Is there no such thing as bathroom etiquette?

When I go to the bathroom I go to do one of two things.. or fix my hair. I don't go to the bathroom in hopes of making new friends, receiving a compliment, or having some full blown conversation with a stranger about how their day sucks.

Every day me or one of the girls from work goes to the bathroom and without fail some random woman tries to spark up some conversation. "I love that shirt" "Wow what a day today huh?" "Ahh I have the worst headache today!" "Where did you get that necklace?" All these are said during washing my hands, fresh out of the stall... or the "Love the shoes" while awkwardly taking a pee. I cant ever respond in a non- awkward, weird look on my face sort of way! I just half smile or nod, or say my "I know, huh!" line.

Most of these people don't even work in close range so why they think we automatically have things in common boggles my mind!

On another note. Why would you want to have a convo on the phone with someone in the bathroom? I mean there are times I'm sitting there trying to do business and someone is sitting on the counter jabbing away! First off I don't think everyone wants to hear about how you cheated on your boyfriend!

Last.. but surely not least.. if you cant hold back the "reactions" of how your "feeling" Could you just wait til you get to the privacy of your own home! I'm not talking about the uncontrolled actions, that sometimes cause us an embarrassing moment.. but "voicing" them is a little uncomfortable for everyone, because we really don't know whats really going on in there!

Its a different story when your in high school, at a club, and going as a group... that's kind of the reason, but when I'm in a public restroom minding my own business.. it gets a little weird!

Maybe if they had a hang out lounge, like the mother's lounge, a vending machine and a TV it would be somewhat normal and cool.. hmm I'm going to think intensely on that thought for a while, could be the next big thing for public restrooms!
