Michael Knapstad: October 28, 2009

This is the paraphrased story that Michael gave me in the voice of Michael:

I was on the second floor of the library at Fuller at the back where the cubicles are when I had to go pee. I got up and went down the center aisle between two bookshelves toward the bathroom at the other end of the floor. I realized that going down a parallel aisle was a Korean man who was obviously going to the bathroom too. Knowing my stage fright problems, I picked up the pace, but so did he I could see him between bookshelves, then he would disappear behind the books, then reappear between the bookshelves again. After about 30 feet the bookshelves ended and we ended up side-by-side. There was no going back.

I awkwardly entered the bathroom first and he followed. There were only two urinals with little or no wall between them. We both unzipped at the same time. Knowing my stage fright issues and that I wouldn't be able to pee anytime soon, I was going to pretend to pee knowing full well he knew I was pretending, then leave and come back. At the same time, I was coaching myself to just pee. Nothing. But he wasn't peeing either. So we waited. And waited. And waited. And waited.

Over a minute went by before finally I got a little squirt. Then he got a little squirt. Quickly he booked it out of the bathroom without washing his hands or anything.
