Gina to The Rescue!

I was at the airport departure gate I was washing my hands in the restroom, when I heard someone inside a toilet cubicle trying to unlock the door - she was turning and turning it but for some reason it would not open! I noticed that she was trapped and could not open the door, so I told her I would help her. I took a look at the lock - it was different from the normal toilet lock. Luckily, I knew just what to do because of all the times I had rescued kids from being locked in the toilet when I was an Au pair. So I checked my bag for some sort of tool, but since my swiss army knife was confiscated at Brussels airport I didn't really have anything that would work. I kept searching and whipped out my wallet, I tried a coin but it was too thick, then I happened to have one little thin coin. I tried that and was able to twist the lock open!
The woman was very relieved. I was thrilled! I chuckled to myself over the skills that I learned as an Au pair!
