Bathroom Attendants

Have you ever walked into the bathroom only to find some random person starring at you? They aren't in there to use the facilities, they are just there to help you with your every bathroom need. Can't squeeze that deuce out? They can help push. Burn a little when you pee? They will hold you when you cry.

But seriously, isn't this one of the most awkward jobs you could have? I get working at a busy night club where you were constantly handing people paper towels and trying to get them to tip you, but what about the restaurants and slower clubs? You would just stand there, listening to that one person peeing or taking a dump. What would go through your head? Maybe "Gosh, I hope they tip me" or "Man, that person must have had tacos before they came in here."

One time I walked into a restroom to find a creepy old woman standing there staring at me. I was almost to scared to pee, but then I did drink a two glasses of water. She watched me walk into the stall, and her eyes were on me the minute I emerged. As soon as I started washing my hands, she was there with a towel. I reluctantly took it, thinking "oh great, now I have to tip this woman for listening to me pee AND doing something I would have gladly done myself." I look over at her tip jar, it was empty and I felt really bad so I tipped her a dollar. As I turned and opened the bathroom door, I looked back to see her taking the dollar out of the jar and sticking it in her pocket. SCAMMED.
