If that's your worst fear, Florrie, you should thank God. I can't tell how many times I've waited for people with normal bowels to vacate the stall. Some people are very impatient and will bang on your door. This will naturally make you very anxious and more likely to make a mistake when putting on a new flange. You must learn to keep your cool and not let them distract you from your mission. (Maybe it's their turn to have an accident. LOL). Still, don't work yourself into a panic about what might happen. Just be prepared and develop your ability to stay focused. And, yes, come over to our house for a cup of Earl Grey anytime.

I'm sitting here giggling at these mishap stories and realized that I finally feel like I belong! Our senses of humor are warped, and I wouldn't want it any other way!!
My first public mishap was at Taco Bell! I was trying to hurry because it was one of those bathrooms with only one toilet, and everything was going fine until I stood up and the clip got caught on the toilet and ripped the bag and wafer off. I taped it back on as quickly as I could and tied my jacket around my waist and walked out as calmly as possible. There was an elderly lady standing there with this shocked look on her face. Apparently, those bathrooms are not soundproof, and she heard my long string of obscenities. I couldn't help but laugh all the way home!
Good times!!
