As many of you have come to realize, I have several pet-peeves. One such peeve is when people try to carry on a conversation with someone who is in the restroom. I believe if someone is in the potty they should be left alone. It's a concept that my lovely children just can't seem to grasp. From the number of people I've heard talking on their cell phones in public restrooms I was beginning to think I was the only one who felt this way. Today I overheard a conversation that let me know I'm not alone.
From one stall: Daughter - "Hey Mom are you going to lift weighs today?"
From other stall: Mom- "What? Don't talk to me right now."
Daughter - "Why?"
Mom - "I can't concentrate!"
Daughter -(sarcastically) "Can't concentrate on what? Peeing?"
Mom - "Shut up!"
I found the whole thing quite amusing but now have to accept that my kids may never get it.
(By the way if I call you while you're in the restroom please don't answer the phone. If I hear the toilet flush in the background I'll lose complete respect for you and may not be able to talk to you again. Unless that's your goal, don't do it.)
