My 21st Birthday.
We were leaving downtown at about 3am. It was my 21st so you can imagine the state of mind I was in.
At around this time, downtown Orlando streets get really crowded from all the people who are driving home after a night of partying. So, me and a bunch of my friends are packed into my sorority sister's SUV. I'm squished between my boyfriend and my big sis. At this point, I realize that I REALLY have to go to the bathroom. The chauffer (my sorority sister) begged me to hold it until we got home. But, downtown O-Town is 20 minutes from my house and with all the traffic and the rain that started to come in, it would probably make the drive about 30 minutes. Five minutes later, I was whining, "Just let me out here! I'll pee in an alley!" She finally realized that I was serious about my need to go. We stopped at a 7-11. There was a women's bathroom and a men's bathroom. The women's bathroom line was 15 people long (of course) and the men's line only had 2 people. I felt like I was going to explode. So, I'm in the girl's bathroom line when I get the greatest idea...why not use the men's bathroom? I started inching towards to men's bathroom line. Meanwhile, I'm drunk as a skunk so I'm all wobbling around. This cop who is standing around sees what I'm trying to do. She comes over to me and just stands behind me with her arms crossed. The last thing I want is to be arrested on my 21st birthday. I stumble back over to the women's line with an embarrassed look on my face. She stood next to me the whole time I was waiting in line. I had to try SO hard to keep my balance and not open my big mouth for fear that she'd arrest me for public intoxication (yes, you can be arrested for that....I've had a few unfortunate friends who now have a record for this). It took fifteen minutes until it was my turn for the bathroom. It was HELL!
