And this newer lady working there seems to think that's "too much information" and that I should just say "I'm unavailable" or whatever.

Which, like I try to be sensitive to other peoples sensitivities but that just seems a bit unreasonable to me. Part of the reason I say restroom is so people a) know why I'm indisposed and don't think I'm just fucking around in the back b) if they really need ASAP they can head to near where the bathrooms are to meet me.

If someone says they need to go to the bathroom while I'm hanging with them my head isn't immediately filled with images of them squeezing turds out of their Doo Doo ass.

Also doesn't help this lady hasn't even been here long and already have a reputation for starting arguments and drama for very inconsequential things so I almost half suspect she's feigning disgust just to have something to complain about.

Idk I guess this is just an AITA post

I think you're fine, I'm more of an "in unavailable" person but if I had a reason to feel like people wouldn't respect that I guess I'd be more specific.

If it's a situation where you think someone would want to meet you asap at the restroom door, that makes sense too, although my preference is that I'd go and find the caller when I'm done.

None of this is worth making a scene over.

The thing is if someone really needs you and you just give an generic "unavailable" they often start questioning why you're unavailable cuz they suspect you're BSing.

If I make it clear I'm in the middle of defecating when I'm called people know they're gonna have to be fucking patient.

Sounds like the precedent has been set, then
