Restroom Talking

I was traveling down the interstate to visit a friend. Half way through, I needed to use the restroom really badly, so I stopped at a rest area. 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 and I don’t know what got into me, but I answered, somewhat embarrassed, “Doin’ just fine!” So the other guy says “So what are you up to?”

What kind of question is that? By this point, I’m thinking it’s pretty bizarre that a stranger expects to conversate while taking a dump so I replied “Uhhh I’m probably like you, just travelling?” At this point I wanted to get the hell out of there as fast as I could when the dude asked another question… “‘Can I come over?”

Well, this question is just too weird for me. Like, WTF! But I figured I could just be polite and end the conversation. I tell them“Nah man, I’m a little busy right now!”

Right then, dead silence… then I heard the person said (kinda nervously) “Listen, I’ll have to call you back. There’s an idiot in the other stall who keeps answering all my questions.”
