I was on a call yesterday and I really had to go the bathroom... so I muted the phone and tossed my headset onto my desk. Hoping they wouldn't ask for me while I was gone. While in the restroom... I saw a co-worker use the urinal while on a call, then keep talking on his call while he walked out... no flush... no hand wash.... just walked out and kept talking. I have never done this... and wondered if anybody else thinks this is as wrong...
Sometimes I pretend I'm using the bathroom when I'm not just to make the other caller uncomfortable.
But it's not a poll option.
yes, but on cordless phones, not bluetooth ;D
when you gotta go you gotta go.
Not only do I not do it, but when I see someone in the restroom with me I flush repeatably and try and make as rude a bodily noise as possible just so the other party on that call knows how they rate.
[laugh]
awesome
no blue tooth, i cant stand those things but while on the cell ive used the bathroom for whatever kind of phone call
I only use it in the car, I look nuts enough already I don't want to add to it by walking around looking like i talk to myself.
everyone know what a "blue room" is?
i have been in situations where i was taking advantage of a port-o-let, and someone was trying really hard to get me on the 2 way radio.
i finally answered them, and they asked where the @#$ i was....so i told them.
VERY wrong, and fortunately have not witnessed anything similar yet. Remember a David Sedaris piece awhile back where he was discussing this sort of thing with his sister and she admitted that she had talked to him while on the pot and had explained some of the sound effects by claiming she was "opening a jar" :-X
when im drunk and have a gallon to pee out, i usually make a call. it gets lonely in there.
boobies
Back before bluetooth I used to try to scare people that were shouldering a phone in the bathroom to see if I can make them drop it in the can.
Blutooth headsets are ghey

Thank you for posting this. I was going to post a similar thread.
A few weeks ago, I was in the gym locker room and saw a guy texting with one hand and p*ssing with the other. :-X As he walked by..of course avoiding the sink to wash..I made a camment under my breath. I think he heard and it embarassed him because he then circled back around to wash his hands.
was talking to the bf, n usually have him on speakerphone when i'm at home (to be hands free). out of courtesy i put it on mute while i went. next thing i know, he's asking if i was still on the line. i got back on n asked if he wanted to hear me flush. [laugh]
Not via bluetooth...
Back in my days working in a car dealership, we had a phone in the bathroom. Not uncommon for me to take a sales call while taking a "whiskey shit"!
;D

Same.
I have no bluetooth goodies for my phone.

how do you put a fanny pack in your ear?
I've got no problem taking the phone call into the bathroom but usually give the option. "hey, I gotta use the can. Going with or talk later?" it's about 50/50. Most guys don't care. Some girls don't. Mother's not a fan. If it's at home, I'll put it on speaker and set it on the counter. If it's at a bar or work or anywhere in public, I'll try and use a headset or hold the phone.
I've used it at the bar and had the guys who thought it would be funny to fart and make enough noise for the person I'm talking to know I'm in the bathroom. Told her there were 2 dudes in the stall next to me trying to figure out who's the butch and who's the... Then put her on speakphone and turned up the volume so her laugh would echo through the bathroom while I washed my hands.

I agree!!! I refuse to get a BT. i know it would be nice to have, but you look like a complete jackass with it on. (IMO which dont mean much!) BT have become a fashion statement and made the world that much more disrespectful. The last straw was when I saw BT motorcycle helmets for the 1st time....come on that is the 1 place most of us can get way from the world, no one is that important that they have to be able to take calls 100% of the time.
I quit the last job that had me tethered with a company phone. I hope to be able to say NEVER AGAIN.
The gym where I go has a very strict no cell phone policy. They'll kick you out for texting in the locker room. I really like it there.

You like the men's locker room?
Hey - whatever works for ya.
One of the guys I used to work with had a comic recording of someone taking a painful dump.
He claimed to play it when one of the sales ppl to our firm called him.
