Pardon if wrong, but could it be that you are all using the stalls and/or urinals that are closest to the door or the most convenient to get to? I doubt if people are seeking to commune with you, but one never knows. Myself, I tend to gravitate toward stalls/urinals that are among the farthest and I don’t seem to have that problem. I’ve never really thought about why I do it although I must have had a reason at the time. I guess this was the reason.

> **15 Ways to Annoy People in the Next Stall**
> 
> 1.) Cheer and clap loudly every time somebody breaks the silence with a bodily function noise.
> 
> 2.) Say, “Damn, this water’s cold!”
> 
> 3.) Drop a marble and say, “Oh shit, my glass eye!!”
> 
> 4.) Say, “Hmm, I’ve never seen that color before,. . .”
> 
> 5.) Grunt and strain real loud for 30 seconds and then drop a cantelope into the toilet bowl from a height of 6 feet. Sigh relaxingly.
> 
> 6.) Fill up a large flask with Mountain Dew. Squirt it erratically under the stall walls of your neighbors while yelling, Whoa! Easy boy!
> 
> 7.) Say, “Interesting. . . more floaters than sinkers.”
> 
> 8.) Using a small squeeze tube, spread peanut butter on a wad of toilet paper and drop the wad under the stall wall of your neighbor. Then say,Whoops, could you kick that back over here please?
> 
> 9.) Say, “C’mon Mr. Happy!! Don’t fall asleep on me!!”
> 
> 10.) Drop a D-cup bra on the floor under the stall where the person in the next stall can see it.
> 
> 11.) Stick your open palm under the stall wall and ask your neighbor, “May I borrow a highlighter?”
> 
> 12.) Say, “Uh oh, I knew I shouldn’t have put my lips on that.”
> 
> 1. Say, “Shoot, I knew that drain hole was a little too small. Now what am I gonna do?”
> 
> 14.) Play a well known drum cadence over and over again on your butt cheeks.
> 
> 15.) Lower a small mirror underneath the stall wall, adjust it so you can see your neighbor and say, “Peek-a-boo!”
