Disturbing News

[BadMagick]

This is disturbing ...


In 2000, a dumbfounding 39% of Americans thought it perfectly OK to talk on their mobiles while in rest rooms. By 2002, that acceptance has spiked to nearly half (47%).

Anyone ever overhear someone while using the facilities? Anyone ever talk to someone who was, or you were?

I'd like to hear some stories!!

Pointless thread #5 found on 9/2/03 :P

[eilsoe]

If I'm on the can, and my phone rings (I usually keep it in my pocket), I always press reject call.

I am NOT going to talk to someone while... driving my kids to the lake...

yeah... :beam:



(I don't have any kids, it's just an expression)

[mlk]

castin' some iron
letting the mole take a peek at the sun
chuckin' out a log

[eilsoe]

and dan, this isn't pointless, we're talking about cell phones on the can here, it's a valid subject for random :)

still, I think it's disgusting... eww...

[BadMagick]

Seriously man ... This is an interesting subject for a thread.

I usually turn my cell phone off when I know I'm going to the bathroom for a while. And if I forget and do get a call I quickly hit that reject call button. It's kinda degrading to the person you're talking to. I know I'd be insulted if someone talked to me while they dropped some friends off at the pool.

And wiping?! Don't get me started there!!! If someone wiped their ***, that'd be even worse!

"(ugh ... ahh) OK, hold on, I've got to wipe"

[RussianBeer]

me? Oh yeah, all the time.
Best time to call, I get my numbers all lined up to who I want to call, and then ring away while being on the can. I esspecialy love to talk to my gf. Then I call all my buddies and let them know, also I can keep them all updated on my 'progress' ahh.. its great..











uhh jk. :beam:

[Digigamer]

I won't do it but my family will sometimes :x . Esspecially my sister. yuck

[pinx]

oh my god, i totally talk to people while i'm doing my business.

[thoriphes]

mother called me once as i walked in the bathroom, so i just chilled in there and talked to her.

LOL, my sister calls it "dropping the kids off". It's funny because when she is going to be going for a long ride or is going to be going away for a while she goes "I gotta make sure I drop the kids off before I leave"...haha. I gotta tell her the lake one, she would love it.

As for talking on the phone in the loo, that is a big N-O for me, but I know a lot of people that do it ;(

[prstudio]

yeah ive wondered if the guy in the restroom was crazy or on the phone before...

[nobody]

Ugh my ex-friend type associate used to do it all the time with me and it disgusted me like you have no idea. I hung up on her like 5000 times.

[mdipi]

eww. man thats nastay. its like brining your notebook on the can and posting. meh i think its very degrading. i wouldnt do it and i dont want it done to me.

but what if it was like somone elses phone? can i use your phone? sure lemme just get on the can.

[BadMagick]

Speaking of posting while on the sh*tter, I recently stayed at a hotel with data ports in the bathroom alongside the toilet!

I think you have some serious problems if you use your laptop while on the john.

I look forward to taking a dump personally ... it's my chance to get away from everything! It's my time to myself, and I like it just like that - no interuptions. When else would I get a chance to talk to those voices in my head?

Heh heh, i like that one too! My mum uses the phrase "Im just gonna send a log to the sea side"

[asphaltcowboy]

I just say "I'm going to the toilet" - does that make me weird? :sure:

[SureShot]

When I'm "playing dump truck" I am not one of those people who like to sit there and read a magazine or see how long I can make it last, I like to do the business and get the heck out.

But on the topic of phone calls, yah I have talked on the phone while in the john - no big deal. As long as you arent making noises or flushing the toilet than what's the harmn, the other people dont have to know. Usually I talk better, I give them my undivided attention that way :)

Im not too big on talking on my phone in Public bathrooms, but do it all the time at my house.

I have some crazy serious intestinal thing going on and I drop 2-6 dueces a day.

It depends who im talking to also.

Fes-Depending on who you are talking to do you drop more dueces? Some people can just make you feel so sh|tty sometimes...

[fester8542]

ha ha,

No man. I meant it depends on who I am talking on the phone to, wheither or not I will take them into the hopper while I blow the place up.

I think I could do the sit and talk but the shower tower method would create too much background noise me thinks...

Not to mention the possiblity of dropping the phone in the pot...
