I still can't believed that happened today. I was at a 3-hour night class that was really boring so when the instructor called for a break, I got too excited to go to the washroom and I noticed there were no urinals in the washroom. I turned around right away and left to go to the men's washroom. One factor that could've contributed to this was that the paint on the washroom door was a little bit wearing out, but it wasn't even that much worn out. Man, I feel so stupid!!

Just be glad that nobody saw you. :wink:

That reminds me of something I did in elementary school. I was really curious as to what it was like in the girls' restroom; so I made sure that nobody else was around and snuck into the girls' restroom. Wasn't very different, other than the walls were trimmed in pink and there were no urinals.

Hehe, I figure most people do this, seems like a reasonable mistake to do sometimes. I've done this a couple times. I've even had instances where which bathroom was which was completely ambiguous (or at least not detectable in any way I could see.). I've even returned to the wrong classrooms or even entered someone else's room by accident at a dormitory because I didn't go enough doors down.

I've done this many times.

Once when I was a kid, I went into the men's room and caught a guy whizzing in the sink......or at least that's what I thought it was at the time.

Luckily I've never done that, but it's definitely within the realm of possibilities for me, especially if I have to really go :P

I have done it, forgetting which store I was in. There was a guy in there but I didn't see anything. Still, it was really embarrassing. Sometimes I get turned around or confused even in familiar places. I actually was in Borders book store but thought I was in another book store where the bathrooms were in an opposite layout. :oops:

Odd, I had a dream about doing this just the other night and I still have no idea why.
I used to do this frequently. When I was six years old, I remember class mates yelling at me because I was going into the wrong bathroom.
A few years ago I walked into one and there was a man at a urinal who gave me a horrified look (I wasn't looking and saw nothing).

Don't worry about it. It happens to the best of us at some point.

Bathroom
To dream that you are in the bathroom, relates to your instinctual urges. You may be experiencing some burdens/feelings and need to "relieve yourself". Alternatively, it may symbolize purification and self-renewal. You need to cleanse yourself, both emotionally and psychologically.
To dream that you are in a public restroom with no stalls, signifies your frustrations about getting enough privacy. It may also indicate that you are having difficulties letting go of old emotions. If you reveal these feelings, you are afraid that others around you will judge and criticize you. If you dream that you are in a bathroom meant for the opposite sex, then it suggests that you are overstepping your boundaries.You have crossed the line in some situation.

I did that once by accident. As soon as I saw it wasn't the ladies' room, I ran out as fast as I could. Thank goodness no one was there, I'd have died.

In high school boys used to push their friends into the girls' room.
