Bathroom Talkers
I also am copying-another-blog's-subject today. I can't remember who was blogging about this, but just over an hour ago I was trapped by a bathroom talker. Class was just about to start and so I headed to the bathroom to take care of some personal business. That way I wouldn't have to miss any of the exciting new things I was surely going to learn in my Intro To Computers & Their Use (this is a REQUIRED class, btw) class.
Like I was saying, I open the door only to see this woman at the first sink touching up her makeup. As it happens, this lady is in my German class and she's, well....let's just call her "special", yes we'll call her "special" with the quotes and everything! So all within 10 seconds I have to decided if I can sneek past her, or if I should say something. It occurs to me that I don't know her first name, so I just sorta wave to her in the mirror and proceed to the stall at the opposite end. As I walk she says "Oh hi!", then as I'm clearly IN the stall she continues to talk about how great our professor is and how she's been studying for the last hour and a half and continues with other such ramblings. Give me a break! I broke eye contact a LONG time ago, there's no reason for her to still be talking!
So I sit and try to decide if it would be rude for me to release this unwanted waste now, or if I should hold onto it until she's done talking. Would that be like talking when someone else is trying to talk? I always got in trouble for that in grade school....
It only took me 1.3 seconds to decide that this dumb, oh sorry, "special", *something else very special* is in the wrong so I let loose. Man, I've never been so happy to pee in all my life. She was in mid sentance when I started. I couldn't make out the words, but didn't care cause she was done by the time I was done and I didn't really care to begin with. When I came out of the stall she was walking out the door. *insert religious deity here*, I hate bathroom talkers.

In my building at work we've actually got private bathrooms. As in, you open the door to an anteroom that has two other doors to the actual bathrooms. It's pretty awesome not having stalls.

Just wanted to let you know that i inserted "mighty mighty bullfrog" for my religious diety and it worked nicely.
Guys don't talk in the bathroom. Their afraid if you talk it means you are gay, because there are obviously no women around to impress with your talking.

I'm not even sure it has anything to do with women being arount to impress...men like to talk big in front of other me. Such as "this weekend I picked up an 82 inch compound miter saw." I think it has 100% to do with the gay thing. Then again, for men, when you are in stall, unless you are weird or embarassed, have a very specific goal in mind. If someone were to even think of talking to me, the first thing that would come to my mind is "why does this person want to talk to me when I'm taking a dump" -- note that I cleaned that up a bit, I would have actually thought something a little more blunt. I certainly do not want to even be very close to another man, or woman for that matter, that is taking a dump - let alone talk to them while they are doing thier business.
