I'm Such A Jerk

Today at Best Buy, I had to go to the bathroom so I went to the men's room in the back of the store. Seeing that the bathroom was empty, I took a few seconds to analyze the situation. There were two stalls, a normal one and a handicap-accessible one. Being that I was alone, I decided on the handicapped stall because well, they are much bigger and more comfortable to use.

I took off my jacket and hung it on the hook on the back of the stall's door. After wiping down the seat with some toilet paper, I sat down and was ready to play some Bejeweled Blitz while I do my "thang". A few moments later, I heard a few people enter the bathroom. Just my luck, I hear a knock on my stall. I took a quick peek to my left to see if anyone else was using the other stall. It was unoccupied. Why didn't they use that one? I looked underneath my stall's door. Oh noes...the wheels of a wheelchair. To quote a famous philosopher, "D'oh!"

Extremely embarrassed, I immediately got up and flushed the toilet. I rustled around in the stall to pretend like I was hurrying to finish up. I opened the stall door and saw the annoyed look on the man who was pushing another man in a wheelchair. I tried to avoid eye contact. I could feel their eyes burning a hole in me. I sheepishly walked past them and took a bee line to the sink. I quickly (and needlessly) washed my hands and rushed out of the bathroom without further incident. Oh man, I am such a jerk. Another life lesson learned.
