Let’s face it-public restrooms are icky, but occasionally they are a necessary evil. My friend, Jane Brown, recently was on an errand and nature called, so she stopped at Macy’s. She sat down in the stall and heard a voice from the neighboring stall say: ‘Hi, how are you?’ Jane’s not the type to start a conversation in the restroom, but answered with embarrassment: ‘Doin’ just fine!’ The other person says: ‘So what are you up to?’ Jane is thinking this is way bizarre, but answers: ‘Uhhh, I’m just sitting here…’ and quickly tries to finish business and get out of the bathroom. Then, she gets another question: ‘Can I come over?’ Sweet Jane decides she must end this conversation so curtly says, ‘No! I’m a little busy right now!’ She then hears her next stall neighbor say: ‘Listen, I’ll have to call you back. There’s an idiot in the other stall who keeps answering all my questions!!’ Oh, such is life 101.
