Bathroom etiquette

It’s always awkward when you inadvertently head to the bathroom the same time as your boss … especially when you’re an intern.

What do you do? What’s the protocol?

Smile and think of something (un-bathroom realted) to talk about?

Does the conversation continue once you’ve locked the bathroom stall door?

If you do keep talking, should you keep it serious or go for a funny side note? Anecdote?

What about if you finish first? Wash your hands and walk out? Stall with hair fluffing and wait for her to come out too?

Sigh … where’s one of those etiquette hand guides when you need it?

Old Friends/Complete Strangers

Just had one of those horribly awkward encounters where someone comes up to you and starts chatting like she’s one of your oldest friends, but you (or, in this case, I) have no idea who the heck it is.

I scraped by with a few nods and smiles and then managed to get away with both of our senses of dignity intact.
