I am so embarrassed and angry. I went to a restaurant the other day and went to the ladies room. Yes I know I was supposed to place the paper in the bin but I didn’t. It just doesn’t seem sanitary.

Well to make a long story short, when I flushed the water started overflowing. I tied to get out of the stall but it had locked. The water continued to overflow and soon my sandals and my purse that was lying on the ground got wet and dirty.

I pushed and pushed the door and it finally gave way and I bashed straight into a Mexican woman that was cleaning the washroom.

I was furious and almost crying. The cleaner asked me to remove my sandals outside the washroom and she cleaned them. She took a cloth and washed down my bag.

After I was cleaned and contained myself I returned to my table to finish my dinner.

The food was good – not great – and we left a small tip even though the experience left me angry, dirty and feeling abused.

Should I go see the management and ask for my money back for my dinner?

Dear Shirley from Canada,

Ms Maneras has just finished pouring a loaded coffee and laughing her guts out. When the signs say place the paper in the bins, it means place the paper in the bins. Ask for your money back! GET A GRIP. Small tip? PLEEEEEZ!

Get a reality check. You should have given a very large tip to the cleaner and then another to the management for messing with their plumbing.

I can tell that you aren’t from Hope BC Canada because Shirley, you are far beyond it.

PLACE THE PAPER IN THE BASKET.

Ms M
