what is it with people

decides2dream

who talk on cellphones while using the restroom?! :eek:


seriously....wtf?
is whatever conversation so important that you cannot hang-up and redial after you take care of business? i have witnessed/heard this 2x this week in my office ladies room. i just think....disgusting! and man, what about the poor person on the other end of the line, can they hear anything? yuck. i can think of NO reason to do this, and never would. gross, gross, gross. i mean, even the logistics of it, phone in one hand, etc.......ewwwwwww.


feel free to share your bizarro observances/peeves...work-related or not....:p

It sucks even worse when you drop your phone into the toilet.

Me and my buddy went into a restroom and this guy was talking in the shitter stall when he began ripping ass.. Me and my friend, both using the urinals began to laugh, but forced ourselves to hold it in.. The guy then starts answering back to the phone, "oh, yeah, thats music in the background (which there was)" but the timing was so convenient, me and my buddy bursted out laughing our asses off, echoing through the restroom.. funny stuff!

norm

if a conversation with someone is damn important then sit down somewhere and take the call instead of chatting like a fuckhead while...

driving*
shopping
walking
shitting

or

at a concert
at a sporting event
in a museum
at the library

* - trust me....there is nothing in your life important enough to risk your life to take a call from sally because bob left to go bowling.....GET OVER YOURSELVES PEOPLE!!!!! PUT DOWN THE GODDAMN PHONE AND DRIVE....YOU'RE A BAD ENOUGH DRIVER WITHOUT THE PHONE GLUED TO YOUR HEAD!!!!!!!!!!! :mad:

Good for emergencies, but I hate cell phones and crackberrys.
I turn mine off all weekend.
And PAY ATTENTION WHERE YOU ARE WALKING WHILE TYPING YOU FRIGGING MORON

I can see talking on the phone while dropping a load. It's not a big deal as you're making it out to be

I always laugh at the people in the airport/on the plane who want everyone to think they're important so they continuous call the office to "check in" "make sure every thing's ok there." I don't care what line of business you're in or how high up in the company you are, no one needs to make that many phone calls. Everyone back at the office is probably perfectly content to sit quietly doing their work without continuous interruptions from you.

well don't ever borrow her cell phone... it would almost be like going down on her

"hold on a sec I just have to wipe..."

Those are the times you wish someone totally rips up a few bowls worth the next stall over after a big mexican buffet

hehe

seriously, it's just technology too far! there is ZERO *need* to have phone conversations under such circumstances. quite honestly, i think it is doubly rude/disgusting to do in a public restroom........yyyeeeeesssssh!

I laugh at those people as well. There's always a few.

"Who was that?"

"Frank.."

"Why did he call? I thought he was at the airport catching a flight?"

"I dunno..but yeah he is"

"wierd"

"yeah.... strange"
