Place: Buddy's Dug-Out Cruise night, Norwichtown, CT
My Impression: My husband and I own a couple of antique (older) cars and go to various cruises on ocasion. One of these trips took us to Buddy's Dug-out for a cruise night. Since I always have my camera for cuise nights, I was ready. I needed to use the 'facilities' although I almost DIDN'T take my camera. Boy, I'm glad I did! I, first of all, couldn't find the lock for the door. Now, YOU KNOW I'm not walking 5 steps away from that door and leaving it unlocked!! Five steps away doesn't let you 'wedge' your foot against the door... I must have spent 3 minutes trying to figure how to lock the door (mind you it felt like an hour), .... then I looked up! duh!! Okay, I locked it.
Now I know this doesn't look too difficult to figure out, but somehow, I kept my left hand on the left part of the roller and I used my right hand to pull the toilet paper down...mainly because the roll kept falling off, (without the left hand as a 'stopper'). Once I got done using it, I figured it out. DUH!...
And BTW, is this sign necessary?? "Water from tap is VERY HOT.." Do you not see the red and blue dot on the end of the faucet handle? If I remember the last time I was in a 'john',-- left, hot.... right, cold. Does the sign mean that if I push it to the right, I still get HOT water? Ever heard about energy efficiency?? Save the hot water bill. Dummies! And oh, yeah, I would 'please be careful' if I was running the hot water for a while.... this post should be labeled the "Idiot's Guide to using a John".
Their sign is an excellent example of cautionary prevention. It's almost the same as the one over my kitchen sink. We live in an old school. There is a small cafe across the hall. We share one of the water tanks/boilers. (No water fees for us or them-big help to a restaurant! We agree that we have a great landlord and super.) The first time I turned on the hot water to wash dishes, it scalded my hands, to the point of raising small blisters. To prevent injury to others, (like grandchildren) and remind myself, I posted the warning. Public restrooms are used by small kids; folks with poor memory, and/or poor sight; these would need a warning. Cordially, Nehmah
