What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you?The funniest thing that I can recall at the moment would be when I traveled to Toronto. I was in a park and needed to make a routine stop in the restroom. I walked in and sat down in a stall. I looked down and saw the feet next to me were in flip flops and their toes were painted with nail polish. I started to think how weird it was to see a man with bright blue toe nails, but I was in Canada, in a tourist area, so who knows. I looked to the other side and saw another set of feet in heels and realized I wasn't paying attention and had ended up in the wrong restroom. So I waited for the two of them to leave and then snuck out. When I was walking out another female was about to walk in; she saw me walk out and stopped, looked back at the sign, and looked back at me very confused.
