Nadine: “Nemburis, you MUST lock the door of the bathroom behind you.”

Nemburis: “I tried. I was defeated.”

Nadine: goes in, and pushes the little button in the middle of the door handle.

one hour later

Nadine: “Nemburis!  You MUST lock the door of the bathroom behind you.”

Nemburis: “But this one’s different!”

Nadine: goes in, and turns the little knob in the centre of the door handle.

next day at public restroom

Nadine: “Don’t forget to lock the door behind you!”

Nemburis: “How?”

Nadine wonders why things are so complicated here in America. I think Nemburis probably does too.
