Next Stall

I was barely sitting down when I heard a voice from the other stall saying: “Hi, how are you?”

I’m not the type to start a conversation in the restroom. I don’t know what got into me, but 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 sitting here.”

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. I figured I could politely end the conversation. I say: “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 next stall who keeps answering all my questions.”
