No, It’s Fine, There’s A Pokémon In The Women’s Bathroom
Hello ladies, excuse me. Haha, yes, I know this is not the men’s room, you can stop yelling. It’s fine, I’ll just be a minute. I presume then that none of you are playing Pokémon Go?
Ah. Well, there is a Pokémon here — a pocket monster, invisible to you — right here in the women’s room. I think it’s a Pidgey.
I’ve got to catch them all you see — the Pokémon, that is. Here I was, minding my business at the office and lurking near the women’s bathroom, when my phone began to vibrate alerting me to the presence of a Pokémon nearby. Imagine my surprise when I realized that the creature I sought was behind this very forbidden door!
You ladies just stay right there, I need to have my camera out for but a moment to catch him. There is no need to alert Patty in HR, or even inform anyone about what has happened here. I’ll just catch my Pokémon and be on my way.
Did you know that Pokémon Go is already so popular that it’s nearly overtaken Twitter in terms of daily active users on Android phones? Open the app, and you too will find there are Pokémon all around us, just waiting to be caught! Pokémon in the kitchen, Pokémon in the lobby, Pokémon in the petty cash drawer — and yes, even Pokémon in the bathrooms.
Not the men’s room though, I checked. Only the women’s room. I will need to check all the stalls with my phone.
Really: it’s fine.
