Talking in the Men's Room

AugieD · Mar 12, 2011

True story...

My wife and I went to a hockey game last night. Before the game started we were strolling around the arena when I needed to use the men’s room. I walk up to a urinal at the same time a moderately-overweight, gray-haired gentleman is finishing up, two urinals over. As he is tucking in his shirt and zipping up his pants he says:

“Damn! The older I get, the smaller that son of a bitch gets.”

Being surprised by his comment and his disregard for the normal “do not talk to strangers at the urinal” etiquette, I smiled and chuckled, but did not say anything.

Afterward, when I was telling this to my wife, it dawned on me what I should have said in response:

“That’s the worst pick-up line I have ever heard!”

That's very funny.

I have a travel job that keeps me on the road a lot. (last year I flew 48 weeks) As a result, I spend an above average amount of time in public bathrooms. In the last 3 years I have seen a serious increase of window shoppers and gay guys trolling the urinals. It's a good thing I don't get stage fright, or I'd never go to the bathroom!

I think he was trying to get you to look. Heheheh.

Leaving Miami for Ft Lauderdale, I decide to stop at one of those rest areas on the side of the road. I go into the bathroom. The first stall is taken, so I go into the second stall. I had just sat down when I hear a voice from the other stall............

"Hi there, how is it going?"

Okay, I am not the type to strike up conversations with strangers in washrooms on the side of the road. I didn't know what to say, so finally I say:

"Not bad............"

Then the voice says:

"So, what are you doing?"

I am starting to find this a bit weird, but I say:

"Well, I'm going to Ft Lauderdale.........."

Then I hear the person, all flustered, say:

"Look, I'll call you back. Every time I ask you a question, this idiot in the next stall keeps answering me!!!"

Please note that this is an old joke that started around the time that cell phones first started getting portable and not my personal experience.

I am continually amazed at the number of people who carry on lengthy phone conversations while taking a dump. Not only are the sounds of their farts and grunts obvious, but all the flushing and pissing sounds echoing around them are too. I am a champion multi-tasker, but some things are just not worth the small amount of time being saved.

I don't mind a little pleasantries as long as they are appropriate, social and impersonal. "Great game so far!" or "We'll catch 'em in the third period!" would be fine at a hockey arena urinal..."Does this look like it's infected?" would not.

(Oh, and let's go RiverKings!)
