Public Restroom Secrets Revealed

“The easiest way to get someone to bend the rules is by approaching them one-on-one. For instance, instead of going into a place and being like, ‘Where are the bathrooooms!’ (haha, but also definitely do that), go up to someone who looks like they might be sympathetic to you and, very calmly — the key is always to be calm, and not to make anyone think you’re weird or panicked in any way, even though you likely ARE panicked a little bit, or are, in fact, EXTREMELY panicked — ask, ‘Do you by any chance have a public restroom?’ (I like to believe the dignity of ‘by any chance’ and ‘restroom’ help offset the inner scream of ‘OMG I’m literally going to ____ my pants!’) This turns the issue into a more human, person-to-person situation, rather than just a ‘these-are-the-rules, tough-luck’ situation.”
