in Chit-Chat
For example: If there are six stalls, and they're all empty except for the one I'm in...why would you choose the one next to me???

And for the record, this is not a glory hole type sitch.

    I don't care to know what happens in the women's restroom, but I believe that while my feet are on the tile of a bathroom, you should not be talking to me. And I won't talk to you.

    You might not have any idea how often a guy will walk up to the urinal next to you and presume that, while you are holding your wedding tackle, you would like to talk about sports or politics or general happenings.

    What I want to know is what kind of woman can’t put their bloody tampon in the toilet or the trash?

    Strength in Numbers? Maybe they didn't have enough fiber in their diet and just need the support to make it through.

    This sort of weirds me out, too. Same for people who sit right next to you in a nearly empty movie theater.

    I hate it when they are on their phone talking....HELLO Hang up for 2 minutes, really!>! Ugh...So I flush once for me, and a few extras so the person on the other end of their phone knows what they are REALLY doing. :)

    I second the no talking rule. I've said this before but it bares repeating. Guys, I don't know who or what you use for a (0(k holster... so wash your damn hands.

    I do have a question as to what is considered proper etiquette for passing gas in the bathroom? Is it OK to fire at will as long as you say excuse me? Do you have to say excuse me?

    I loved Jamie Gertz in that episode. "Don't call me anymore" to Jerry... "You either..." to Kramer. Bwahahahaha.

    As for passing gas...it's a bathroom. Do what needs to be done.

    Passing gas in a restroom? I was always brought up with "As long as you're in the restroom, fire away, it's only impolite if you're in any other room of the house". No need to even excuse yourself.

    LOL. I Hate public bathrooms. I have this weird phobia of sorts about using the bathroom within earshot of other people. (I know, I am weird). I'm such a dork about it that if someone else walks in after I do, I just like, rummage around in my purse and pretend I'm busy until they leave. lol. I hate how there's sometimes like a two+ inch gap around the doors of the stalls and everyone can see right in. I made the mistake of going to a Burlington Coat Factory once in FL ... a total dump for the record... and I was in the bathroom and this trashy woman (with 'tude) walks in and stands right across from my stall door (which is only about 2 feet away from her) and just stands there, staring at me through the huge gap on the side of the door. It was so embarrassing. Finally I was like, "Seriously lady, do you mind?!" and she just kept starring at me for a good 3-4 minutes. It was like my nightmare realized. I just sat there frozen. Finally she just goes "B*tch" and walks away, then proceeds to mad-dog me when I walked out. I just looked at her again and said "seriously? what's your problem" to which she ignored me... anyway...hate public bathrooms! (and FL... and that store) lol

    Just don't take a *kitten* on the floor in FRONT of the toilet, and I'm golden. Yes, this was a recent discovery in a public restroom that I had the joy of entering. :noway:

    Isn't it against etiquette to discuss bathroom behaviours in public?
