It was to me, anyway.

I'm in the men's room, "doing my business" as it were, in the stall. Guy comes in, talking. No other voice, so I surmise he's on a cellphone or Bluetooth gizmo. He sets up at the urinal, does HIS business, then flushes, chatting with his friend all the while. You just know that his friend had to hear the flush.

I would find that gross if I had been the friend. You can't hold it until you finished the call? Or let the call go to voicemail if you were on the way to the men's room, or there and "in the process"? Ugh.

Then he walked out without washing up. That seemed consistent, somehow.

One of my ex-boyfriends used to do that. I tried telling him how gross it was but he said we were being "open" with each other. I said I didn't want to be that open. He didn't stop so whenever I heard it I hung up on him. Nasty.

I'm reminded of an old Dilbert cartoon:

Pointy-Haired Boss is on a conference call, & apparently notices an odd noise. He asks, "Hey, is someone on this call using the restroom?"

Several replies come back, all at once:

"Oops, sorry"

"Yeah, it was me..."

"Had to go..."

"'Scuse me...."

Next scene, PHB is cringing against the wall as Carol the Secretary uses a yardstick to hang up the phone. He says, "....and after you hang up the phone, go burn the ruler!"

Funnier to see it; I'll see if I can find a link when I get home

I was on a conference call while working from home a couple months ago. I was thirsty, so I went to the water filter in the fridge and filled my bottle. Apparently the sound was similar enough that people were sure I had just gone to the bathroom.

Hey, at least he flushed.

But did he put the seat up? Or was it one of those newfangled, seatless, urinals?

I dunno about seatless urinals, being a girl, but I have been informed by a bona-fide' health systems person that the reason for that weird stretched-oval shape in newfangled (& lidless) public toilet seats is to avoid the tendency men report, when sitting down on old-fashioned round seats, of bruising their "important (to them) rotund appendages". You know; the pairsies, not the onesey.

I doubled over with laughter when I heard about this one.

Some things should be left a mystery.

If that's the case, then I suggest to those gentlemen, in LOLspeak, "ur doin it rong".

Somewhere on a non-emergency police dispatch tape somewhere is a recording of an officer having an entire cell phone conversation with dispatchers, during which he enters the restroom and proceeds with normal business for a restroom.

The dispatchers laugh when they hear the flushing, handwashing, and other sound effects and ask him about it, but he is unfazed and calmly answers that yes, he was in the restroom, and thanks them for calling with the information he needed, and have a nice day.

I guess when you've been a cop for 20 years you develop a calm attitude about a lot of things not involving death or injury.

Someone asked for LOLdog?

No one should be allowed to wear a Bluetooth gizmo unless they are on an organ transplant waiting list.

I have spoken.

Found it!!!

I would never be so rude. Besides, I can't get reception in here anyway.....

A few years ago at work I was in a stall when someone came into the restroom, apparently recognized my shoes, and started asking me about something I was working on for him. I told him, "It's going to take a little while longer because I don't have my computer in here."

There are some things a person should be allowed to do in peace.

Heck, I pee while on the phone all the time.

Everybody pees.

I continue conversations with my girl friends that we started before going into the stall.

I also go in and start conversations if I know the person is in there.

If they tell me 'not now', I shut up.

If they are clearly pooping, I don't talk.
