I had to ask my girlfriend for help in the bathroom a couple of weeks ago. I
had put on jeans that morning, and had to use the bathroom in her sister's
house. There's nothing to hold onto in there and I was afraid to try to lean
on the sink (or "zink," for those who might be from "Balmer") to get my pants
down. I usually wear pants with elastic waists now, but every now and again
I still like to wear my jeans. After my neighbor helped me get into the
inaccessible bathroom in HIS church though, I lost all capacity for
embarrassment about asking for help.
