Today, I was in a public restroom when the girl in the stall next to me started asking me how I was doing. Thinking it was weird but not wanting to be rude, I answered her questions. Halfway though our conversation she said: "Hold on, the girl in the stall next to me thinks I'm talking to her." FML

I think this one is especially funny though, just because the girl next to her was on the phone in a public bathroom stall. Seriously, fuck that other girl's life, for being a creeper weirdo.
Yup, just put "Hold on, the girl in the stall next to me thinks I'm talking to her." under the quotation marks in Google ^^
Lawl, Ive read this FML in a magzine or on a website or something years ago cause I totally remember it from somewhere....

im pretty sure there have been like 5 fmls like this
and its in magazines and has been a joke for a while
im gonna call you on it cuz of that
oh and the slim to none chance that this is real its a
total YDI for being completely ignorant of the oldest
joke since cell phones
so yeah
Yeah, some people don't get how nasty it is to talk on the phone while you're going to the bathroom. Nobody wants to hear you pushing over the phone. Hang up and call back in 5 minutes when you're done and have washed your nasty hands.
it wouldnt be halfway through the convo like you say, unless you guys kept talking. which would be super awkward

Agreeeee #1. There are so many FML's like this now. Be original next time, thanks
#2 - On 06/25/2009 at 6:12am by AndreaKina
i think its all a conspiracy.
because so many shitty fmls get put through when everyone submits great ones.
i reckon that its just the moderators that post these ( the people that run the site, not those that vote on fmls to be submitted or w.e)
i mean seriously, the people that wrote them never reply to any of the questions in the comments anyway.
correct me if im obviously wrong but i dont think this site is completely for real.
#4 - On 06/25/2009 at 6:17am by penizulaface
It's not completely for real, but have you ever moderated? There's a ton of FMLs. I don't think they can get to all of them.
I agree that this one shouldn't have been posted. It IS one of the better versions, but I think it'll exasperate most of us.
I agree. There are so many shitty FML's posted when I see plenty of good FML's that aren't.
#50 - On 06/25/2009 at 9:35am by genius_man16
one of the better versions? how many different versions of this can you get? either its a guy or its a girl. thats about it.
#58 - On 06/25/2009 at 10:38am by alyssamarie218
Just because it's the same as in a joke, doesn't mean it isn't real. A couple of times I've accidentally responded to somebody wearing a very small bluetooth that I didn't notice and I thought they were talking to me. This kinda stuff happens.
I'm sure you'll find the same stories over and over again if you're a regular. I personally haven't seen this one so jeez, give her a break
dude, that's a joke probably older than I am, an d I'm nearly 20
#33 - On 06/25/2009 at 7:55am by TheBigGamer
... because he was definitely being literal when he said "probably".
#36 - On 06/25/2009 at 8:06am by penizulaface
You may very well get a lot of YDI votes. Perhaps more than YLIF votes.
Screw them. Assuming this really happened, **** the person in the stall next to you's life.
People who talk on cell phones in public places should be shot.
You don't know who is talking to you. You don't know who is freakin' insane.
Cell phone use in public is evil.

"People who talk on cell phones in public places should be shot."
public RESTROOMS, yes. public in general? no.
#93 - On 06/26/2009 at 8:08pm by diet_otaku
This is a new twist on the situation, though. Usually when you see these the person should have noticed that the person "talking to them" was on the phone.
Old, but that doesn't take away from the epic /ew/ factor. Why would you talk on the phone in the can? OTL
*SMH* some of these FML's are so stupid I really can't figure how dome of my fml's are always rejected.
For ex: Today, I got laid off from my job by my new boss. Not sure which is worst, the fact that my new boss was my best friend who just got promoted thanks to my constant pushing. Or the fact that he said I was being let go because I took long lunches. Which he was with me on. FML
haha I love it... people can be so stupid sometimes...
#20 - On 06/25/2009 at 6:54am by softballplaya822
to me, it is so gross and disguisting as to why someone would talk on their phone while going to the bathroom. Especilly public ones where you can hear all of the toilets flushing and what not. grossest out!
#21 - On 06/25/2009 at 6:54am by sharkshaveteeth
If someone asks something like that and I think it's weird they are talking to me, I just wait a bit and see if someone else talks or they ask again or whatever.
LOL well y the fuck wud u think tht sum1 wuz talking to u in the bathroom?! ppl have cell phones u know! i always just assume theyre not talking to me until they repeat themselves.
#23 - On 06/25/2009 at 6:58am by TheAmazing
Ugh. This has happened to me. Not that I thought they were talking to me, but people talking on their phone in the bathroom. Wtf?! No one wants to hear you peeing.
And TheAmazing, that was really fucking difficult to read. I hope you don't write your papers for classes like that. >.>
Whatever ... Eff the person on the phones life, now they know there talking to someone whose on the toilet.
#26 - On 06/25/2009 at 7:27am by HeyThereGorgeous
Now this is why you do not take your phone to the restroom
Although it's a world old joke...
#28 - On 06/25/2009 at 7:33am by 4ube
Didn't this same FML get posted like a week or two ago but with a guy instead?
#29 - On 06/25/2009 at 7:41am by turnedoffTVgrey
This is also the same reason people shouldn't have bluetooths. All the time, I get in fake conversations that ACTUALLY MAKE SENSE with people on a bluetooth. It usually takes about 30 seconds for me to realize they aren't talking to me, because they couldn't take the one second to say "phone call".
Who cares if it was unoriginal. The execution of the joke was well done and it got me giggling for a minute.
I've never heard that joke before and I like to think it's true...
Funniest story I've ever heard!!! Why would you speak on your phone in the toilet though?
#34 - On 06/25/2009 at 7:58am by lawdylawdylawdy
It's quite funny yes, but it would have been even funnier to say "Who the hell talks on the phone while they're taking a shit?!" It's a bit nasty to do that reguardless.
#37 - On 06/25/2009 at 8:20am by hockey_chick
Who talks on the phone in the bathroom?! I don't because everyone can hear your conversation and what you're saying, doesn't make any sense. FYL
#39 - On 06/25/2009 at 8:26am by scateice
More like FHL, for not having the common courtesy to not call up all her friends while she's taking a shit/piss. Gross!
Come on, guys, this is totally new! Every other of the 10000000000 times I've heard this joke, it took place in a MEN'S bathroom.
The same thing happened to me once, it was sooo embarassing. Turns out the girl was on her cell phone.
#44 - On 06/25/2009 at 8:42am by RedHot_105
yea they are right...... it is OLD. but if this was real... i would say FYL.... i hate those bluetooth things... a similar story happened to me before.
#45 - On 06/25/2009 at 8:44am by Orangeman69
you deserved that one, tbh. people are rude and would never talk to anyone in public anymore. it's the truth. welcome to 2009.
#46 - On 06/25/2009 at 8:46am by muffinsareyummy
On the flip side: if this ever actually happens to you, just start screaming "who the fuck are you talking to you, you weirdo? Get the fuck off your cell phone, I refuse to be an internet cliche!"
Awhh.. I thought this was hilarious until I read the mean comments...thanks guys...
#51 - On 06/25/2009 at 9:38am by greengoo107
I hate when people talk on the phone or just talk to each other while using the bathroom! It's so disgusting. At least you're a nice person who didn't want to be rude to her. She's crazy and gross and whoever she was talking to who would LISTEN to her from the stall is just as bad.
Who talks to someone when they're on the bathroom? Seriously, can't you go FIVE minutes without talking to someone. And who would want to talk to someone who's going to the bathroom??
#54 - On 06/25/2009 at 10:02am by unluckydavid
Well WTF kind of phone would completely smash from the impact of being dropped? & Now you've posted this, they'll reckon most of yours are fake. Ruhtard.
Sorry, folks, I know this is a story that has been going around for a while, but it actually happened to me in the summer of 2001. However, the girl in the stall kept saying "Hello? Hello? Who's there?" and I kept saying "Hi, it's me" because she seemed to want to find out who was in the bathroom with her. Once I realized that she was talking on a cell phone and not to me, I washed my hands and left, a little weirded out by the thought of someone holding a conversation on a cell phone while on the john and embarrassed by my insistent replies of "It's me!".
talking in the bathroom is bad enough, but on the phone while going is just retarded.
#62 - On 06/25/2009 at 12:20pm by omnivector
It is fuck MY life.. not fuck online an unoriginal jokes` life
#63 - On 06/25/2009 at 12:24pm by nwtarja4u
Hmmmm, I've heard this somewhere before........Oh yeah, someone told me this awful joke, what do you know? This is it....exactly. If you want to post a FML, make it at least semi original.
#64 - On 06/25/2009 at 1:14pm by AyeOhChelsea
I've been telling this joke for years. FAIL! Whoever moderated this should be slapped.
#65 - On 06/25/2009 at 1:16pm by deweyd8855
i think it's really weird and gross that people talk on the phone while they're going to the bathroom. ewww....
I don't think this happened to you, but I know today while on my break I was waiting for the bathroom when from behind the door me and 10 other staff heard this woman talking on her cell while on the tolet. that's so weird.
#67 - On 06/25/2009 at 2:21pm by idrivefast
"Girls go to bathrooms in groups of more than 2" just took on a new meaning
who the fuck talks and pisses?
way to be unoriginal and take this from someone else....shame on you
#71 - On 06/25/2009 at 5:27pm by Ashley_Kretz
That is so disgusting to use your phone while you're on the shitter. Ewww people these days can't put down electronics for a second.
#74 - On 06/25/2009 at 6:47pm by lowcapacityx
Fake or not, still gross to talk on the phone while in the restroom
#78 - On 06/25/2009 at 9:51pm by tab_ga1990
what the hell, who talks on the phone while their taking a dumb. girl better learn to be normal.
#79 - On 06/25/2009 at 10:02pm by youngdriver
i've read this everywhere, ever.
but anyways, that's really gross, not only that she was on the phone in the stall but that she admitted it to the other person. if that happened to me, i'd be like, then don't talk on your phone while taking a piss IN PUBLIC, freak.
#80 - On 06/25/2009 at 10:49pm by starvingxartist
That's been done. This isn't FML, it was stolen off someone. I first saw this years ago.
#82 - On 06/26/2009 at 12:43am by danineteen
if it isnt fake: who the fuck talks on the phone while on the toilet???
#84 - On 06/26/2009 at 3:31am by crvenazvezda
yes its an old joke but if it did actually happen youd just be like who the hell goes to the bathroom and talks on the phone at the same time. thats just creepy
#89 - On 06/26/2009 at 9:24am by IMperfection_101
Damn it, why do people talk on their phones in the bathroom...?
Sometimes I wonder why I don't just kick their stall door in, snag the phone, then plop it in the water.
#94 - On 06/27/2009 at 12:01am by philosopher
halfway through your conversation? really?....so you continued to talk to her after that....
also fake but funny....
This is why I hate people that talk on the phone in public bathrooms. People would do that in my college dorm, and it would bug the crap out of me. (Not literally, and no pun intended.)
I've never responded or thought they were talking to me, (if so, I would have ignored them,) but still. It's just annoying to have to listen to another person's half-conversation while you're on the crapper.
#98 - On 06/28/2009 at 4:57pm by QueenOfMelodrama
How can you be half-way through the conversation if it's OBVIOUS it ended right there? Baha.
#99 - On 06/28/2009 at 10:50pm by annaattack
this happens to me often. =/
my friend stays with me a lot...and she and her bf call each other at random hours in the night....and usually i don't know it. so when she is talkin to him i'm talkin to her...either she doesn't hear me or she just ignores me. but when it gets to the part where she starts saying "i miss you too babe.....i love you with all my heart too babe.....I wish I was there with you too hun..." i realize that she isn't talking to me....at least I hope she isn't. =p
#100 - On 06/29/2009 at 2:30am by ditzykayla
Eww, who in their right mind talks on the phone in a public restroom? How rude is it to make the person on the other end of the line listen to toilets flushing and people taking a shit?
This, almost word for word, just like another internet joke that has been circling the 'net for over ten years.
apparently i live under a rock cuz i never heard this one before. i found it hilarious..
