CINCINNATI (Wireless Flash) -- Imagine this: You're in a bathroom stall at work and one of your co-workers not only insists on talking to you through the door, but introduces you to a new colleague.
It's a crappy situation that actually happened to the employee of one high-tech company in California.

But it didn't have to. Business etiquette expert Ann Marie Sabath says it's extremely bad manners to talk to someone once they've entered a bathroom stall to do their business.

But if it happens to you, she says it's possible to politely get rid of your bathroom inquisitor by telling them, "I'll catch up with you in a few minutes."

That should be enough to give your co-worker the hint, but if it fails, firmly say "Let's continue this conversation later."

And if someone tries to introduce themselves to you while you're in the can, say "I'm looking forward to meeting you in a few minutes. I will introduce myself to you in the conference room."

Ten Ways to Annoy the person in the Next Toilet...

1. Grunt and strain real loud for 30 seconds and then drop a melon into the toilet bowl from a height of 6 feet. Sigh relaxingly.

2. Fill up a large flask with Lucozade. Squirt it erratically under the stall walls of your neighbours while yelling, "Whoa! Easy big boy!"

3. Cheer and clap loudly every time somebody breaks the silence with a bodily function noise.

4. Using a small squeeze tube, spread peanut butter on a wad of toilet paper and drop the wad under the stall wall of your neighbour. Then say, "Whoops, could you kick that back over here please"?

5. Say, "C'mon Mr. Happy!! Don't fall asleep on me!!"

6. Drop a D-cup bra on the floor under the stall where the person in the next stall can see it.

7. Say, "Damn, this water's cold!"

8. Say, "Hmm, I've never seen that colour before."

9. Say, "Interesting, more floaters than sinkers."

10. Drop a marble and say, "Oh noooo, my glass eye!!"

I find your list hilarious.
I'm *almost* ashamed that I'm thinking of trying some of those out....

haha ... someone is bored today

Oh my. LOL.

i would so have kicked that guys ass when i got out of the bathroom.

Or if the idiot still doesn't get it, you can fall back on the old standby and say, "Listen you stupid fuck, I'm trying to take a shit here. Why don't you and Butthead go play in traffic until I'm done?"

its polite to face the person who is talking to you.

Oh, of course. By all means, open the door to the stall before using that last one. It'll give them a good whiff of the message you're trying to get across...
