The Natural Sweetener
One of my pet-peeves is when a dude tries to strike up a conversation with another dude in the restroom.
I'm not homophobic, I'm not insecure, I just don't wanna talk when I've got myself exposed. ESPECIALLY when the the urinals don't have partitions between them! At baseballs games one encounters the trough style urinal which I flat out refuse to use. The excitement of a game that is either going well or the fear of loss when a game is going badly induces exaggerated conversation that is much worse than that in a bar or during a break in classes or even at work.
In any case, trying to be congenial with me when I'm in the restroom is a bad idea. You will get rebuffed.
Girls I can understand. The restroom can be a kind of refuge away from the overattentive ears of male counterparts, but guys tend not to gossip in the bathroom. We go in, do our business and go out. Maybe if we had entire stall in which to do said business we might be more talkative, but we don't and we aren't.
I mention this right now because today I was in the guys bathroom and through the wall I could hear a gaggle of girls talking at such a volume that I could distinguish the subject matter of what they were saying. There was a guy waiting by the door to use one of the urinals and he had the courtesy to wait until I was done even washing my hands before he said anything about it to me. Thank you gentleman. Whoever you are. You did not puncture my bubble.
