I got stuck in the C Club bathroom for 15 minutes yesterday.
-_- 

Went to have wine and cocktails yesterday afternoon with ButtercupSharon, RowdyRudy and AshleyTheMonkey.
RowdyRudy and i wanted to use the bathroom before leaving.
There was one available.

“You go first,” he said.
“Okay,” i slipped into the same one i’d just used 45 minutes prior to that.

When i wanted to get out, i couldn’t unlock it.
I kept on twisting and turning it this way and that but it just wouldn’t do!

*click*
*click*
*click*click*click*

“Joyce… are you stuck?” I heard RowdyRudy’s voice from outside.
“… Yeah… the stupid lock won’t unlock!”

Then i kept on trying and it’s not like i don’t know how to do it, i’ve been in that exact same bathroom twice!

*click*
*click*click*

“UGH! Stupid lock!!!” i cursed. Shit i remember Ash saying some woman got stuck in here for 20 minutes before and she came out crying -_-
“You want me to get someone? Okay i’m going to get help!”

Continuously fiddling whilst he was gone, i realised i was going to be late for my meeting.
-_-
These things just manage to happen to me.
-_-

I heard voices from outside and put my ear to the crack to hear them better.
“Joyce? Joyce? Okay, turn the lock anti-clockwise,” a voice i didn’t recognise spoke out.
“I am turning it anti-clockwise…”
“Are you sure? Turn it anti-clockwise!”
“I know what anti-clockwise is,” i said through gritted teeth.

I could hear RowdyRudy laughing through the door.

Then they asked me to put as much weight as i could on the door.
I leaned on the door as much as i could till my feel were off the ground okay.

Then we tried turning it clockwise.

I tried jiggling.
I tried slowly turning it (gently does it might do the trick, thought i).
I tried turning it while holding at the doorknob simultaneously.

I could hear RowdyRudy telling them i had a meeting.

They kept directing me to turn the lock, turn the lock, they said.
“I KNOW HOW TO TURN THE FUCKING LOCK. IT’S JUST NOT TURNING!”

RowdyRudy laughed and laughed and laughed cos of how i retorted at the patronizing directions.

Then i could AshleyTheMonkey laughing too -_-
Then i heard them saying they’re calling the contractor -_-

Out of the corner of my eye, i saw my reflection rolling my eyes in disbelief back at me.

At least if i need to pee, there’s a toilet right there.
Yeah. What if while you’re peeing, they burst open the door? Haha.
Hmm yeah man, lagi drama.

I stopped talking to myself and continued trying.

Then tiba-tiba, just like that, it opened.

-_-

Kanasai.

Luckily i’m not claustrophobic.
