Sharp as a Marble
HomeAboutContactSyndicationLogin
 

So, I'm relaxing in the ladies' room, 'dropping off some friends at the community pool' when I hear the main door slam open, followed by hurried footsteps. I know this sound. It is the sound of a man who is five seconds from needing a shower and a clean set of boxers.

Oddly, mixed in with the sounds of discomfort and unbuckling pants is a slight, beeping noise. A familiar sound. One of a cellphone dialing a number.

The man in stall #1 actually made a phone call during a bout of explosive diarrhea. His "Hey, how are you doin'?" and "How is so and so?" was punctuated by grunts and some sounds I simply cannot describe without violating some decency law somewhere. He carried on a full conversation while doing his business, not caring one whit about the situation.

Then, someone else walks in to take a leak. Cellphone guy actually had to speak up over the, umm.. "noise" and said "I'm sorry. What did you say? I can't hear you real good hold on a second" and when Guy #2 was done doing #1, he said "Ok, now I can hear you".

I made sure I took a bit longer than necessary to avoid seeing him washing up lest I bust a rib laughing.

Ewwww! I am starting to long for the good old days when phones were anchored to the wall.

It's the bathroom. Quiet time. No chatting with neighboring stalls, yakking on the phone, etc. Knock it off, you clowns.

I also do my best to get in and out before I find out exactly who was loudly baking brownies. I know my coworkers poop, but I don't want to connect them directly with the sounds.

You are assuming that there was washing up to witness?
