Where are you going? Where have you been?

My roommate Wade and I are co-workers.  This occasionally becomes problematic when either of us wants time alone.  For as many environments as we find each other in together, he still feels the need to tell me when he goes somewhere.  Sometimes when I'm in the bathroom he stops to let me know that he's going to school, or to a friend's house, or wherever.

At first I found this behavior odd, perhaps because my family and friends are typically not the type to communicate to one another while in the bathroom, though I know that potty talk is fairly common in many circles.  But beyond where I was at the time he delivered his itinerary, I wondered why it mattered to me where he was headed.  Why go out of one's way to make public something so frivolous?

So I checked my Twitter account and realized more people know what I had for lunch than should ever give a damn.  From now on I'll just say, "Okay. Good bye."
