Steve & I have started frequenting Dexter's, local pub not to far from our house. It's only about a mile away so we walk there once or twice a week to get beer. The bartenders are really nice and there's a lot of folks from our neighborhood that hang out there as well.
Anyway...since last night was our first night without rain all week we decided we'd head over there after dinner and get a brew. We sat at the bar and struck up a conversation with the bartender and the folks sitting beside us and then found out that there would be a special beer tasting going on a little later that evening that we decided to hang around for.
We had good time drinking our Bud Lights (cause that's what you drink when you're on a budget) and then sampled the other 5 beers they were tasting that night.
Beer goes through me like nothing, but if you know me well you know that I absolutely HATE using public restrooms. Clean or not they gross me out. If we're out and I know we're going to be home within 2 hours and I have to use the restroom I'll almost always opt to hold it.
Anyway, so we started walking home and got barely a block away when both Steve & I realized that we REALLY had to get that beer out of our system. We decided to pick up our walking pace and looked like the speed walkers that I so enjoy making fun of (seriously, I think speed walkers look so funny and I can't help but laugh every time I see one of them out and about).
We passed another few blocks and decided to start jogging and then by the time we were 3 blocks away from our house we were in a full on sprint.
I'm sure we looked like complete idiots out running in our jeans and sweaters, but we didn't really care. The important fact is that we made it home just in time - sweaty, out of breath and with full bladders! We not only got a good workout in a but after we were safely home and had used the restroom we got a good laugh about it too!
Oh the things we'll do to avoid the things we hate!

I knew you had a dislike for public restrooms, but I didn't realize you were that intense about it. Are you sure you don't have just a little bit of OCD in you?
