All I wanted to do was pee!
The only time I ever get real peace is when I go to the bathroom. For a couple of precious moments I piddle in private and quiet. Sometimes I will just sit and enjoy the quiet for an extra minute. One day I popped into the bathroom. I was in the first stall and the third stall was occupied. I piddled successfully and flushed. As I was about to exit, the lady in the 3rd stall spoke out “help me!”.
“Um, Do you need help standing up?” I asked. It was an older lady who replied “No!, my hemorrhoid has fallen out, I need somebody to put it back in”. I was taken aback. I wanted to walk out. NO WAY was I sticking my finger into her rumpus. I said “ma’am, I will call an ambulance for you, I will call a family member for you, but I cannot do what you just asked me to do”.
The lady told me she would try to ”reach it” and I told her again, that I would call medical care for somebody for her but she declined.
And so I left.
Note to self: Find an empty bathroom next time.
