can i please pee in peace?

There are days when the only truly peaceful time I have is when I stand at the urinal and pee.

Today, like happens occasionally, somebody was at the next one over. If you know the person, it's OK to say "hey, 'sup" or some such, but that's about it. No talking shop or whatever.

What I cannot stand is the sudden blathering about the weather, or whatever, that somebody you don't know feels they have to do. Like happened today.

SHUT UP.

I am peeing here, leave me in peace to enjoy the bliss of emptying my bladder.

I have a similar pet peeve about elevators (although I usually don't pee in them). Just because there is silence does not mean you have to speak: I do not know you. We're all in here for the same reason, just keep your mouth shut.
