You learn something new everyday...

And here's what I learned about myself today: I get suddenly body-shy (or maybe bodily function shy) if there's a cell phone in the bathroom!

I went to the ladies' room at work a few minutes ago, and went into my favorite stall (no, I'm not that anal -- this one has a toilet paper dispenser AND a door that both work!). The person in the stall next to me was conversing on her cell phone.

Now, I don't have strong feelings about such things; I personally don't do it, because I figure not many people should have to listen to me pee and flush. But whatever, before today I would've said it didn't really bother me. I'm certainly not bothered by people in the other stalls, and frequently carry on conversations with them.

But I suddenly found myself having a really hard time "relaxing" enough to pee! It was very bizarre!
