I took my B-I-L on our annual "shopping for my sister's Christmas
presents excursion" today. We both had to go to the bathroom and he said
"I'll wait for you to go first" and I really was perplexed for a
moment. Why is he waiting? And then I realized that men don't regularly
use stalls and therefore don't have handy little hooks to hang their
bags on when they use the bathroom. Huh. I never really thought about
that. I don't go shopping that often with men so it didn't occur to me
that men have a different shopping quandary to deal with. As I was
washing my hands and holding my bags between my knees I also bet that
men didn't know that trick either. Clint confirmed that he had never
once in his life held a bag between his legs. He also shared that in
bars, men have shelves over the urinals where they stash their drinks
while peeing. Weird right? Interesting gender difference discovery
today. I'm definitely using this in my lectures next semester.
