'The restaurant thought I had dined and dashed': Customer takes too long in the bathroom, server calls the cops thinking he dined and dashed

Talk about a humiliating dining experience! This patron had an unfortunate emergency that required a relatively long trip to the bathroom. The trip took so long, in fact, that his server began to think he dined and dashed because he took his things with him. It turns out the customer elected to grab his things because he didn't want his stuff to be "out in the open" while he was gone for what he instinctively could tell would be more than just a minute. Well, the server decided the matter was serious and called the police. So when the customer finally wrapped up his business and returned from the bathroom, he had to start answering questions from police offers, who actually showed up as it seemed to be a slow day.

This thread was posted to Reddit by u/Ok_Market_284, who we'd like to thank for opening up about this vulnerable experience for everyone else's amusement. We appreciate his ability to make lemonade out of lemons, and we hope that he hasn't had a similar experience since. Look, no one wants to have a bathroom emergency in a public place, and no one wants to take a long time in a public restroom. That being said, sometimes duty calls (pun intended).
