S2L, were you in STL this morning? They found a naked guy dancing in the lanes of I-44 eastbound about 6:15 AM.

Well, LisaSTL, I do have a following! Did you get pics? If not, here's the video...

I am a male mystery shopper. One day I opened the door to a unisex gas station restroom and a woman was seated on the toilet. It was amusing to say the least. Why is it that some people forget to lock the door?

She probably doesn't have children at home.

Darn, I was hoping Chippendale's or some other business with nude male dancers was hiring mystery shoppers, imagining the guidelines were saying "All expenses reimbursed. You must bring 50 one dollar bills and place them in the dancers' underwear." LOL

I guess the common reaction of drivers seeing a naked man on the freeway, was either, "wooo".. or "ewww!"

Much depends on the guy and his various "attributes".

There was some radio ad campaign a while back... I can't even remember what it was for! But anyway...

NARRATOR: "Reaction of a woman finding a naked man in her closet:..."
{audio of woman screaming like a banshee}

NARRATOR: "Reaction of a man finding a naked woman in *his* closet:..."
{audio of man going, "whoa-ho! all right!"}

I now have the desire, to shop a naked man

Is "shop" a code word?

Don't forget, the client expects details, details, details in those narratives and discreetly taken photos!

I live alone and never even close a bathroom door, yet I don't have that problem.

In our house, in the downstairs can at least, you *have* to at least mostly close the door, because the can is right behind it. in the upstairs can, you have your option; but my brother who rents the upstairs rarely seems to use it. I don't think he realizes how sound carries, and that he's still only about 10 to 12 linear feet away from the TV room area, just vertical instead of horizontal. I *eat* in that TV Room. :/

My bathroom in my tiny apartment is so small, the cats can barely get through the door when I'm in there.

Have you noticed cats will open the door while you're in there but don't have the courtesy to close it when they leave?

HAHA! Yes, I have. I've also noticed how they like to leave and come back in every minute until I feed them, especially first thing in the morning! They should know after 7 years what the routine is!

Dogs don't, either.

Do your cats open the door, when closed, from the inside? My dogs have figured out how to maneuver their noses against the door, to open a closed door from the inside, pulling it towards them. But as you observed, no ~ they still haven't figured out to close it again!

My Tigger would reach under the door to pull. If he was on the outside it didn't work so well. Inside it worked like a charm.

Just some thoughts to consider about taking restroom photos:

(1) Always knock on the door.
(2) If you don't hear anyone respond and the door is unlocked, open the door and call in to see if anyone is in there. Sometimes they don't hear you knock.
(3) If you don't hear anyone respond the door is locked, obtain the key from the attendant.
(4) We have some restrooms in our area that homeless people use as a place to crash. They'll get the key from the attendant, go unlock the door, return the key to the attendant. Return to restroom and lock the door behind them. Customer will attempt to enter the restroom and be told that it is occupied.
(5) Some stations in my area lock the restrooms or block the doors so that customers can't use them either because the restroom is trashed and they are too lazy to clean it or it's really trashed and they are tired of cleaning it. Some stations complain that drug dealers use the restrooms to make their drug deals with customers.

NAKED GUY UPDATE: I am still in shock but I saw one of the naked guys again this afternoon. He was across the street from the gas station and he was slowly working his way across a parking lot using metal braces. The man is disabled and yes, probably homeless. (I did not know this when I saw him naked in the restroom.) I started to drive away and then I made a u-turn and pulled into the empty parking lot.

Now he was sitting on a curb and he looked hot and exhausted. I asked him if he was thirsty. He said yes. I asked if he was diabetic and he said no. I gave him the cold can of Coke that I just bought as my required store purchase for my gas station shop. He seemed grateful. Then he asked for money to buy some food. No one should be shocked. I said that I would not give him any money but I would buy him something to eat. He wanted grilled chicken from Pollo-something or other right around the corner. Since it was so difficult for him to walk, I told him that I would pick it up and bring it to him.

At the chicken place, the cashier was asking me questions about beans and rice and sides. I told her that it was not for me. She asked if the other person was in the restaurant so I could ask what they wanted. I told her it was for the disabled, homeless guy at the other end of the parking lot. She just smiled at me and said "10% discount and extra beans and rice at no charge.

When I returned to the man, he seemed a bit surprised that I actually returned with the food. He opened the container of food and commented on how much chicken was there. I had thrown in various sauces for the chicken, plastic knife and fork and many napkins. He thanked me over and over again. He asked for my name. I asked for his. I did not shake his hand. I did ask about his disability...spinal injury. He spoke as if he was an educated man; he did not reek of alcohol at all.

Weird how one naked man story can become a totally different story weeks later. Make a difference today.

Good for you and good for that cashier.

I do gas station audits all the time and I ALWAYS knock first before entering and if I have a key, I still knock as I open the door and even ask (IN A LOUD VOICE) if anyone is in there. There are several scenarios where this is appropriate, at least in my area:

At some of the remote locations, homeless people and vagrants actually live in the restroom. They either get the key from the attendant or hang around the restroom waiting for someone to use and then intercept the customer as he is leaving to gain access or in many cases in rural GA, the restroom is left unlocked during the day.

Even though the restroom normally needs a key to access, the previous customer may have inadvertently unlocked the restroom or didn't completely shut the door when exiting, leaving it ajar, enabling a customer who does not know it's locked to utilize the facilities.
