The Other Stall
Sunday, May 10th, 2009
I was barely sitting down when I heard a voice from the other stall saying:
‘Hi, how are you?’
I’m not the type to start a conversation in the restroom. I don’t know what got into me, but I answered, somewhat embarrassed,
‘Doing’ just fine!’
And the other person says:
‘So what are you up to?’
What kind of question is that? At that point, I’m thinking this is too bizarre so I say:
‘Uhhh, I’m like you, just sitting here. ‘
At this point I am just trying to get out as fast as I can when I hear another question:
‘Can I come over?’
Ok, this question is just too weird for me. I figured I could politely end the conversation. I say:
‘No……..I’m a little busy right now!!!’
Then I hear the person say, nervously:
‘Listen, I’ll have to call you back. There’s an idiot in the other stall who keeps answering all my questions!!’
