For your consideration...

I want to say something. I'm gonna put it out there; if you like it, you can take it, if you don't, send it right back. Go ahead and discuss in the comments section (if you've never commented before, now is your chance to shake the dust off the ol' keyboard and have your say.)

Talking to someone in a public restroom: cool, or not cool? Is it different whether you're a male or a female? Is it different whether you know the person or not? Is it different whether you're both in stalls or both in urinals or one is at one and one is at the other or someone is at the sink? Or both are at the sink?

Here's a sample scenario: you're a dude at the urinal and another dude you know sets up shop at the urinal next to you and he turns to you and starts talking about work or something. Uncomfortable? Or cool?

Discuss.
