Unfortunately there weren't any toilets at school so I had to make do with the squatting toilets. I always thought every public restroom would have toilet paper, but boy was I wrong ! Turns out you have to bring your own, and class was still in session. There was nobody there to save me in this…uhh…pooping situation if you will. So i had to improvise. You know what they say, desperate times call for desperate measures. I took off my shoes and....that's right ! I used my sox for toilet paper. What ? I told you it was disgusting, but still ... it was pretty smart of me huh ? I can't believe I even thought of that. What a genius ! My sox were so soft and cottony, aww man ! And just for the record, I threw them away after I wipped. I mean I'm dirty but not THAT dirty ! So what are your embarrassing moments in life ?
