Probably.
Uhm, unless it’s the vagina that’s doing the talking, then you’re spending too much time in the women’s shitter listening to people live their lives…for fuck sakes already, get a fucken hobby. And men do it too when they’re sitting there having a crunch. Other than the unholy smell, yeah, can’t say I really give a fuck!
I’ve never really experienced a guy chatting it up on the phone whilst poopin’ in a public washroom. There is an unwritten code among men that when you go in the bathroom, you pay attention to your own business, get in and get the fuck out ASAP. Men’s rooms are not a place where people typically want to loiter, unless they’re hiding from bullies.
Now, some men don’t understand that if there are, say, three urinals … then you leave the middle one unoccupied if you are able. Those guys are just weird and have no concept of personal space. It’s like if someone got on an otherwise empty elevator with you and stood directly beside you and then took out their penis. Some people might be super happy with that, but I say leave room for Jesus to pee. It’s also funny, though, when there are only two urinals and you have to stand next to a guy and he like turns his body away as to hide his pickle. Like bro, I don’t want to see your dick. Nobody wants to see your dick. Women only marry men to protect other women from seeing too many dicks throughout their day.
TLDR; our struggles are all about hiding penis’ from each other, men don’t talk to each other or anyone else in the bathroom unless they are weird.
That’s nasty. Like, can’t anybody even put their stupid phone down while they’re taking a pee? And then there’s the hygiene factor – if they’re okay texting or talking with it in their hands while they’re on the john, you can bet your life they won’t be washing their hands after, either. YUCK. I don’t think men do it as often. I’m sure some do but then again I don’t watch or listen to other people when I’m in the public washroom. That’s what perverts and busybodies do.
I’m more grossed out by the lack of hand washing. Was at a bar last weekend and went to the washroom. Two 20-something guys were in adjacent stalls yakking back and forth – which is a bit weird – when did dudes start going to the can together? Anyway, one guy finished up and waited for the other – still yakking back and forth. Then they both just walked out. No hand washing! I hope I’m never introduced to them. I ain’t shakin’ them filthy hands!
People talking loudly on their cell anywhere is fucking annoying.
I was being silly btw
