Going to the bathroom

universal bathroom sign

You’re faced with two doors at a fairly trendy and touristy bar. One says “M,” the other is unmarked.

M for Men? Or. M for Mujeres, women in Spanish?

I think I can speak for all travelers and expats when I say, it should be an international law that all bathrooms are marked by figures, clearly indicating who goes where.

I’m in the bathroom. I forgot to lock the “M” door. A man walks in. Chilean.

English-speaking Chilean man: “Sody, sody (how it souded. Sorry.) I think you’re in the wrong bathroom.”

Me in Spanish: “La puerta dice ‘M’…mujeres.”

Chilean: “But I think it was ‘M’ for ‘Male.’”

¿Quien sabes?

Who knows?

I bet if we had seen a figure in a dress, this would have never happened.

 

 

(Fortunately I was just doing my hair, so no violations were involved)
