Is it weird to have a conversation with some when they are in the bathroom (toilet)? I dont have an issue with it at home, its the perfect way to corner my DH when I want to ask him something lol!!

BUT at work? A lady at my work does it and I think its weird/uncomforatble

WDYT??

I agree with Stellajoy, I hate having conversations while on the loo, even at home.

So yes very weird to have a co-worker doing it rolleyes.gif

YES!! it's weird to have conversations while you are doing your business especially in a work toilet!!

I've been in this situation couple of times. My BFF and once a colleague of mine. Obviously I wasnt the one to initiate the conservation but I felt obligated to answer. I thought it would have been more awkward to not reply shrug.gif

I prefer my privacy when I enter the loo and shut the door. I think it is a bit gross carrying out a conversation while emptying out your bowels. The conversation can wait imo!

My 3 year old does this to me, that is OK because she is 3. Once the director of my company did this to me, that was not OK. The man has many issues with boundaries, not sexual or anything just in an over sharing kind of way. Though can make the work place entertaining, especially with new staff, after a while we get used to it and he doesn't come in that much anymore.

Depends on who you are talking to.

Young kids, not a problem - my girls are chatty original.gif Actually, if DD3 doesn't have someone to talk to, she tends to sing LOL

But work discussion etc ... gee, it can wait a few minutes please!!

I have no issue with it. biggrin.gif

I should say, I have no issue continuing a conversation which has already started. I wouldn't start a new one though.
