Restroom time is my personal time.

[NuclearNed]

I walked into a bathroom stall at the office this morning.

A coworker saw me walk in.

The coworker decided it was the perfect time to quiz me about a report I wrote over a year ago. I guess he decided that at that moment I would be a captive audience.

I spent the next several minutes trying to explain through the stall door how the report works, all the while trying to bodily suppress anything that would make the situation any more awkward.



The moral of the story is this: I don't care if your frickin' hair is on fire and I am the only person who can help put it out, if I'm in the stall, I might as well be on Jupiter as far as you are concerned.

Jeez, already.

But if you're here, and I'm here, it's OUR time.

 

[pontifex]

i hate when people try to talk to me in the bathroom.

 

[fLum0x]

i would also agree. I feel this way even at the stand up urinals. I have a heard time talking to anyone let alone work related :x

 

[slurmsmackenzie]

hey... if the ****** talker wants a convo, don't do him any favors by "supressing" anything. let it rip and try to throw him off a bit. grunting and raving about turd size should help, too.

 

[slikmunks]

at the urinal...

"hey, whatcha got there?"
"ummmmm...."
*zzzzzzip* *flush* *rinse* *run*

 

[Geocentricity]

Totally agree. Piss time is personal.

Agreed, this would have solved the issue, or hopefully pointed out that it wasn't the right time.

You would have gotten your point across to him if you'd just ignored him while you were in the stall. When you walk out and have finished washing your hands, turn to him and say "What was that you were asking? I'm sorry that I couldn't answer you earlier, you caught me on the toilet."

If you are at the urinal and someone asks you a question, just turn around midstream and answer him without stopping what you're doing.

By the words used in the OP's post, I think it was a number 2.

 

[DivideBYZero]

It's fairly simple to say, 'I'll catch up with you in a couple of minutes'. I don't go over to peoples desks and start taking a crap while asking them for stuff. You can only expect the same the other way around.

"I'm practicing multitasking."

 

[hjo3]

I would've just said "Don't talk to me in here please."

Bingo. There are few times as personal to a man as #2 time.

 

[Aikouka]

People here do it fairly often. I used to see it as awkward but eh, work is work!

EDIT: As in "do it fairly often", I'm just referring to talking while in the bathroom. As to what they're doing while talking... that varies.

maybe you need more flare

I agree, tossing a road flare into the offender's stall would probably distract him long enough for you to finish your business.
