Who talks on the phone in the bathroom?

[White92]

This is becoming increasingly worse in my office building. People go into the restroom to do their business and are also doing business on their cell phones.

I hate when I'm dropping the kids off at the pool and some real estate guy comes in working a deal on his phone. Do people on the other end not hear the echo off the walls or any other restroom associated noises? (ie: flushes, grunts, etc...)

If you can't even go to the bathroom without being on the phone, then maybe your life is just way too busy. They also usually leave without washing their hands, so be careful who's hand you're shaking the next time you're doing business.:wink:

I agree. I notice this alot at my place of business also. I hope that I NEVER become that busy in my life that I have to hold a phone conversation while "dropping the kids off at the pool". When they interrupt my peace and quite with their conversations in the RESTroom, I make sure to let out a few loud grunts!

 

[Da Hapa]

I think it's unbelievably rude (not to the other people using the toilet so much as the person that you're talking to) and just plain nasty.

Nobody is that important folks. Your phone business can wait 10 minutes while you take care of your other business.

 

[redshift]

I always talk to my friends while droppin' the kids off... only at home base though... never in the office. Come to think of it, I avoid office dropping altogether.

hahah..lol...this is a funny thread...:biggrin:

okay, im guilty of doing this but only when im at my house talking to my good friends..

it doesn't bother me when i go into a public restroom and i hear people on the phone...

Whats even worse is when someone comes in when your trying to do your business and starts talking to you.

THis should be a whole other topic but I usually have a certain stall that I consider my home away from home and there is a ritual that I go thru before doing my business. If there is a toilet seat liner aka a ass gasget available I use it if not then I must line the seat with paper. I also make something called a buddy guard which is just a couple of sheets of paper which line the front of the toliet just in case my buddy makes accidental contact with the front of the toilet. Then there is what I call the splash guard which is just a pillow of toilet paper which I drop in prior to my sitting to prevent splash up's when the by product hits the water. After all this is in place then business can commence and on that final note happy and safe droppings boys and girls. :biggrin:

LMAO... Baily you are 2 for 2.. You did it again.
Same ritual here, even though I avoid the away from home usage at all costs. Sometimes you just gotta go.
I never use the phone while on the toilet.
I hate when people use it in teller lines or checkout as well.

 

[zahntech]

What about those people that are so important that they need to have their phone attached to their ear at all times!!


they walk around like they are on star trek or something.

Or when two hot chicks play battleship in the ajoining stalls.

Okay, that makes sense. I guess I need to watch the entire movie. But then I'll have to fly up to NY for some sliders.

Osiris- methinks you didn't check the "MEN" or "WOMEN" sign on the door before you heard this conversation! :smile:

Wait a minute!! are you one of those people that washes their hands 200 times a day? :wink:

 

[rickysals]

I have done it.

(oh, and a recent study suggests that because of the lack of moisture, a toilet seat is one of the cleanest places in the restroom, along with the doorhandle everyone dreads.) the dirtiest place is the faucet knobs.

More importantly, how many forum threads were composed by someone sitting in the crapper w/ their laptop ? ( Not me:biggrin

 

[ParisModel]

Girls do this all the time. I even talk while I am in the shower...just put the phone on speaker. It really is a time issue...I am so busy that talking on the phone just meshes with my daily routine.

For a lack of a better word .... No im not that anal but the thought of my butt coming in contact with something that someone elses butt came in contact with I draw the line there. :biggrin:

I have to agree, there's nothing worse than when your "buddy" accidentally touches the porcelain. :frown:

 

[LJSB]

Reminds me of a section on the "Man Show" where a fellow in one stall offers a plate of brownies under the wall to the person in the next stall and asks, "would you like one?"
Another bit had him asking the fellow in the next stall :" I bet you can't guess my name?"

This is my exact ritual as well. This weekend I was in Chacigo and had to do the deed. I pulled out the seat liner and set it in place, turned around to drop the drawers and wooosh the auto flush sucked the seat liner down the drain. This seat liner came complete with a center section that hung down in the front and covered the bowl down into the water. It took me three tries before I was able to trick the auto flusher.
