The other stall

Traveling down the interstate and needing to use the restroom, I stopped at a rest
area and headed to the restroom.
I was barely sitting down when I heard a
voice from the other stall say "Hi, how are
you?"
I'm not the type to start a conversation in the
restroom and I don't know what got into me, But
I answered, a little embarrassed, "just fine!"
And the other guy says: "What are you up to?"
What kind of question is that? At that point,
I'm thinking this is too bizarre so I say:
"Uhhh, I'm just traveling!"?
At this point I am just trying to get out
as fast as I can when I hear another question.
"Can I come over?"
Ok, this question is just too weird for me
but I figured I could just be polite and end the
conversation. I tell him "No..I'm a little busy
right now!!!"
Then I hear the person say nervously...
"Listen, I'll have to call you back. There's an
idiot in the other stall who keeps answering all
my questions.”
