Am I the only one?

The restroom at work is typically crowded right before, during, and right after lunch time. So when I walked in around 1:00 today, I was pretty suprised to find it stark empty. I love it when there is no one in the restroom when I walk in, primarily because after listening to other people's conversations and dealing with crazy emails and phone calls during the day, it's nice to have a few seconds of just utter silence. So I walk in, close the stall door behind me, and am enjoying the already shortlived solitude, when all of a sudden, someone else walks in and uses the stall RIGHT NEXT TO ME. Now, there are like 8 stalls in the bathroom, and I chose one off to the side to do my business. Listening to other people pee is not my favorite thing to do, much less when it's less than a foot away when other stalls are available. I'm a big personal-space kinda gal, and stuff like that just really irritates me. Why would that person even wanna be close to me while I'm going potty? Please tell me this isn't some crazy-neurotic-OCD-phobia shit I've got going on here...

Sidebar: when I went to wash my hands, the aforementioned bathroom nemesis was washing hers too, and I couldn't help but notice the deodorant that was covering the entire righthand side of her shirt. Seriously woman, clean yourself up.
