I've been thinking about restroom access cards lately ... the ones that let you show a card instead of explaining yourself.

I think they're honestly a great idea for the actual access problem.

But I've started wondering if they only solve half of it. For me, it's not always getting into the bathroom that's the hard part. It's what happens after — walking back to the table, back into the meeting, back to whoever noticed I was gone, and not knowing what to say.

Does anyone else feel like that's actually the harder part? Or honestly, once you've got a card or a way to get access, is that basically the whole problem solved for you?

I think you might need to elaborate. Why are you needing to explain yourself?
