The first situation was something that was a tough call of whether or not to intervene, and she was upset she didn’t. Understandable. Second was silly... A female staff member, doesn’t matter who she’s employed by, was trying to help fellow humans relieve the pain in their bladder by guiding them to the (mostly) empty women’s bathroom. I’ve literally done the same things for a long line at the women’s restroom when there was only a two person line at the men’s.

(I simply said: “Hey ladies, there are 5 empty stalls in here, I’ll hold the line out here... whoever feels like they’re going to piss and/or shit themselves, head in. Let’s see if we can knock down the size of your line.”)

Stop turning your disappointment in yourself onto others. You’re hurting not helping, unlike the nice female attendant at the overcrowded bathrooms.
