I don’t really know why some people feel the need to talk when they are urinating, but I don’t.

I went to Church this morning, but before I got there I had about 2 or 3 cups of coffee so by the time I arrived the bathroom was a necessity. I went in as normal, and noticing there was someone in the stall at the end I went about my regular business. I was aiming for the top left drain hole when the “someone” from the stall came out and asked, “So, how are you doing???”

The first thing that came to mind was, “well, I’m not totally on target and I’m getting a little splatter, all in all though,,, I’m doing ok.” What came out of my mouth was, “Fine“…???

At that point I wanted to look over and see who it was, but I didn’t want to encourage the conversation. (I didn’t want a conversation) All I could think was, “who the heck decides that it’s normal to introduce them selves with a conversation to a person while they’re peeing.???” I tried not to think about it, finished up and then went to wash my hands. I should have walked directly from the urinal to great him with a nice friendly hand shake, then gone to wash my hands.

As I was washing my hands he continued to ask, “So, how has your week been?” I replied simply, “Can’t complain.” Thats when I notice he had on a badge with a string tying it around his neck. Ding!! Ding!! as the light went off in my head. “this guys is connected to the Church staff, no wonder he felt the need to start small talk. While I was peeing…”

I don’t know about anyone else, but just because I’m not inside a stall doesn’t mean that you can talk to me while I’m peeing. Especially if you don’t know me. Seriously, would you strike up a conversation with the guy in the stall next to you while he’s taking a dump just because conversation is a nice thing to do. Hell no…

I know I’m blowing this out of proportion, but if the bathroom was a place for conversation while your peeing than the urinal should be facing each other so you can talk face to face.

If you know me than you can ask a question while I’m peeing, other wise please speak only when necessary…

thank you.
