Since I am officially working for myself, I've instituted a four-day work week. I don't do Fridays. I go to the movies instead. Since I am low on funds right now, it's either the show at AMC before noon, which is $5, or the $2 movie.
Yesterday, it was the $2 movie. I had just purchased my ticket and decided to use the bathroom before I get my popcorn (I have a serious pathological need for popcorn at the movies). So, I'm in the stall, and I hear a woman and a child come in and go into one of the stalls. I'm not sure which one went to the bathroom but someone did. Anyway, they are still in the bathroom as I come out of the stall. I go over to the counter and get some soap and begin to wash my hands. As I am drying them at one of those useless dryers that blows cold air on your hands, this woman and the kid (he's about 4) walk out of the stall and, she looks me dead in my eye as she walks OUT of the bathroom. She didn't even approach the sink area. She just looked me dead in the eye as she took her stank-ass hand and wrapped it around the door handle as she opened it and left the bathroom. I sure hope neither one of them was eating out of a canister of popcorn! That shit was just gross. However, it reaffirms my theory about how irrelevant bathroom signs are. People like me are going to wash their hands anyway. We don't need a sign to remind us. And stank-ass, nasty, trifiling people like this piece of bacteria-laden trash are not going to wash theirs and with her blatant defiance, I know a 'reminder sign' would not have moved her any closer to the sink.
