WTF do people do in the bathroom....

As a follow-up to my previous post, I am now sitting on the floor of Jacksonville airport, a few minutes ago I was taking a pause at the bathrooms. Washing my face with the boiling hot water.... not too pleasant, not even the option of cold water - anyway.
And as I stand there, by the small rest area, I hear the dribbling of someone beginning to urinate at the same time as: "hi love, hello, can you hear me. is that better? hi. i'm at the airport, got out of class early...." and there is another example of things that people do in the restrooms, that amaze me. A guy pissing, supporting a suitcase around one shoulder, holding the device of urine emission with one hand, holding a bag with the other hand and radically cranking his head and neck to one side in order to hold the phone.
It really wouldn't be too difficult to put down the bags, urinate for 30 seconds, then call your girl!!!
People are amazing.

WTF Do People Do In The Bathroom?

More specifically in the shitter!
I just went to the restroom here, in my department, and noticed that one of the stall doors was closed and a foot with flip-flops (and socks! must be American) was visible at the bottom. But no sound whatsoever. I relieved myself, happily, and still, not a sound. No newspaper rustling, no coughing, no wiping sounds.... silence. I don't particularly enjoy sitting on the toilet, if I want to read something I shit and then go sit or lie down comfortably. Why would I want to read something while sitting on porcelain or plastic with my ass through a hole??? It really isn't the most comfortable place.... am I in the minority????
