Guy talking on his cell phone in the bathroom

Yeah a room with tiles from floor to ceiling dosen't have the best acoustics.

I've had people actually yell at me for using the bathroom because they're on their phone. I'll be chatting with a friend and they go apeshit on me. Y'know, "BE QUIET! I'M ON THE PHONE!" And in a noisy restroom no less.

Why they have to yak it up in a restroom is beyond me...

"I'm sorry that I'm using the restroom for its intended purpose."

Honestly, if you need to use your cell that badly, GO THE FUCK OUTSIDE!!!

I was at work in the public bathrooms (we have one in the cage but it was taken) anyway, I heard the woman next to me and she was making restaurant reservations while going to the bathroom! That to me is embarassing and kind of gross. I can't imagen being all business like while I am peeing. It was just weird. I wondered why she couldn't have waited until she got out of there...

That's when I start to sing Philip Sousa (any would do) at a loud volume (but not screaming), what can I say, that's how I work... what are they going to call the cops on me because I'm singing in the bathroom?

This only bothers me if there's only one stall in the bathroom, and some yahoo is using it to make a private phone call. (This happens quite often when I'm at the library.)

I'm with Draggar on this one. A rest room public or otherwise implies a reasonable amount of privacy. I feel a cell phone is a violation of that privacy. I've told friends to call me after they are done and I will not answer if I'm in there.
They may be having a private conversation, but what if you are having issues and then you hear "wow, did you hear that? Sounds like someone likes chili a lot". Then again, so many people are so attached to their phones, they won't put them down no matter where they are.

Right on. If I wanted my bowel movements broadcast to the world, I'd be in "special" porn. It's bad enough that public restrooms are designed for maximum echo, and it's even worse if you, like me, work at a place where your coworkers are constantly trying to strike up conversations when you're in there trying to do your thing in peace and quiet. I do not need my glorious symphony of nature sent out to some random stranger via the telephone.

It really bothers me when people talk on the phone in the bathroom. Most likely because I am a very private person and have a hard enough time using a public bathroom without being unwillingly included in someones conversation.

To me a bathroom is a utility room, not a social gathering place. What is so hard about going in and finishing your business then calling someone from outside of the bathroom?

[Pagan]

I'm with Draggar, too. And speaking as a fashion consultant on the receiving end of some of those phone calls....just....eeeew.

Actually they have the greatest acoustics....for singing. Not yakking up on a cell.

Thanks a lot! I just about gotten that damn thing exorcised from my brain!

Ah, Pagan, I do adore you. Walk into an empty bathroom and belt out "Nowhere Man" by the Beetles and it's just perfect.

I can guarantee, every time I go to take a leak, my stupid phone rings. Every. Single. Time. Most of the time I'll ignore it. Sometimes I'll pick up and say "callyourightback*Click*" and attempt to finish my business (for those of you who's been forced to pause, you know it's not easy trying to finish).

[Dreamstalker]

The bathroom is the one room here in the Hovel that I will *NOT* use a phone. If it rings when I'm in there, the machine will get it. If I'm talking and nature yells, I'll cal back.

Ditto.

The ex has no qualms about this and would talk to me while he's doing his business (on one memorable occasion he tried to carry on a call when he was taking a shower...am I a bad person for lamenting the lack of a Darwin Award tale out of that?). Sorry, a bathroom doesn't have a phone installed for a reason (well, a family friend does, but it's more for emergencies).
