Dear Abby: Is it Ok to Talk on Cell While Peeing?
Permalink  
 

DEAR ABBY: Is it OK for a man to talk on his cellphone at the urinal in a public restroom, or for a woman to talk on the phone while using the toilet in one of the stalls?

Also, please remind everyone to wash their hands after using the restroom. -- RUSSELL IN RICHLAND, WASH.

DEAR RUSSELL: I can think of few things more unpleasant than conversing with someone with the sound of "running water" (or worse) in the background and toilets flushing. Why anyone would do this is beyond me. It's very rude.

And, while I can remind people about hand-washing until the cows come home, I'll suggest instead that men and women who use public restrooms not touch the door handle without a paper towel -- when available -- firmly in hand.

I had a telemarketer call me one time and she was obviously eating and chewing. I said, maybe you should finish your dinner before you make your sales calls! lol

I really don't give a rats arse if someone is peeing or pooing while using THEIR phone. Good grief.

I hate being in a stall next to someone on the phone.

 Me either.  And I've called my husband and he's answered, while in the loo.   Who cares.

I never take my phone in the bathroom with me.

I'm such a klutz, I'd be afraid of dropping it in the toilet.wink

I hate it when people talk on their phones in the bathroom. Or try to have conversations. There is nothing worse than peeing and a coworker trying to talk to you while you are in there. Public bathrooms should be a no talk zone!

I dont like talking to people when they are using the bathroom. I don't talk to people when I am using the bathroom.

I just don't like it. It makes me too self conscious.

If I realize someone is in the bathroom, I ask them to call me back.

And I am also afraid I will drop my phone in the toilet or sink like FWM.

 Exactly. A phone is minor compared to the other grossness's in a public restroom. doh

I'm a klutz as well. I had two phones in one hand (other hand holding more junk), reached into the bathroom to turn off the light (next to the stool) and dropped both of them into the loo. no 

Yup, bought two new phones the next day.

I think it depends on where you are & who you're talking to. I've been in the middle of a long conversation with my GF and asked her if she minded coming in the bathroom with me...but that's my house!

LOL. I have been known to put a caller on mute while I flushed. At home of course. wink

I've been known to take the phone with me into the bathroom at home and flush when talking to my mother. You know, just for shock value. Without skipping a beat, she'll ask if I feel better now.

One of the nurse anesthetists talks on her phone all the time in the bathroom. It's so annoying. We have two stalls and I'm sure the person on the other end can hear what she's doing as well as the person in the next stall.

 More than once I have ignored a co worker talking to me when I was in the restroom.  When they ask me the answer to their question (once I am out of the stall) I always say "what?  you were trying to talk to me when I was doing my business?" and then I giggle and walk away.

I am going to flush like crazy next time I'm in the stall next to the chatty nurse. I may even force a few farts.

Thank you!  Glad to know I'm not the only one who feels this way, Karl.  Honestly, I think many of them have to be made up or at least augmented with a LOT of artistic license by the creators of Dear Abby.  Or are people (other than Geeks, of course ) really that clueless/mean/dumb?

Just talk a lot! Say things like OMG That was a huge one I just pinched off! And it smells soooooooooo bad. Can you believe the smell of that thing? Wow, this bathroom is nasty. I'm not even sure they have soap here!

Or start having a conversation with yourself. Like you're talking to someone. A long drawn out one.
