Today’s Wandering Thoughts

They entered the coffee shop, passed the hall with two restrooms in it and two signs pointing out those restrooms and walked to the other end of the coffee shop and stared at the employees’ break room door. Then they walked back to the counter and asked the baristas, “Do you have a restroom?” If they’d let their eyes go left, they would have seen a third large sign saying, “Restrooms” with a significant red arrow pointing the way and explanatory text, “The restrooms are in the hall to the right.”

Sometimes, though, you know, urgency just pushes rational thinking and observational skills right out of the brain.

  1. I read somewhere, several years ago, about some study or another showing that desperately needing to use the restroom affects a human’s thinking ability as much as does being drunk. (The study was particularly focused on how ‘driving while really needing to pee’ affected the likelihood that the driver would drive stupidly.) So yeah, rationality and observational skills may indeed go out the window… if they can find it.
