Does anyone else find it weird when their coworkers try to hold conversations in the bathroom or am I the weird one?

And I don’t mean at the sink. I mean while one of you is actually using the restroom.

I’m fine with a “hey how are you?” in passing, but to actually try to have a real conversation mid-stream/dook seems a bit weird right? Is it just an old school thing, because I notice it tends to be older coworkers who initiate this?

    I don’t do it, but don’t find it weird that others do it.

    I always tell people, “dont talk to me while I’m touching my dick. That’s weird.”

    I’m fine with a little urinal talk (I am that older co-worker). But if the stall door has been closed for more than 3 seconds the talk is over.

    Guys who answer the phone and hold a convo in mid-grunt in a work restroom amaze me.

    I think there’s a big difference between 1 and 2 for these scenarios.

    Whiz: I have no problem with. Although it’s very rude to have a conversation past the guy in the middle.

    Dump: That gets a “I’ll get back to you when I’m done in here.”

    They are trying to cover up the sounds of biology. Don’t shame them further just be cool. Everyone is insecurities, you don’t need to challenge them or fix them.
