Public restrooms have the potential to creep me out because I'm afraid of strangers walking in. The bathroom at my office doesn't hold that same kind of fear because it's a nice little one with two stalls.
My issue with it is entirely different. The light in it is set on a timer you can turn on for 5, 10, 20, or 30 minutes. If the light is off when I walk in I smack one of the buttons and I'm set. Sometimes the light is already on in which case I don't even think about it. But occasionally, in the middle of my bathroom visit the light goes out. And I don't think there is an eerier feeling than being in a bathroom stall with the lights out. Then of course there is the whole Bloody Mary with the mirror thing that I still can't really handle even as an adult, not to mention the awkwardness of someone else walking in and realizing I'm in there alone...in the dark. The whole experience is a big no thanks.

I'm so glad I'm not the only person who still holds onto a Bloody Mary phobia! It was the one slumber party game that I refused to play. To this day, whenever I wake up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom I am absolutely terrified of accidentally looking in the mirror while I wash my hands.
I thought I was the wierdo who wouldn't look in the mirror in the dark. I'm glad I'm not alone!
Hey Emily, Its Sara Call(Burdett). I found your blog and would love to keep in touch. I have my blog on private so email me at mooloosurf@msn.com and give me your email so I can add you. I am still afraid to look in the mirror in the dark thanks to Bloddy Mary. Hope you don't mind me checking in every now and then.
I have the same Bloody Mary paranoia! No dark bathrooms for me, thankyouverymuch.
oh my gosh. I have the bloody mary issue too. Plus, I'm afraid of bathrooms and sewer lines in general because of that creepy show "IT" that I never should have seen as a 13 year old child. Clowns in the sewer, and bloody mary in the mirror is bad--hit the 30 minute timer every time you go in just for good measure.
