Potty Talk

We had been shopping for what seemed like an eternity. Jeans. For Jordan. The girl is growing so fast. ANYWAY we were done, finally, and had to stop at Target for some Halloween supplies. J wants to be a witch for Halloween. I needed to use the ladies room. I walked in to what looked like an empty, but super stinky, but also clean looking, bathroom.

As i entered the stall i heard a voice from nowhere (VFN)

VFN: Hi, I am so sorry it stinks in here.
(silence. is she talking to me?)
VFN: hello? I am really embarrassed. I am so sorry.
Me: Are you talking to me?
VFN: well yes,I am so sorry this is so embarrassing.
(she IS talking to ME!!)
Me: Oh, well...it's OK
(trying to pee and get outta here crazy lady)
VFN: this has never happened to me. it's stuff you hear about happening but hope it never happens to you.
ME: yeah.
(I mean really what am I suppose to say?)
VFN: I just don't know what I ate, but it really made me sick....(she continues on for a little while)
(seriously? are we really having this conversation?)
ME: hmm, yeah that's not good.
(zipping my jeans and flushing...must. get. out. of. here.)
VFN: Oh this is just so embarrassing. It just hit me out of nowhere. I am just so embarrassed.
Me: Oh yea, me too, I'm sorry, I really don't know what to say. I am kinda still in shock that we are actually having this conversation.
VFN: oh I am sorry. I am just so embarrassed, I just can't stop talking.
(really? I hadn't noticed)
Me: No worries (washing hands and walking out the door) I am going now. I hope you feel better.
VFN: OK thanks, sorry again.
(get me outta here!)

ummmm YES this really just happened. I couldn't wait to tell Big Daddy all about it. He just kept saying, "wow really? Wow...that's crazy, wow!"

seriously, does this sort of thing happen to anyone else?

I've never had conversation with someone in the bathroom. Super freaky!

Becky said...

I don't know what's worse a smelly public bathroom or a half naked stranger talking to you in a smelly public bathroom. Lucky you! Thanks for the chuckle!!

Pam said...

hee hee hee! That is funny!

Pennies In My Pocket said...

ROTFL - I cannot believe this lady did this! No, this hasn't happened to me. I'm dying....too funny!

~melody~

Leeann said...

LOL That is hilarious! Poor lady.

hippos toes said...

never had a convo with a stranger in another stall. I've often thought to ask if they could "spare a square" if the roll was empty, but that's the extent of it! HA!! What a hoot. She gave you good blogging material.

banananutmeg said...

oh man...this kind of stuff ALWAYS happens to me! ALWAYS.

too funny.

Lilly's Life said...

That is crazy - perhaps she was so embarassed she just felt she had to say something...big mistake. poor you!

Weeksie50 said...

Girl, stuff like that happens to me all the time..

I have a big blinking sign on my head that beckons complete strangers to walk up to me and tell me all their business. Seriously. It happens all the time..

How embararrasing for you. I am glad you got out of there before you had to face her...lol.

Mother Goose said...

no, i hate public restrooms and i have to use them in a real emergency if I do use it.

I would have ignored her. I'm not one for conversing in the john. I have a purpose. I get in, and I get out.

Queen of the Mayhem said...

That is CRAZY! I have never had that conversation...but I have been struck with foul odors when I have walked into random bathrooms!


Oh...and there was the time I really had to pee in Hobby Lobby and they had closed the bathrooms because someone has spread poop all over the walls. That was a little odd! (EWWWWW!)

Kellan said...

That is crazy and no - that's never happened to me and I'd be fine if it never did - HA!

Have a good weekend - Kellan

Carrie said...

That is hilarious!

Carrie said...

Oh, I just saw your 'auto start play list free zone' thingy on the side there. Now, I'm laughing so hard I'd better go potty! Love the sign and really hate the auto play thing too.

Tonya said...

Ok that is probably, no that is definitely the funniest thing I have ever heard!

Smoochiefrog said...

Funny!

Never had that happen to me though.

Kelly said...

Wow seriously! That stuff doesn't happen to me. At least she didn't ask for toilet paper hee hee!

Andrea said...

HA!! I don't think that's normal...if it were me (the VFN, that is), I would rather just shut up and do what I needed to do than to actually talk about it.

What a laugh, though!

TattooedMinivanMom said...

EEEWWWWWW!!! A psycho and she's stinky!! Grooooooossssss!! I would have started making vomit noises and ran outta there!

TMI!

mommaof4wife2r said...

seriously???? what in the world was VFN thinking??

Jules said...

Some people are just "sharers". :)

I always hate when I enter a really stinky empty bathroom and leave just as someone comes in.. because I know they (incorrectly) think it was me..

What a funny thing to have happen! Definitely blogworthy!

Jen said...

Supercool Hotmama said...

Hmmmm, funny lady. When that's me, I try to lay low!

Stephanie said...

It's not that often that I laugh out loud at a post, but you got me on this one!!!

Shar said...

Did you at least wait around to see who came out of the bathroom?

Michelle said...

Holy cow........that is too funny! Don't people realize when they are in their stall no one can see them? Not to mention in your mind you just blame your stink on the person who came in before you! :)

Tiff said...

LOL no I haven't had the privalage of having a stinky conversation with a lady i have never met. LOL Only You Hollee Ann!

Dana said...

that is just so funny.... i would never talk if i had that problem..lol

Debbie Yost said...

I've BEEN in that crazy ladies shoes and the last thing I've wanted to do is TALK about it. Hey, it's a bathroom. Sure, I'd rather be in the privacy of my own home, but you can't always plan where it hits you! It's a risk you run when going into a bathroom.

Amy said...

This is so scary funny! Poor you!

Lindsay said...

Oh my, that's so outrageous it's unbelievable! If I were in that situation the LAST thing I'd be doing is talking about it. I'd be pulling my legs up off the ground hoping no one would notice I was there...

What a story for the fam!
