Socializing in the Loo

I was barely sitting down when I heard a voice from the other
stall saying:   "Hi, how are you?"
 
I'm not the type to start a conversation in the men's restroom
but I don't know what got into me, so I answered, somewhat embarrassed, "Doin' just fine!"
 
And the other guy says: "So what are you up to?"
 
What kind of question is that?  At that point, I'm thinking this
is too bizarre so I say:  "Uhhh, I'm like you, just traveling!"
 
At this point I am just trying to get out as fast as I can when I
hear another question.   "Can I come over?"
 
Ok, this question is just too weird for me but I figured I could
just be polite and end the conversation.  I tell him, "No..I'm a little busy right now!!!"
 
Then I hear the guy say nervously...
 
"Listen, I'll have to call you back.  There's an idiot in the other
stall who keeps answering all my questions!!!"
