So I discovered a new after hours game at work today. On Friday nights we work late in the IT department - we stay into the building's power saving mode. This doesn't normally affect us. But tonight I was stuck for a while in between tasks and was waiting on a team in New York to complete some work so I took the opportunity to use the mens' room. It seemed like a good time because, hey, privacy and all. No one else around.
Well, that didn't work so well. After about two minutes.... the lights went out. Total, absolute darkness. Um great.
So here is the game. You wait in the dark until some other foolish person comes in to use the restroom too. Then you quickly make your way out while there is light leaving them to face the oncoming darkness.
No amount of movement from within the stalls or stall area turns on the lights. Only motion at the doorway does so. This seems like a bad plan to me. A motion sensor only for the stalls would be okay. But only not for the stalls is not okay.
Right now, someone is trapped in there wondering what to do. And it is Friday night. This is a dangerous game of bathroom stall tag / "hot potato." Whoever is left in the stall after the last person from the floor goes home for the evening... is stuck in the dark until Monday.
