Excellent entry for the 75 Word Story writing prompt contest. It's really funny.
Good flash fiction about old lady mad at condom dispenser. lol
It flows well with descriptive words that paint a clear picture...
Good luck in the contest.

We have to make sure we know who or what we are addressing when we say certain things. This was a cute situational read. Thanks for the chuckle. Poor old lady.

Ending was completely surprising. No signs? Was she blind? Regardless, I found your short story very interesting but wait... why was a condom machine in a ladies room. please tell. Not that it couldn't be.

She must've been distracted and not looking properly. As to why a condom machine would be in a ladies room, maybe women are more likely to think of sexual safety, or maybe women in my country are more sexually active???

and what country would that be??? :-)

This was a funny seventy-five word story. I feel so sorry for the old woman banging on the condom machine. It was hilarious, even if I felt pity. Thanks for sharing!

I'd be embarrassed if that was me. She should've paid attention... they look quite different. She must have been very distracted.
Comment from LateBloomer
Hello author, ha, ha, ha, very good, very cute. I think that the other women were impressed that the old woman still needed a condom.
Next time, Carol should just bring her hand sanitizer with her. Lol.
A fun story that made me laugh and smile. As this is a contest entry, I wish you good luck. LateBloomer

Thanks for reviewing. I've amended the story a little bit since you reviewed it.
(I think it's a good idea to carry hand sanitizer.)
Comment from lancellot
Hmm, well, I guess the line at the end describing Carol as an 'old woman' is meant to suggest to the reader, she was old, either confused or out of touch in some way.
I think some will find this funny and perhaps relate.
Good luck in the contest.

I was hoping some would think she was still hot to trot.
Comment from GTG345
Very Interesting poem, I understand the first 2 paragraphs but the last one just seems very confusing for me. Is it suppose to be fictional because there is no such thing as a condom dispensing machine? I am a guy so I don't know that and most people at my school (high school) either use the towel dispenser or shake their hands for 1min to get the water off.

Thanks for reviewing my story, even though you don't understand it. Good that you ask questions to improve your knowledge.
In my country (New Zealand... but probably in other countries as well) some public restrooms do have condom dispensing machines. The woman in the story does not notice she is trying to dry her hands at the wrong machine.
I think hot air hand dryers are much more hygenic than towel dispensers.
