There are many people who have stomach issues and it's probably embarrassing for them to have to ask to use your bathroom. I know I hate to ask, but sometimes you just can't help it.
The other day I took my mother to the surgeon's office for the preliminary meeting between her and her surgeon. We were sitting in the waiting area chatting and all of a sudden my stomach told me I had to go. There is a restroom right in the office, so I thought no problem. Wrong. I went in. The toilet needed to be plunged. I could not force myself to "add to it" and then go tell them. So I quickly went up to the front desk and told them, and asked if there was another restroom I could use. I told her I would not ask if it weren't urgent and as she led me through the hall to another restroom she said she understood, and she could tell that I wasn't kidding.
So, next time someone asks you if they can use the bathroom, please realize it might really be urgent for them.
