There's an issue in the bathroom



NMO. Aka New Managers Orientation. Aka one of the worst weeks at work.

During these weeks we have new managers from different sites come in and they get a 4 day "training" at the corporate office to learn about....???....managing people, I assume?? It's usually all women, and usually a TON of them. There's nothing more frightening when the gaggle of them boom into the building with all their luggage (cause, yup, they come right from the airport), yelling (not chatting, because they are just SOOO excited to be there!) and being totally lost of where they need to be or where the conference room. Oh, and where do they put their luggage? And do we have coffee? Where are the rest rooms, will we be serving a breakfast???

Welcome to my life.

So anyways, the day continues on. Until, the greatest thing ever happened. Bill told me the greatest story ever, which happened to involve a "NMO".

Bill was sitting at his desk, when an employee came looking for him since, naturally, our office manager was no where to be found. So, the employee, looking rather distraught, told Bill that there was an "issue" upstairs in the women's bathroom, and she needed his help immediately. So, Bill said he would call the property management company and would get someone out there to help out. The lady told Bill that this was a critical issue and it needed to be handled asap. So Bill, assuming it was a clogged toilet, or a leaking sink decided he would humor the lady and go upstairs to take a look.

What he found was way better.

There was a....

NMO....

STUCK IN A BATHROOM STALL!!!! Totally locked in, couldn't get the door to open at all!!!!!

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA! I personally would have FREAKED out! That, or climbed under the door and freed myself.

Can you even imagine being that lady? Or better yet, the lady who was next into the bathroom? Do you think she heard "excuse me??? can you help me, I'm STUCK in here!"

So poor Bill was unfortunately stuck to get this woman out. Having her crawl under the door wasn't an option as she wasn't small in size or real young. After trying to "kick down the door" and fiddle around with the lock, Bill ended up pretty much knocking the door off the hinges to free the poor visitor. Once the scared lady left the stall, Bill took it upon himself to take a look at the damage to determine how he was going to fix it. As he entered the stall, he realized this lady decided that in the all the time she was locked in there, flushing the toilet was not an option!!

EW! Who does that??? Why would you not flush?? Especially if you're trapped in there - people are going to see what you did, or...didn't do!!

Needless to say, Bill never fixed the door.
