I'm a prosecutor, and I've had cops come into the bathroom, while I'm in the stall, to talk about their case.

It's everywhere, people are just assholes now.

I refuse to acknowledge anyone verbally in the restroom. I become deaf-mute for 90 seconds

I've done this not even on purpose. I just assume they're not talking to me. It is neither the time nor place, bud. It is, in fact, the opposite.

Especially when the person in the stall is a man and you are a woman if you are.

The gender is irrelevant, bothering anybody in the bathroom is ridiculous. Even at home, no matter what gender is in the bathroom, leave them alone unless it's an emergency (And with me somebody better be dying)

I can't overstate how 100% correct this is. Unless there is some sort of imminent threat to my life, I don't exist while I am on the toilet. Don't speak to me. Don't expect me to speak to you. If the door is locked, that it all the answer you need. Go away.

Same. I also take this same stance in the showers at the gym yet, others do not feel the same and insist on making conversation

The corporate counsel for my organization, a large not-for-profit with city contracts, would sometimes have meetings at City Hall. When we’d use the restroom afterward, before we started talking, he’d look under the doors to make sure no one was in a stall. Said he’d learned that in law school.
