Disclaimer: This is a true life incident that happened to me and I believe that it simple can’t be incidental with anything or anyone...
Though it’s not something I could write about but the incident suddenly flashed before me in my memory and I couldn’t help but write about it. It’s one of the funniest moments I have had till now.
This happened during my FMS exam last year. I usually get very tensed before any exam and this exam was no different. I had not received my admit card and FMS had a separate procedure for people who had not got their cards for entry into the hall. Well I had reached the center a bit late (considering the fact that I had to go through the checking procedure). And to add to the misery, the invigilators told me to go back and return the next year :| ! Anyways after a bit of persistence they let me in… It was quite late by then and I was completely freaked out… around 5 mins were left for the exam. As my habit I usually take a break to the washroom before exams. I became all panicky and was frantically looking for the washroom. Finally I saw it and had a quick look to check the ‘ladies’ sign. I opened the door, closed it from inside and barged in. Guess what happened next. To my horror and chagrin I saw two guys relieving themselves!! I didn’t know how to react and was all numb and guess what I did next… Instead of running away before they noticed me, I started shouting at them. Equally surprised and still continuing with their ‘work’ they tilted their head to see who this lady was who thought of hitting the gents’ toilet before the exams! I was shouting “Get out all of u! This is a ladies toilet.” One of the guys finished with his ‘work’ and turned towards me to face me. The look in his face is something I cannot forget. He was amused beyond imagination and directed me outside and showed me the signboard where ‘gents’ was written. Adding to my red face some jackass had written ladies below it with chalk and this is what I had seen before entering. Seeing the chaos three more guys had already gathered there who were in a bit of a hurry to enter and I was still stupidly arguing with them not to enter :\ Thankfully a peon from somewhere came to my rescue and redirected me to the actual ladies bathroom. It was then that I realized what had happened and I rushed out of the place to save my face. :\
