Thread: Close the Bathroom Door!

And now, another installment on the perennial topic, "Close the Bathroom Door!"

During my shave routine this morning, as I stepped with my left foot to reach for a towel, I stepped onto the cat.

The cat yowled.

I lifted my left foot to release the cat, who dashed leftward for the door.

Having lifted my left foot, I lost my balance, and fell...leftward.

My fall launched my weight against the partially-open bathroom door, slamming that door closed...onto the cat, who was running through it.

The cat yowled.

I did gymnastics in the air, attempting to remove my weight from the door.

I fell to the floor.

As luck would have it, I did _not_ have an open razor in my hand during all this.

I'm fine.

Cat's fine.

Close the bathroom door!

I'm so happy to hear about the lack of slashes, I was waiting for a nasty punchline, glad there was none!

I not only close but lock it. When I was fourteen I was shaving and right in the middle of a pass on the chin my mother opens the door and yells hurry you're late for school! Needless to say I was very late since the now missing chunk of my chin took 20 min to stop bleeding...peeled that sucker like an onion! I also wear pants too...dangly bits and blades don't mix folks.

Looks like you had an interesting morning.
Talk about drama

That would have been a great video!

I do close the bathroom door and shave sans cat, but my wife has been known to come in through the door like a storm trooper which has caused some blood letting to be sure.

No cats or kids but the boss and dog now know better than to startle me while shaving. Just takes one episode to learn the value of closing and locking the bathroom door while shaving. Just glad your incident was as cut free as mine was.

I am just the opposite.

I leave the door WIDE OPEN.

Kids are older, no pets....

Nothing to do with the fact that we all like to go by closed doors and POUND on them to startle the person in there.

So door is open so I do not get startled and slice off my head.

I always shave with the door locked, I don't like surprises while holding a blade to my neck. I'm good enough at slicing myself, don't need another reason to add to the scars.

Po' kitty. Off topic but cats get themselves into the worst places sometimes. I saw one jump onto a woodstove once . He got off quickly.

Maybe clear the rooom first.
