Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm one of those people who hate chatter in the bathroom. It's worse than chatter in an elevator.
Other day I waited for and rode an elevator with some fellow talking on a cell phone. And his end of the conversation went like this: "Right.... right.... right...... uh huh..... right .... that's right.....right..." I wanted to reach out and smack him.

Why? I ask this as someone who detests it, but since I don't mind it so much at home, I wonder why.

No jury in the world would've convicted you.
Bathrooms should be temples of silence. The business to be conducted is of a highly personal nature and unless you're talking to yourself, there's really no room for discussion.
But at home I don't mind it so much either.
I think because we all try to pretend we go in to wash our hands.
The worst communal bathrooms are the military style ones with a line of toilets and no stalls whatsoever. You occasionally find them in older locker rooms.
Hi, how ya doin?
I mind it at home, too. Of course, I live alone, so mostly what I mean is I mind it when my mother comes into the bathroom to talk to me while I'm peeing at her house.
Silence gives me the illusion of privacy. I would prefer to never have to use a bathroom that wasn't mine, really.
My elementary school had a big, round, communal concrete sink in the boy's room. There was a bar around the base you stepped on, and metal mushroom shaped thing in the middle that spritzed water like a lawn sprinkler.
They have these at Cal Expo. I think. Maybe Shorline. Somewhere where I used to go to a lot of concerts, anyway.

Is there no lock on the door?
I always love freaking out new male co-workers by telling them about the couch in the ladies room. They don't have one theirs. Between that, and the fancy lounges in department store ladies rooms, I think that women have it pretty good, bathroom-wise.
