More on Locks and Keys

I was at a thrift store yesterday and decided on a visit to the Ladies Room and when I opened the door, discovered a rather lengthy hall, much to my surprise, and a nice lock on the door I had just opened. I assumed the stall was around the corner and locked the door. When I turned the corner I saw three stalls, and realized I had locked the door unnecessarily, but went about my business anyway. Soon someone began pounding on the outer door and I felt frightened . The person kept pounding, which sent me into a realization that the person meant to control and intimidate me into opening the door. I decided to take my time and just wash my hands at the normal rate since this person meant to intimidate me. When I opened the door, a large woman who seemed to be in withdrawl from some drug looked at me menacingly and asked, "Why did you lock the door?" It was more of an outburst. I replied to her face, though it wasn't the exact truth, "Because I could," which really jerked the already jerked chain, to which she replied, "*ITCH!"

So my friend and I ended all our comments to one anther yesterday with "*ITCH!" and that was fun. I am not sure why I wasn't going to let that woman control my behavior just because she was scary; I guess I figured she had probably gotten away with a lot of that already that day. And maybe I should have let her.
