bathroom chats

Currently listening to: Say Something – A Great Big World, Christina Aguilera

Say something, I’m giving up on youI’m sorry that I couldn’t get to youAnywhere, I would’ve followed youSay something, I’m giving up on you

Why do people think it’s totally fine to talk on the phone in the bathroom at work—on speaker, no less—when there are clearly other people in the next stall? Like… why?

Do you really think your friend, mom, or whoever wants to hear flushing toilets, awkward pauses, and echoey acoustics while you casually chat about weekend plans or what’s for dinner? And do I need to be involuntarily looped into that conversation while I’m just trying to pee?

It’s one thing if you’re at home—I get it, multitasking to the max—but at work?

There’s one colleague in particular who does this all the time. She’ll stroll in, pop into a stall, and immediately start chatting—full volume, speaker blaring, completely unbothered. Whenever I happen to be in there at the same time, I make it a personal mission to flush twice. Let her caller get the full surround sound experience.

    The unnerving of some people. I guess they were never taught good bathroom edict. At the bathrooms at QT, there is usually someone listening to their music to a deafening level. It is annoying. Then you get the person who watches TV on the toilet while there in the QT bathroom. So I know it is annoying.

    I figure, when a coworker is talking on the phone in the stall next to mine, that it’s time to do some exaggerated grunting. REALLY exaggerated grunting. And maybe a squeal or two, followed by a “Thank God that’s over!” before flushing. Twice. And then, “Oh God, it’s clogged and flooding!”

        Then HE has the temerity to exit the stall and say, “You know, Ian, you’re kind of an asshole.”

        1. justrojie Avatar

          Oh snap!! Rude af!

            The second most likely comment upon exit from the stall, based on past experience? “Why are you in the Women’s Bathroom, Ian?”

    Oooh that’s some spicy gossip one doesn’t need 🤣.

    Toilets, loud talking in public transportation, sometimes restaurants, outdoors where everyone can hear, we have all that 🤷‍♀️.

    At least someone on speaker phone you can tell they’re on the phone. I once went into a stall at a movie theater and heard Them: “How’s it goin ? You there ? Hello?”
    Me: it’s ok I guess, the movie I saw was decent..how bout yourself ?
    Them: (silence)
    Me: Oh not so good huh ? Sorry.
    Them: “Hold on”….”Hey ! Chief I am on the phone!”
    Me: (flush, wash hands, leave without a word)

    WP Comment take 3: This happened to me once in a stall at a movie theater. More awkwardly they weren’t on speaker phone.
    Them: What’s up ?
    Me: (silence)
    Them: I said What’s up ?
    Me: Nothing much I guess, the movie I just saw was decent…how bout yourself ?
    Them: (silence)
    Me: Oh, I suppose your day hasn’t been as good
    Them: Hold on….Yo chief! I’M ON THE PHONE!
    Me: (flush, wash hands, leave without a word)
