My New Phobia

Lately a bizarre fear has crept into my life.

It seems like fairly often these days someone goes into a bathroom immediately after me.

As soon as they walk in there, I'm all, "Shit. Shit! Did I remember to flush the toilet?"

I mean, no one wants to be that girl. For whatever reason, I have an irrational fear that I'm constantly forgetting to flush and my co-workers and friends think I'm vile and disgusting. Sometimes I contemplate running in there before the door shuts saying, "Hold on...just wanted to be sure I flushed! [giggle]" Then I realize that's just weird, weirder than forgetting to flush, so I stop myself.

You are so funny, Nikkers!

How about the fear that someone comes into the bathroom while you are in there (or just after you) and thinks that it's YOU that stank the place up instead of the other girl who couldn't wait until she got home?! Ok, sorry. I'm treading into my own personal space there...

I have such a fear about my zipper. I check my fly when I get out of the car - almost compulsively. And when I leave the bathroom, I do a fly check. But I can never seem to remember to do it before I go into the common area. So most people I work with probably think if I have a Jacko-type groping issue.
