A plea

[clevermanka]

To the world at large:

Do not ever telephone me while you are sitting on the toilet.

Cell phones are bad enough taken as is. They cross the line to the obscene when people use them while sitting in a public toilet stall.

Is that the WEIRDEST THING EVER or what?! Someone was doing that last time we were in a restaurant. Boy, was I confused/disturbed. Holy moly.

That happens all the time here at work. I'll be in the bathroom doing whatever, and I'll start hearing a freakin' conversation coming from a stall! YIKES!

I think it has come to be a very strange part of reality that people can now not stand to be alone for even a minute, so they call someone on a cell phone.

Me, I don't really want someone along when I take a shit. Hell, I don't even want anyone around if I gotta fart.

I mean, I have, on occassion taken a phone into my bathroom at home (if I couldn't wait...I sometimes cannot get my mother to pay attention when she's on a roll and I'm trying to tell her to hold on for a minute), but then it was only urination, and I took extremely great pains to make sure it was not apparent what was occuring. Even then it felt creepy.

But a public restroom? Why the fuck would anyone think this is remotely appropriate?

I am so glad I am not the only one that has 'had' to do that to her mother.....



But talking in a public restroom? I panic if the phone rings while I am in one. Don't want to miss the call, but... I am not answering it there, no way.

I've had to do that with my grandma and her 3 hour phone calls

Okay, I will admit to having had a phone conversation in a public toilet.

Just not when I was on the toilet.

It just so happened to be the only place where I could get what would be remotely considered privacy!

tacky

Indeed, I heard some of that going on in airport bathrooms last week. Conversation--clearly of a business nature--emmanating from stalls. I was amazed.

That ain't static on the line!

So I'm curious, what makes you say this? Did it happen in the Wescoe ladies' toilet? Wow.

Yes. It's actually happened on several occasions. This was just the one that put me over the edge.

Yuck.
