Do you answer your cell phone in the bathroom?

Boot · 09-01-2006, 09:49 AM

Turns out the guy in the next stall wasn't crazy... he was just... on the PHONE?!?

Someone please help me understand.

Negative, on the phone in the bathroom. I have seen more than enough people talk on the phone while standing at the urinal :/

Pee time is 'me' time.

Poo time is .. not 'you' time.

So, no.

Ironically, this just came up here at work a few weeks ago. There are actually now signs outside the restroom doors saying 'Out of courtesy and respect for your co-workers, please refrain from using phones in the rest room'.

It takes everything I have to not burst out laughing when one of my co-workers answers the phone while taking a crap.

I voted yes. I work in operations 24/7. So whenever my cell phone rings, it's bound to be crap anyway.

But at work I HAVE to answer my radio when called. We call it the echo chamber because everyone knows where you are when you answer.

I have refrained from voting due to the word "public" in the poll.

**Grunt 70** · 09-01-2006, 01:12 PM

I gave up a cell phone last year when I stopped travelling so much for my job. When I do travel I'll take a company loaned cellphone but I would never answer it in the toilet...I mean some things are just too sacred...besides...that's my reading time not my talking time.

**CingularDuality** · 09-01-2006, 01:35 PM

Nope. That's what voicemail is for. It can wait a couple of minutes...

Wolfseven · 09-01-2006, 02:16 PM

Yes, I have been known to answer; now with all the games I downloaded, I just sit back relax and play away while I grunt.

Exactly, I think this goes for most public settings.

That's negative on my part. I've also worked Ops 24/7, but I'm not as dedicated as Blonov.

Cheers.

I don't even take my cell into the can...

Nothing better than answering your phone in the can and having the following conversation:
You: Hello?
Friend: Sup man, what are you up to?
You: Taking a (wicked deuce/huge leak) at (insert place here).
Friend: Dude.....seriously....
You: What?! I'm serious.
Friend: I didnt need to know that man.
You: You asked bro.
Friend: Why couldnt you have just called back after you got out of the bathroom?
You: Cause the phone vibrating was bothering me, plus you would've been like "why didnt you answer?"
Friend: True. Good point.
You: So whats up?
Friend: Nothing...
Etc, etc, etc.
