Had partner (we were also somewhat high and crazy) run in after me, and...ummm....well......anyway, it was a lovely restroom in a lovely hotel, and nobody was in there at the crucial time.
Anyhoo, we then became so embarrassed that we waited until we were absolutely sure nobody else was in there...which took ages...and were also very embarrassed re the two pairs of feet thing, so I had to sit on the cistern FOREVER with my feet dangling over my fella's shoulders while he sat on the loo.
The other weird thing was in the loo at the Ritz, in London.
I was being entertained to the most wonderful afternoon tea, on my birthday, by friends.
I went to the loo, and waited calmly, utterly honourably and patiently for my turn, as you do in Oz.
After a while I realised that all these rich, well-dressed women were ignoring any concept of queuing, and were barging their way past me to grab a cubicle when they had come in much later than I.
I tried to become gently more assertive, but was simply knocked aside by these delicately nurtured blossoms.
It was on!!!! I decided on my cubicle, and, when the woman using it came out, I went for it with utter ruthlessness.
A gloriously attired and coiffed grande dame (who had come in a good 20 minutes after me) attempted to tackle me and force her way past. I resisted!!!
For a few tense minutes we wrestled silently at the door. It was a close run thing.....she stomped on my foot, and attempted to push me out of the way with a sharp shoulder. I ignored the pain, and used my hip to force her backwards......in utter silence, and with no eye-contact we struggled.
Slowly, inch by inch, I forced her back....her knuckles whitened as she held tightly to the door frame....finally, I caught her eyes and stared her down.....she slowly slackened her pressure on my foot and her grasp on the door frame.
Suddenly, she surrendered!!! The last I saw of her as I slammed the door shut in triumph was her reddened face and popping eyes as she realised she had been bested by a mere colonial in inferior clothing!
