I do not like to touch public toilets. In fact, I usually try and avoid them altogether. Unfortunately, when you are at work for 11 hours, usually it is difficult to avoid. So I settle for not touching them. I use the little paper sheet, push it into the toilet when I am done, and then flush with my foot.

Today, as i was pulling my shoe back, I felt the heel of my sandal catch on the little garbage can that is there for feminine products. I was pulling back too fast to stop. I felt my shoe fall off my foot, and gasped in horror as I watched it fall toward the toilet!

It landed on the seat. . . .

and teetered. . . . .

and tottered. . . . .

it was like the whole scene was in slow motion as I watched it slowly fall. . . . .

to the floor.

Thank God it fell to the floor! If it had landed in the toilet, I honestly would be going home with only one sandal on my foot.
