During the holidays, there are multiple instances in which confusion is entirely possible. For example, when one is crashing from a sugar high and the English language sounds garbled and odd. Or when one is outside so long in sub-zero tempreratures that the brain actually becomes numb.
But possibly, one of the msot confusing moments came this very holiday season, in a restaurant, when one Christopher Cox had an urgent need to use the restroom after one too many glasses of...only Dr. Pepper, but still.... (You thought it would be the hard stuff, didn't you?)
The Urgent Matter came and Chrisotpher heeded its call. It seems that confusion from the almost-crisis had so completely enveloped him that he had little care for the distinction between the Ladies' and Mens' rooms. He pushed open a door and was greeted by cheery purple. He quickly scanned the room, but no urinal was to be found. His foggy brain considered, for a moment, this oddity but was soon overpowered by the Urgent Matter. While inside, Christopher's brain also noted the little white bins placed so conveniently on the stall--wait a minute! A startling realization suddenly burst through the fog of confusion.
He was--GASP!--IN THE LADIES' LOO!!
Resolution of Urgent Matter was immediately aborted and a very chagrined, but certainly enlightened, Christopher returned sheepishly to his seat.

Oh! That is too funny! Does Chris know you have shared this wonderful story to all to read?
Haha, that's great! I made that mistake once many years ago. I didn't realize I was in the wrong place until after I'd done my business and was washing my hands. A man came out of the stall next to mine and just stared at me. That's also when I noticed a line of men at the urinals also staring at me. Can you say mortified?
