This reminds me of something that happened to me in a restaurant bathroom.

I went in to change the baby’s diaper. While I was in the handicap stall where the changing table was, someone came in and tried to get into the stall. They made some sort of sound and went into another stall.

Well the baby was really messy, and I needed to wash my hands before I put her clothes back on, so I grabbed her up with my arms, trying not to use my hands and headed to the sink, leaving the clothes temporarily on the changing table.

While I was at the sink, and just as I was heading back to the stall, I see the person that had come in leave her stall and make a beeline toward the stall I was in. She must have felt the vibration of my door shutting when I left and really wanted to get into that stall.

I was saying, “Excuse me, Excuse me, I need to get back into the stall to get my baby’s clothes”, but she didn’t acknowledge me. (That’s when I grabbed a plunger and whacked her over the head:) Then it suddenly dawned on me with how she was feeling around to get into the stall that she was not only deaf but blind.

I hated to do it but I had to maneuver past her and get my baby’s clothes out before she could get in there. She made some kind of noise when I did this.

Anyway, it was a good thing I did get my baby’s clothes out of there, because I went back to the table, within eyesight of the bathrooms’ main door and she didn’t come out for about 20 minutes.
