Default Those awkward moments

Popped into the gents upstairs at work - one cubicle, one urinal, and one wash basin. Someone was in the cubicle and I didn't really care, 'cos I'm that hard.

During the process I ended up in a race. Could I finish first? The guy was scraping away like a good 'un and I didn't really want to know who it was, nor use the washbasin after them.

I succeeded on the washbasin side, but I now know who was hunting for gold.

And I'm sure you're all the richer for it.

I entered the ladies' the other day and the toilet in the other stall was flushing. And kept flushing. At least five times before the user left.

I don't want to know, but most of the women on this floor (excepting a couple of us) are petite and slim. I'm really curious if this has to do with how one of them is staying thin.

Pity - I'm told the price of gold's high at the moment....

I walked into a store restroom once and saw that the first of the 2 stalls was a horrific mess. Took a step toward the next one and realized 2 things: The door was open...and someone was inside. Sounded like Niagara Falls in there...

And then this voice says, "Oh, sorry, I just really had to go!" This, in a stall that is so small you can hold the door closed with one hand while you're sitting down!

I decided I could wait until I got home.

sounds a bit like a couple of the heads at my second ship. one was a urinal and a stall, although the stall was first.

another was a stall and 3 urinals - designed back when the ship wasn't coed and no one had to lock the head when using it. still sometimes guys share if they both have to pee at the same time.

and sometimes even in the little one, the guys would forget to lock it and would get a surprise when it opened up and a woman came in.

I think I'd like some clarification on the sentence.
