I've never been one to chat in the restroom either, unless I'm with someone I know, and we're continuing the conversation that started outside.  I've always been a little baffled by people who strike up a conversation as we're washing hands. (Or worse, while you're in the stalls.  Really, unless the question is "Hey, do you have any toilet paper over there?  There's none over here," there is no excuse for starting a conversation over the toilet.) I usually just smile and make pleasant, noises as seems appropriate at the time (Ah?  Mmm-hmm. *polite laugh*) then try to make my escape as quickly as possible.

I find it interesting that while the ladies seem to be split on the issue, the guys all seem to be non-talkers by nature.

and why must you have a cold shoulder as a cyclist anwynn? i always found other cyclists to be really friendly and open people... and a japanese accent? ROFL

Oh trust me I love to talk.  And I consider myself very friendly, except for when I'm not.

But public restrooms make me nervous.  It's a combination of microbes everywhere, smelly bodyparts unleashed into the air, and that most mall-related assaults happen in public restrooms.  So, I'm always a bit on edge.
And yes, cyclists are nice but honestly it's friggin annoying when everyone only wants to talk about motorcycles.  If they're so curious, they should go get one themselves and see how long it takes before they get laid down.

'most mall related assaults' <-- the mens.

Meh, public loos yes, but then again i rarely use 'public' toilets, unless we count the loos around the campus at my university... but im sure they dont count as public. far too nice.

Nope. do my business. wash my hands & I'm outta there! 

Once or twice, when others have started conversations with me, but I'm still far too shy and insecure and sh*t-scared of being read to initiate any myself.

Hi Simone, nice to see you again, How are you doing? I pray all is well. Send Wing Walker and I an email if you wish. We are leaving for Montreal today but I will have my lap top with me.

Have a wonderful day

Cindy

If I'm out in town then I tend to use those ones that you put 20p in and that look like something out of Dr. Who... *giggles* a.k.a 'the Turdis'. So there's really only myself to talk to anyway. I like the privacy.

Hi Leiandra, Wing Walker and I are looking for software where we can record voice on a CD that can be downloaded and played by by way of a link. So maybe there will be a tiny voice from the great land of the BC rain forests on the airways soon. Well I do have a nice camera now to play with, thanks to Wing Walker, been a long time since I had me own play toys ta play with.

pantyliners?  wait wut?

I can't count the number of times I've been asked if I could spare one. I keep a couple at work too. Coworkers are always asking if I have one.

women must be more prepared in the uk, i've never been asked.

I never understood what Pantyliners are for lol

I only used pads for a time and just use toilet paper for a pantie liner. Work good enough.
