I make it a habit to say nothing more than hello or goodbye when I am in the rest room. I'm not in there to have a chat!

Never worked at a place where guys "gossip" in the bathroom. The guys that do gossip seem to be effeminate or metro, still retaining that highschool herd mentality.

Nobody keeps to themselves anymore these days, but I guess one's life has to be THAT boring and unfufilling to talk smack with lies.

OP,

let that go. Don't even say one word to them. Nothing unusual about that situation. People do it all of the time. Don't say a word to them.

Good to know who your enemies are. If you enjoy your job just keep focused on that and the companies goals. The others are digging themselves a hole - one day it'll be their boss on the other side of the door.

People want to believe the gossip about you and will remember the negatives they heard far more often than the positives. Since the event the gossip these people have spead about me is now known by pretty much everyone in the office. My boss is starting to ask me questions.

As Herman Cain, just because someone accuses you of something you are held responsible. As the gossip has grown most people assume it has to be at least partially correct!

I respectfully disagree, which means I will not be using such words as "seriously?" , "really?" or "you've got to be kidding"! I disagree because these bathroom posts are just temporary, started by the infamous #2 thread, and haven't been thread subjects regularly. If one were to look back over the last year, I bet bathroom discussion was pretty much nonexistent except for the occassional post here and there.
