I admit that I'm a bit on guard while pissing next to the guy talking to me. But that has less to do with my pissing and more to do with a stranger right next to me while I'm indisposed should he have an ulterior motive.
I've generally had some entertaining one-liner convos with drunkards. I'm not opposed to it.
