Traveling down the interstate and needing to use the restroom,
I stop at a rest area and headed to the restroom.
I was barely sitting down when I heard a voice from the other stall saying:
“Hi, how are you?”
I’m not the type to start a conversation in the restroom and I don’t know what got into me, but I answered, somewhat embarrassed,
“Doin’ just fine!”
And the other person says:
“So what are you up to?”
What kind of question is that? At that point, I’m thinking this is too bizarre so I say:
“Uhhh, I’m like you, just traveling!”
At this point I am just trying to get out as fast as I can when I hear another question.
“Can I come over?”
Ok, this question is just too weird for me but I figured I could just be polite and end the conversation. I tell them
“No…I’m a little busy right now!!!”
Then I hear the person say nervously…
“Listen, I’ll have to call you back. There’s an idiot in the other stall who keeps answering all my questions
Don’t you just love cell phones!!!

Ha! I thought things like that only happened to me! You can call me guilty of a similar exchange, but I was responding to the lady in the next stall asking if I was okay and did I need anything. First I was a bit put off by her questions, then I think she was put off by my responses. Thanks for the morning chuckle!

Too funny! Reminds me when I was traveling and had to use the restroom. When I was finished, I came out and picked up a drink. However, when I went to pay for it, the clerk asked me if I had gas. Of course, I replied "Isn't that a little personal?" 🙂 True story! I really did that.

Ha! Now THAT is funny! I always think it's SO odd when people talk on their cell phones in the bathroom!

Under the Influence says
Thanks for the chuckle! Did this really happen to you? Did you wait until they left the restroom so you didn't have to see them?

that is SO funny! but seriously – who talks on the phone while you're on the toilet????
The Random Blogette says
That so grosses me out. I used to work in a real estate office and all of the realtors used to talk on their phones in the bathroom. Come on people! Nasty germs!!! Can't anyone wait until they are done to use the phone??!!
Tim King says
Sherry, that was so funny it made me cry. 🙂
You probably wouldn't know this, but I've experienced a similar thing standing at a urinal in a men's room. Of course, I quickly realized that the guy was not talking to me. But it was quite disconcerting to have someone carrying on a (loud) conversation next to me while I was trying to finish my business. Ugh.
