I was a trainee at Police College,when one evening, unbeknown to me, there was a dance scheduled and they had turned our regular toilets into a 'Ladies' by putting a sign on the door. I waltzed in there, and was standing at the porcelain, when the door opened and two ladies came in. I dived into the nearest cubicle, and stayed there until midnight. People were coming and going all the time.I was eventually able to leave by climbing out of the small window. It was a busy night! |
