When passing a co-worker of the opposite sex on the way to the restroom, do you acknowledge what they're about to do or where you just came from?

    I usually just high five them. Mostly because I miss human contact.

    I do, but to be fair I also say stuff like "Yeah, Eileen! You going to make some copies? Get it, girl!"

    I am the same way

    I just give them my best " Move B*tch, get out the way" face to know I mean business. Makes the work day go faster.

    I acknowledge them and tell them that "I hope everything comes out okay".

    OP, since when do you have coworkers? Are congratulations in order?

    This was an issue when I used to work. Now its an issue when passing someone in the unemployment office. Not only are we down because we're out of work, we have to eyeball each other as we go and discharge waste from our overweight and out of shape carbon units.

    That's rough. There are some things I need from Canada. Maybe you can smuggle bring them to me

    I can bring you Michael J. Fox. Outside of that, we really don't have much to offer.

    I used to work as a security guard at a museum. Sometimes I was stationed in the gallery right by the restrooms. I did not comment to patrons or other employees obviously coming or going from the restroom on them using the restroom. I might have smiled or said hi just like I would have anywhere else in the building.

    I don't acknowledge my coworkers. Ever.

    I was trying to find a more diplomatic way of saying this, but now that it's out there. Me too.

    I have a bathroom in my office. It’s nice. I loathe small talk.

    But to answer you question id just smile and keep on about my business.

    Folks, we've just been scoreboarded.

    I do, but our workplace is super-focused on "community" and it would be considered really rude not to say hello. I'm so used to it that I have to remind myself not to smile at everybody I see in the grocery store.
