You're washing your hands in a public restroom, and you're speaking to another person who's doing the same. As you speak to them, how do you make eye contact?

Just curious as to how many other people look at people's reflections in this situation. I used to have a roommate who was really freaked out whenever I'd try having a conversation to him while looking in a mirror. I suppose that I never really understood why. XD 
 
EDIT: Gah. Choice B should read, "I look directly at the other person as I speak to him/her."

First I would need to ask myself why I am in such a disgusting place.

Ah, I wasn't expecting anyone to do both. I should've included that as a choice.

I switch between the two, but mostly I look directly at whoever I'm talking to.

@natetodamax: It could be an airport washroom. I hear for security reasons they have to be kept clean and pristine.

I was having a conversation with someone at work whom I noticed wasn't looking at my reflection, and it felt weird having to look directly at the other person. I generally have no problem with making eye contact, so I'd say that it's more a matter of it seeming unnecessary that I turn my head fully to look at another person in that situation.

I don't really talk to people at the sink, but I think I would periodically glance at them.

C.  I don't look at them at all and communicate that I'm listening with body language (nodding my head, tilting my head to the side slightly now and then while keeping my eyes on my hands, etc.) and words of acknowledgement whenever they're speaking.  Eye contact may be forgone for a period if you're preoccupied with something that requires / that you prefer to give your attention.

I'm probably concentrating on my hands, and not making eye contact.  If I do, and am facing the mirror, I will probably look at their reflection. Otherwise, I will look at them.

In the weird case that such a thing would happen, I'd make direct eye contact. It's only polite.

Mirror. 
 
I don't mind talking to people in the bathroom at all. Even while pissing at the urinal.  The way I see it, if he wants to look at my junk, great.  If not, then great.  I know I'm straight and don't want to look at his junk so that is all that really matters.

I look straight into their eyes, run my hands down my chest to my fly and say, "Thanks", as I proceed to zip.

Hell. I don't even look at people when I talk. I usually look around or at the ground. Maybe I am just weird like that.

Trick Question. When in public restrooms, NEVER speak to anyone for any reason short of "Oh my, you're on fire" or "Is that a zombie?"
 
In fact in general I don't speak to strangers. I find that 99% of the strangers I end up speaking with are homeless, beggars or salespeople.

I normally don't talk to people in a public restroom. It's bad enough that I'm in one.

 The punishment for breaking said rule as explained in Rule #6 Section C Paragraph 2 is that your Man Card is temporarily revoked. Repeat offenders permanently lose their Man Card.
 
A man without his Man Card is nothing.

I traded my man card for some magic beans.  
 
I always make eye contact and don't break it, I don't even blink. Oblivion style.

I spin my eyes to confuse them and then make my escape.
