Whistle While You Work

In the past, I've exhibited a tendency to sing while I'm on the toilet, but I'm usually in the confines of my own home. Only my roommates could hear me.

Today when I was peeing at work, I heard the woman next to me mumbling frantically to herself. I couldn't understand what she was saying, but boy was I curious. I'd be embarrassed to talk to myself while I was peeing in a public bathroom. I'm embarrassed to make any sounds at all while I'm peeing in a public bathroom.

It's also weird when my boss talks to me while I pee. Or while she pees. I just can't focus on being professional in that particular situation! I'd rather sing.

  1. I really love listening in to people's private conversations (whether they are in the bathroom, in line at the shopping mall, in the park or whatever). That is one reason I never have any kind of private convo in public...I never know what Nosey Parker is listening in!

    Also, I'm pretty sure your boss talking to you while you pee constitutes some form of harassment. You should sue. And give me half the money.

  2. You really need those Japanese toilets that sing for you at the press of a button.

  3. I once had a conversation with someone in a stall next to me while i was at the urinal. He starts talking to me (which i thought was kinda awkward) and its just pleasantries for a few minutes. Then it got weird. He started making no sense but I kept the conversation going. Finally, he opens the door of the stall and says to me, dude, I'm on the phone! I was so embarrassed I ran out of there without washing my hands.

  4. I miss our loud, inappropriate public conversations at the Retreat :(

    Manni, that story is hilarious.
