Public Service Annoucement

For the record: If a visibly pregnant woman is standing outside a bathroom door, it does mean, Yes, the loo is occupied!!

Twice in the last few weeks I've had someone challenge me as to whether a single-stall bathroom was occupied. The first time was at Harvard's Coop, the second at a local grocery store. "Are you sure there's someone in there?", I was asked. Of course I was sure! What did these people think, that I liked hanging around outside smelly public facilities? If the pregnant belly wasn't a sure enough sign that I really needed access to that bathroom, perhaps the look of absolute desperation mixed with anxious determination should have been sufficient indication.
