I've been there. I notice that whenever the slowdown finally arrives, the bathroom's always taken.

my problem usually is that it can be dead but the moment my foot leaves the counter someone pulls up @_@

This often happens at night when I attempt to do anything before midnight....
Take a step out from behind the counter, door opens *fuck*, get behind till, person leaves, rinse repeat -_-.
Almost as annoying is when there is only 1 person in the store, they get up to the till and a car pulls up, 1 person enters the store, 1 person leaves the store... Keeping up this chain for a few hours is annoying.

i think the worst of it is when you get to the point where you feel like your insides are going to pop like an overfull balloon and when you FINALLY get to the bathroom its like... 2 seconds of barely worth it effort. Feels like such a waste. Couldn't the body have held on better if there was only that amount?!

Awww

I would keep an empty coffee mug for said occasions... >_>

<3 <3 <3

i dont have the right plumbing for that.
also... EW.

It's not like I said a Pepsi bottle or something unfeasable.
And to this day, I am STILL forced to use a bottle on occasion. Damn this house full of women-folk! And damn second-floor bathrooms too!

Pepsi bottles work, or so I've heard... just not for women.
Technically you could say 3rd floor since you are in a basement though.

Hey Zem, thought you were dead, haven't heard from you in ages!
I just updated my journal with a huge entry. I'm trying to get ready for Aemi to make me a commissioned bear character. I figure since she's only actually gotten to talk to me on a one-on-one basis a few times, that the best way for her to understand me is if I bare(Bear?) all in written form.
Unfortunately, I don't have any up to date real life pics for her to work with for reference, since everybody sucks! >_<
(I need a camera folks!)
And I am on Floor Negative One, thank you. The term Mommas' Basement went out of style. I'm in a tornado-friendly urban cleft (as opposed to urban loft).
It's user fur-reindly if you wanna come visit. We'll have a staff party, with my two 6 foor staves!!!

I can relate to that to...
