Greetings from Behind Door Number Two

Things I have never encountered in the “women’s”: singing; urinals or their corollary, urinal farting; whispering; thigh drumming (really?); or comedy.

I have encountered talking, which takes on two guises:

  • Friends and Family - Women often visit restrooms in groups or with children. We just keep on talking, whether it’s standing in line for a stall, washing up, or helping kids do their business.
  • Helpful Talk - I think that stall is empty. That one doesn’t have any toilet paper. Can you pass me some toilet paper? Does anyone have any toilet paper? Does anyone have tissues in their purse? Are there any paper towels someone could hand me? You’re kidding? Only hand driers? Crap!
