For some reason people at work like to talk about me and pass on nasty gossip. I don't think I am that interesting but some people seem to think so because they are always talking trash about me!

Anyway, I was sitting on the biffer in our company restroom doing my business and three of my coworkers come in. As they stand at the mirror they did not bother to see if anyone else was using the rest room because they were gossiping like crazy about me and a couple other people. One was passing some complete lies about me and the other ones were laughing. I heard from a friend other people were passing the same lie about me around the office they had heard from the guy in the restroom.

Should I tell the three guys in the rest room I over heard them talk about me? They never saw me in the bathroom.

The best thing you could have done was flushed and walked out while they were there.

I agree. Not say a word to them.

There seems to be some precedent being set for a sub forum devoted to the dilemmas encountered in workplace bathrooms. Number twos, number ones, farting noises, absences from the desk due to frequent visits to the facilities, overuse of employer-provided toilet tissue, employees taking daily newspapers into cubicles and leaving them strewn all over when the job at hand is done, urinals versus closed stalls, discussions about what to eat or not eat during the working day in order to eliminate some rather nasty eliminations resulting from intake ... etc.

I definitely concur that the forum administrators should consider a Work and Employment sub-forum dedicated to "Workplace Bathroom Issues" or something similar. No doubt it would be a very popular site for interested posters to either sit and discuss the latest poop or stand and shoot points of view without making a dribbly mess.
