I kind love these. It's a little taste for the rest of us what a few of us must feel almost every time they enter a public bathroom.

I ran into one and I felt afraid I would be judged for choosing a room that others didn't expect me to.

So I rehearsed a quick meaningless apology and took a guess.

No one actually bothered me, but it was still a little stressful.

And then I thought, "Oh, that's what it feels like."

I also learned the same place had plenty of other bathrooms clearly labeled in a "for use by anyone" manner. So I guess if I had chickened out, I could still have found those.
