“Brudder, Will You Take Long in the Toilet Anot?”
It was a gloomy evening when I was at a McDonald’s outlet in Ang Mo Kio waiting for KuKuNehNeh. Feeling the need to shit after eating my fries, I went to the toilet and there was only one cubicle for ‘big business’ and I occupied it. After a few mins of creaming the toilet bowl with the processed contents of my previous meals, I heard footsteps approaching my cubicle, followed by a knock on my cubicle door.
“Brudder (Brother)!!! You will take long anot?”
Having the shock of having someone talk to me while moving my bowels in a public place had me holding in the shit that I was about to excrete.
“Errr… Give me a few more mins please.”, I answered him.
Only a few seconds of silence passed before an irritating sound filled the washroomand reached my ears. The guy outside was drumming his fingers impatiently on the hollow sounding plastic soap dispenser. I had no mood to finish what I started and opened the door to find the young man looking at me in the eye and he said, “Thanks Brudder!”
I know he was probably very urgent but how I wish that I shook his hand in response before washing my hands in the basin.
