Women who are strangers in bathroom stalls next to each other may carry on long conversations
but they're not in code, and they're not about sex, and I don't think men would begin to understand how we do it. :shrug:

1. Men do not speak in the bathroom.
Sometimes we will talk while at the sink or something, but never in the stalls. Never. Unless there is no TP in the stall you are using.

3. But the tapping and waving and foot position has meaning, eh?
I would never have guessed. I'm too busy fishing stuff out of my purse.

2. Yes. Women bond in the bathroom. But not in the sex way.
Or not that I've ever observed.

4. We'll share medical histories with strangers.
Bathrooms create a false sense of medical intimacy.

9. Actually, no, I've never done either of those things...
And now I couldn't....post menopausal and all that...

Of course I would have if I'd been asked while I still could, though...

:hi:

13. I've found women in the bathroom with an empty machine
just waiting for someone to come in with supplies... I keep my purse stocked for such occasions because its a terrible situation to be in.

14. You could more easily talk to a molting lobster
than to a man in the bathroom, with his armor around his ankles.

Men don't do bonding, especially in vulnerable situations.

15. Ugh, I hate that.
I'm pee shy enough as it is. Keep your TMI to yourself, honey.

(Rescuing someone who needs something is a totally different matter. But I can't stand the random chit-chat.)

21. Try asking if anyone has a tampon.
But use a falsetto voice.
