I work at a school as a teaching assistant. Everyone has a little bit of a silly voice when talking to little kids, right? Or is that just me?

Anyways, our toilets have an automatic flush feature that’s motion activated. Most people still flush it manually, and sometimes while getting up they trigger the motion sensor, causing the toilet to flush twice. The kids and I call this “extra stinky mode”.

It came about when somehow one of them learned about courtesy flushes, which for those of you who don’t know is the extra flush you do mid-poop so you don’t smell up the bathroom when you’re taking a long time.

Well, yesterday, after an extra long brain-frying day, I had to stay late to help grade some papers. I went to the bathroom. My coworker in the other stall finished up and accidentally triggered the second flush. I don’t know why, but I just blurted out “UH OH, EXTRA STINKY MODE”.

Immediate regret. I could see her feet stop in their tracks while she tried to figure out what the fuck was wrong with me. She washed their hands and left, not saying a word. I stayed there for about 10 minutes hoping she’d gone and wasnt waiting for me outside the bathroom, and then went straight home.

The worst part is, I dont know who it was. I didnt pay attention to the shoes everyone was wearing, so I could’ve said that to any of my female coworkers. I have no idea who I called extra stinky, I’m so embarrassed.

TL;DR: I accidentally shouted “extra stinky mode!” At a coworker who flushed the toilet twice. Why did I do that 🤦‍♀️
