How to Use the Restroom With Skates On

I have a funny story to tell. A few months ago, I bought a new pair of skates. I was not quite used to the new wheels on my feet and as I stood up after using toilet, I fell right back down on it! Ouch! Yes, it takes some practice to use "the facilities" with skates on.

Tips For Using the Restroom on Skates:

• If possible, hold on to something as you squat down.
  
• Point your toes together so you don't roll away.
  
• Lean a bit forward as you sit down and get up.
  
• Be aware that you are taller with skates on and that means the toilet is lower!
