I (18F) was in the middle of work at my student job working at the gym at my college, and I started to realize that I was on my period. I go on break to start going to my college’s womens program offices to grab a pad because my advisor told me thats where they defenitely had some. I go over and its in a little space in the wall inside the main student programs building and a women is standing in a very tiny lobby with a hallway to its side. I approach her and ask if they had pads so she says asks what size I need. I tell her, she says “Okay!” and I follow her to get the pads. I guess my fogged up brain that was on autopilot just interpreted that as following her to get some as I wasn’t implicitly told to wait. I pass some offices to my right with people talking in them maybe 3 it’s a very small space and a kitchen to my left (At the time I thought this was just a really comfortable space for women to get that kind of stuff IG?? and enter these offices as they are open wide). It takes 7 seconds that whole walk until shes at the storage closet she grabs them and realizes I was there, and immediantly gives it to me and gets angry. She yells “You’re not supposed to be here! This is a staff only space!” I immediantly start panicking and apologizing profusely as she continues to scold me saying stuff like “You’re invading their privacy and thats why theres a lobby here! You can’t just walk in there.” I grab the pads and just leave at that point, but I genuinely thought because the space was so tiny that it was supposed to be free roam like that but I was so embarassed after if I invaded anyones privacy or conversations in the rooms. I did feel unsure at the time if I was doing so even though I checked if there were any doors that said otherwise and they didn’t, but maybe thats because as a fellow student employee I was used to just going to the back areas but that isnt an excuse. 😞
(Sorry for bad English)
TL;DR Went to get a pad at my college’s womens program center, followed the staff to get some because brain was on autopilot and got scolded for invading the staff space and the space where people were having confidential conversations…
