People, seriously. Phones do not belong in the bathroom. They didn't in the 1980s when it was all the rage to have a telephone jack within reaching-distance from the crapper. They still don't in 2011 where it's now apparently socially acceptable to take your cell phone into the public restroom. "But hey!" you retort, "It's not like I'm using it when I'm, you know, going." Yep. I get it. Except you're using it while I'm going. I don't need your boyfriend/BFF/work associate/dog-sitter/travel agent/mother to hear the melodious sounds of my tinkle hitting the toilet bowl. Nor do I need to be serenaded by your cackling conversations in the otherwise peaceful respite of the ladies room. Bag it when you hit the bathroom, ladies. Nothing's so important that it can't wait until you've washed your hands and are out the door.
Anyone else care to weigh in on this? Is there ever a good reason to take a call on the throne? And, guys, is this an issue for you, too?
I have given many a dirty look to girls who do this. ;)
ReplyDeleteI started replying to a lady as though she was talking to me rather than into her phone. About 3 responses in, she said, "I gotta go" and hung up. She gave me a crusty look and I sweetly remarked, "Oh. My apologies. It never occurred to me that someone would talk on the phone while using the ladies' room."
