Blaadyblah tries door handle, it is locked.

People pass by.
Total stranger walks up and asks "you waiting for the toilet?".
Blaadyblah smiles "Yes"
Stranger leans on wheelchair and asks if there's another toilet.
Blaadyblah gestures "one over there, and one upstairs, I think"
Stranger "Oh no, I need the disabled toilet"
Blaadyblah "would you mind not leaning on my chair, please?"
Stranger "Oh.. oh, right. OK."
Blaadyblah repositions to hold the door as it opens to reveal a harrassed new mum & freshly changed infant.
Blaadyblah smiles at baby and Mum who says thank you.
Stranger "so, how do you... you know, go?" gesturing at the toilet...

Blaadyblah "Er... I let go my urinary sphincter and empty my bladder... wha? Erm, how do you?"
Stranger looks confused and departs.
