office politics - a sensitive issue

there is nothing more annoying (we are sure there is, but it's all relative) than going to the toilet at work, and meeting a colleague who likes to have a good old chat/ bleat/ talk

we are not sure when this transition happened, but the toilet has become the new water cooler
the rule is that we're not there for the socialising, it's a different kind of business time... so having to carry a conversation after you have gone into your cubical is definitely a no go area. this is not a grey/ conscious matter.. it's a clear no

although google is not proving helpful, there are written rules and laws about this... and even if there weren't, it's plain wrong

off course, all rules are null and void if the other person is a hottie (especially if he happens to have a map of how to get out of prison tattoo)
