Cellphones

I was recently returning home from a meeting out of town, and I decided I needed to stop at one of those rest areas on the side of the road. I go into the washroom. The first stall is taken, so I go into the second stall. I had just sat down when I hear a voice from the other stall............

"Hi there, how is it going?"

Okay, I am not the type to strike up conversations with strangers in washrooms on the side of the road. I didn't know what to say, so finally I say:

"Not bad............"

Then the voice says: "So, what are you doing?"

I am starting to find this a bit weird, but I say: "Well, I'm on my way back home from the beach"

Then I hear the person, all flustered, say: "Look, I'll call you back-------every time I ask you a question-this idiot in the next stall keeps answering me!"
