Gay encounter or random accident?

So yesterday I was at the YMCA in the middle of a workout when I got the urge to go to the "office" and "do some business." The Y's "office" has two stalls; naturally I first picked the one that is in the corner and is the most private. No luck, the door was locked and someone was completing a transaction of their own. So I go to the other adjoining stall. As I enter and close the door behind me, the guy in the other stall stood up and (being a very tall guy) looked over the wall at me. I glanced up just in time to see all this, and he quickly looked away, obviously embarassed. He immediately flushed and left, and I went about my business as usual.

My question is, why would any straight man check out a guy in another stall??? I've talked to this guy in the gym before all this, and up to that point I would never have guessed that he was in any way gay. I'm still pretty sure he's not, but now there is a shadow of a doubt. Even if he is gay, I don't think I have given off any "gay" signals. Actually, I talk about my wife a lot, dress in crappy (non-spiffy) workout clothes, and talk about "guy" things a lot, so I can't imagine anyone ever mistaking me as gay.

I've talked to the guy since the "incident", and it didn't really seem awkward or anything, so maybe I'm making too much of it all.

You be the judge. Vote.

Hmm. That's never happened to me and if it did I would be wondering... WHY?

Peeking over the wall in the crapper... maybe he has a poo fetish or something. I cannot imagine what would possess someone to want observe you completing your 'transaction' (lol).

The fact that you guys talk about guy stuff though - that really doesn't mean anything either way imho. I'm sure there are gay dudes that talk like guys (no offense to anyone).

I didn't vote... my vote would go to "WTF?!" heheh

Who says I'd have to enjoy it?

A guy was curious as to who was in the other stall... you consider this to be a gay encounter? Enough so to create a thread about it?

Being curious as to who's in the other stall is one thing. LOOKING OVER THE WALL... no. That just ain't right.

Maybe he ran out of toilet paper, and he was going to ask you for some, but when you looked at him in that loving way, he got embarrased and thought you might be gay. So he quickly walked out without wiping to save further embarrasment.

HE MUST BE GAY!!!
Remember kids, if you can't figure it out, it's a gay thing.

Is there a hole in the stall wall? If so than mabey it's a gay thing. ;)

Welcome to ATOT. Apparently you have a lot to learn.

He's tall and probably just glanced by accident. It wouldn't bother me in the slightest if someone did that to me. Don't be such a homo.

Do you feel you're in danger from this gay menace? Canceling your Y membership and putting that money towards therapy sounds like your best course of action.

If the guy is really tall, couldn't he "accidently" look over the stall divider, without really meanig to?

he probably just wanted to know which a$$hole it was that tried to enter his stall. you should bend down to see if there are any feet there before trying to enter the corner stall.

It's too late...

He's gay, you're gay... and this thread is gay.

I think you take homophobia to new heights! (jk) If a guy propositions causual gay sex, or flashes you his wang or something, THEN get worried. This dude was just tall and weird, end of story.

Even if he is gay, he must be aware that you are straight (seeing as you talk about your wife) so you can relax
