.

In my local bistro there is a toilet downstairs (for the disabled, but everyone uses it rather than risk the narrow spiral staircase after a few drinks) which is located just off the bar towards the kitchen. It's a busy area which has a lot of people passing through.

I went for a wee. I thought the door was locked. It wasn't... I was surprised by a mortified woman who, as I froze mid-wipe, shouted "Oh god I'm so sorry!" (thus attracting the attention of anyone who might otherwise have missed the spectacle) and then backed out into a multitude of curious/aghast faces.

A few years ago I'd have curled up and died. But I just got the giggles, and it still makes me laugh when I think about it. That poor woman...
