All helpful - thanks! Mostly I was just whining. And I can't imagine anyone having the nerve to corner an agent in the bathroom (although I've heard it happens). I'm not that forward, I guess.

... I encountered a major editor in a bathroom one time.
Nope, I did not have the nerve to talk to them
I can relate to your position. I've researched agents who seemed really cool, only to find out that they were closed to queries. Pretty frustrating.
