This afternoon I found myself saving the day for an unsuspecting member of the general public. I had to use a public restroom, and not long after entering the stall, I heard a voice from the other side of the wall.
“Hey man, Could you pass me some toilet paper? There’s none over here.”
I happily obliged, and passed this poor soul some TP under the wall. Checking for TP is one of the things on my “pre-flight” checklist when entering a bathroom stall, but maybe this guy didn’t have time for a pre-flight checklist. I do wonder how long he was sitting there in horror wondering if someone would come in to help him or if he would have to get creative.
As humorous as this is, there is a real lesson somewhere in it about situational awareness. I think you get the picture.
Be prepared folks, keep your head on a swivel, and check for TP before you do your business.
