I was barely sitting down when I heard a voice from the other toilet saying:

'Hi, how are you?'

I'm not the type to start a conversation in the restroom but I don't know what got into me, so I

answered, somewhat embarrassed, 'Doin' 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 traveling!'

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 but I figured I could just be polite and end the

conversation. I tell them '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 toilet

who keeps answering all my questions.'
