Today, at work, a customer asked me to unlock the restroom for them. I honestly couldn't figure out which gender they were, but I didn't want to be rude and ask, so I took a chance. I unlocked the wrong one. FML

Couple of things. I couldn't have unlocked both, as the doors swing shut and relock as soon as you let them go. The customer was a natural born woman who looked and sounded a lot like a male. When they asked why I opened the men's, I just told them the women's was occupied. I have never made the mistake before and it was mortifying. She luckily was very cool about it:) also, both restrooms use the same key.

I would have pretended I unlocked the wrong one without realizing it. Like "oh it's been a long day I wasn't even paying attention to which bathroom I was unlocking!"

I would've just unlocked both for a while ...

You should just said that the other one was out of service

I would've just given them the key to take themselves

"Oh, I'm sorry. I thought the other bathroom was closed for repairs."

i would have just acted to unlock both of them.

Tip next time open women's. if they are women great. if they are a man just tell them you thought iy didn't matter since there was no on else

You could've said "The other one is out of order"
