OT: Cellphones in the bathroom

Post by **ScoopBrady** » Fri Feb 23, 2007 10:46 am

So I go to the washroom this morning to grow a tail and I have the whole place to myself. That was short-lived as someone came in shortly afterwards and proceeded to go in a stall two doors down. I hate dropping mud with people in the room so I was a little miffed when this guy came in.

I'm trying to do my business quick and get the hell out of there while the guy in the other stall is making noises like he's preparing to give birth. It seems my newfound friend is stuggling in the delivery room and what happened next shocked the hell out of me.

The dude called his mom while he was trying to take a s***. I won't even answer my cellphone (if I even have it on me) in the bathroom and this guy makes a friggin' phone call. Not only did he make a phone call, it was to his mother! On the crapper!

Am I crazy for thinking that there is something very, very wrong with this?

(It's been a while since we've had a good defecation thread so I was inspired to share this experience.)

Ah, the old Dial-n-Dump! Funny you should bring this up, as someone in my office did this loudly and obnoxiously last week. But he was a sales guy, and I wouldn't be surprised to hear about the sales guys doing ANYTHING while still on the phone.

I'm not a frequent Dial-n-dumper myself, but I think the etiquette is that it is okay to do it as long as no one knows you are doing it while the call is happening, including any and all bystanders and people on the other end of the line.

You can discuss the event, and even brag about it- "Dude, I so closed the Trembor deal while dropping a log!"- after the fact.

Funny you should mention sales guys as I think the guy in the other stall was one of the admission representatives (i.e. sales guy).

Hell, I've been on the phone with my boss while leaving friends at the pool. As long as I'm quiet and don't have an Apollo-capsule-hitting-the-Pacific splashdown from a large dump, who gives a sh*t -- besides my colon?

Then again, I'm in my home bathroom with a cordless phone, not in a public crapper.

Take care,
PK

Cell phones should not be used in public period.. They are extremely annoying.. especially in cars, restaurants and theaters.

... in the bathroom, thats just gross.

funny thread! I love it!

I am so self consciece about taking a "noisy" dump with someone
else in the room, that I will try and "pause" until they leave and then
"resume" as soon as they do. I wish they would make the stalls
go down to the floor, like George from Seinfeld once suggested.
I think talking on the cell phone while on the can is OK as long
as it is done discreetly. Me and my wife do it to each other all the time.
We will be talking and then all of a sudden you hear the loud "whoosh"
of the flushing toilet. I dont do it with strangers very often though, but if
I do, I will only after "splashdown"

p.s. Where's Grog?

The only time I ever use a cell in the bathroom is if I'm in a club or somewhere else really noisy and need to make a call in a more quiet environment. Odds are, my talking on the phone is the least of the transactions found in these most already disgusting of places.

I almost never make deposits in public washrooms, but I definitely would not in these places, or I'd probably get an imprint of the toilet seat populated by herpes on my ass.

That is either a typo, or you really need to see a doctor.

Man, you guys have issues. Taking a dump -- noisy, quiet, wet or dry -- is part of daily life. Christ, it's like sneezing or scratching your head.

It's not like you're taking a sh*t in the middle of a dining room in a five-star hotel with spotlights focused on your ass. A public crapper is just that -- a place to take a crap, in its many shapes, sizes, forms and sounds.

Sorry for the pun, but I don't give a sh*t how it sounds when I'm slicing one off, whether in public or private.

Take care,
PK

Strict no calls while on the shitter rule should apply with the following exceptions:

1. Bookie. Sometimes a man just needs some privacy for his important transactions.

2. Proctologist. When only real-time play-by-play will do.

3. Priest. You might go in there knowing you have a struggle on your hands..one which might require the assistance of the Almighty.

PS +10 to the DSP filter for not ***-ing "shitter"

I don't have a problem with talking to someone while I take care of business at home. I do think it is uncalled for in a public restroom.

Sudz · Post by **Sudz** » Fri Feb 23, 2007 11:58 am

public bathrooms are just DIRTY..

that is my issue.

and i don't want people talking to me in there! just nod and wait until i come out and then tell me about the Q4 sales #s.

It's not so much the process of doing it, it's the conditions that the public washrooms are in - remember that my prior work experience includes Wal-Mart and a tool and mould shop.

i really hate the celly-duce ... i'm just minding my own and other guys in there are yaking and chatting like its a solo flight, but most of all it so damn loud. When i am on the phone and throne at home i always do the flush and run so the other person hopfully wont hear the whoosh.

I, for the most part refuse to drop it like it's hot in public as well. Since I work in a hospital, I have access to a lot of "private" bathrooms, so that eases the pain (so to speak) in an emergency, but if I can, I'll just clench till I get home.

Have you ever had the "Deep sniffer" come in to the urinal while you're taking a dump. Right before he starts his urinal business, he'll take a really deep inhale as if he's trying to take into account what you are doing in the stall. I hate that guy....

typo! meant to say "splashdown"

Yes, the blackberry is essential. Nothing like chatting on instant messenger when you're doin' the duty. Gotta love it. And the person on the other end can't hear the flush when you're done either. It's win/win!

So is jerking off for about 75% of the male population. Do you want to be in the stall next to that guy

Unless you fumble before flushing.
