Mortified and Humiliated...

[Keddy]

After work yesterday I had to run to Whole Foods to pick up some groceries for my mom.
I had to use the restroom. At the Whole Foods near where I live- well, actually in most grocery stores that I know of- the mens' bathrooms have one urinal and a bunch of stalls. I hate using urinals because of my OCD, I can't really... go... in front of other people. It terrifies me.
I went in the handicapped stall (I know, bad) because it's in the back corner and I knew I wouldn't be near anyone. There were a few other guys in the bathroom, a couple of them in the stalls and two more in line to use the stalls.
But Christ, as soon as I started peeing, the stall door unlatched...
I must not have locked it properly. I know the two guys standing there saw everything because they started dying laughing. I really almost cried. I got out of there as fast as I fucking could and I very nearly had a panic attack. The last thing someone with severe OCD needs is for the world to watch them take a piss...
I cannot believe this happened to me. I am mortified and humiliated. I'm never using that restroom again.

You know what, Keddy............ things like this happen sometimes. I've had it happen in women's bathrooms also. But look at it this way. The two guys laughing were the idiots. I'm serious. What mature person laughs at humiliating others.

I know it was embarrassing at the time, but think of how stupid and pathetic these guy's lives are if they have to get their jollies from hurting others. You're so way better in the human being scale. I'd say their maturity level was on about a 10 year old level.

Just tell yourself that they were losers.

I know that's hard to do, but seriously when I read what happened, I gave no power to two stupid idiots. I wish you wouldn't give them any power either. They don't deserve it.

Keddy, It has been a strange week. This is just one of those things. I opened the bathroom door on a construction worker using the bathroom at Target. As soon as I noticed him I shut the door and ran so no one knew who it was. A truck driver came in to buy a belt. His had broken and he tied them up with some kind of plastic strapping tape. Today I helped a women find a pair of pants for work because her zipper broke. She was mortified. We've had workers rip their pants and if you have a kind manager they'll expense you out a pair.

The two guys there were a bit immature but, I bet they didn't even think twice about it once they had their laugh. So don't obsess over two people who don't matter. Once I forgot the garbage and I heard the truck coming so I ran grabbed the bags and was hurrying up to the curb when I slipped and fell. I sat in the snow in my pajamas with my bags and I knew the garbage men saw me because they were in hysterics laughing as they drove buy.

You need to watch "Arthur" the episode were Binky rips his pants at lunch at school.

Yeow....
anyone would feel totally humiliated in that situation. A lotta people hate using public washrooms at all. I knew quite a few people as such.
Damn, sorry such an awful thing happened.
But wtf....why would people do what they did? They musta been kids or somethin; no one mature would do such a thing.

Thank you guys
Your advice and feedback were all great. This is why I feel so comfortable here, everyone always has some kind words
I'm feeling a lot better about this incident now. It was terrifying in the moment, it was humiliating, but sh*t happens.
The people who were laughing at me looked like a couple of young assholes anyway. They were my age, if that, so they have room to grow up and stop laughing at people in public. I'm a lot more mature than most guys my age, so I don't think that stuff is funny.
Well, you live and learn, and what I learned that day is to always make sure the door is locked properly
It was mortifying, sure, but I'll likely never see those jerks again and next time I won't use the restroom with so many people in there at once. My pride is intact once again, anyway.

I went on YouTube and watched this episode, LOL. It took a lot of searching but I found it. I get what you're saying. Sh*t happens. Live and learn.
In all honesty I'm shocked that I never ripped my pants in front of anyone, judging by the luck I have, LOL.
Thanks, Merc.
