No talking in the toilet room

You know what really grinds my gears?

When other women try to socialize with me in the bathroom.

When I go to the bathroom, or restroom, if you will, I am there for one purpose and one purpose only. No need to expand on what that purpose is you all get the idea. The majority of the time, I can go in there sit in my stall, come out, wash my hands, and leave. But I'm starting to notice an increase in those who want to make small talk, ask me questions, and even ask me to do something work related for them. Once a woman even dared to guess who I was while we were both sitting next to each other based on what shoes I had on!

"Mary? Is that you next to me? I think those are your shoes!"

"Fuck off lady, it's not Mary, and I'd rather NOT get into an awkward conversation with you about how fucking socially retarded you are for even trying that in the first place."

At what point did the bathroom stop being a safe haven and retreat and start becoming a social atmosphere? And I'm not at a bar with friends and we're not gossiping about the stupid shit girls gossip about in the bathroom. No one is doing my hair or lending me cute super-glittery lip gloss. No. It's 2:30 in the afternoon. We're in an office building. Don't talk to me.

Girls, am I crazy? Does anyone else notice this trend?
Guys, has this ever been an issue?

Haha. Yes, this is an ongoing problem. I'm very guilty of it though. I guess I shouldn't say much more than that. Although- it would be nice if it was just an in, out quick thing- maybe lines wouldn't be so flippin long!

Hilarious!

I'm totally with you on that. I don't need to be discussing the weather as I'm wiping my vagina.

It's just not even right.
