I’m don't thnk anyone was sucky here, but this was hilarious!
I was standing in the checkout line at a convenience store yesterday, when a very flustered-looking woman burst in through the doors holding the hand of a small boy. I would guess the kid to be 3 or 4, tops.
The woman asks the clerk if her son can use a restroom. She was not rude at all, but sounded a little panicky. The clerk told her that they don’t have a public restroom, but there is a service station ½ mile down the road. She wasn’t rude, either.
The kid, meanwhile, is doing the pee-pee dance at an increasing rate of urgency.
The mother says “Oh, no! He’ll never make it! You must have an employee restroom. Can’t you please make an exception?” The clerk tells her that her boss is very strict about this, and she’ll be in major trouble if she allows it. The mother starts to ask if she can talk to the boss. The elderly gentleman ahead of me in the line says “I don’t think that’ll be necessary.” and points to the end of the counter.
The kid has removed the lid from a garbage can, and is busy peeing into it, looking just like one of those fountain statues. Everything comes to a silent stop as everyone turns to stare. The kid finishes, zips up his pants, and very matter-of-factly says “I’m okay now, Mommy!”
Everyone roars with laughter, including the clerk. The kid isn’t sure what everyone’s laughing about, but he joins in.
His mother, while laughing, was obviously very embarrassed, and offered to clean up. The clerk graciously declined, saying she’d take care of it.
