But then you decide for me what's an appropriate amount of time to spend on the shitter, and I have a problem with that.
Yeah. WTF.
Once I was in a McDonnalds bathroom stall. A guy in there commented on how smelly my poo was. (He didn't use the word 'poo.')
That's not normal? WTF? I would have responded, "Well you're demonstrating an undue amount of interest in my toilet habits, and that's not normal."
OK, I'm not quite assertive enough to actually say that. But that's totally what I would want to say.
Teppy, good for you, that woman was way over the line.
"Well you're demonstrating an undue amount of interest in my toilet habits, and that's not normal."
I'd be tempted to say, "Ooooooh! I made a poo-poo! Come see! Come see my poo-poo!"
But I'd probably only say that if I was never going back there again.
I think it's awesome you had the presence of mind to say what you did, Steph! Seriously, WTF?!
Oh man, Steph, you were MUCH mire gracious than I would have been. I'm uptight about people trying to have conversations with me in the bathroom as it is.
Steph, you're my new hero for actually coming up with what I think was a pretty appropriate response for the (seriously, WTH?) circumstances.
How rude! My internal bathroom etiquette says you pretend like there is NO ONE in there besides you, unless they are family/friends, and you certainly don't engage in converstaion, much less offer advice on what is "normal". Good god!
Teppy, that was an ideal answer.
And if you're on the phone in the public restroom, you don't get to be annoyed by other people using the restroom for waht it was designed for.
