well, it happened. again. while peeing here at the office, someone in one of the stalls (handicap, no less) answered a call on his cell phone. as i sat there washing my hands, listening to his side of the conversation (confirming the call was, by any measure, a fairly benign one, though, the torrent he unleashed immediately upon hanging up was anything but), i began to wonder if there was ever a call important enough to justify taking while also taking a deuce...? i could come up with only 3 no-doubter. certainly, if your wife's pregnant and you're near her due date, taking a call from her, one of her friends or one of her family members could certainly be justified (i'll begrudingly include daughters, as well - but i'm hesitant to do so). also, if a loved one is having surgery with some degree of risk (not, for instance, lasik), and you get a call from them or a family member near the time the surgery might be ending - i think that's a call you probably take. i would also be ok taking any call coming from a police department or hospital, as it may be an emergency. but otherwise, are there ANY other circumstances? any at all? and am i the only one who finds doing so just... beyond the realm of ridiculous? i mean, really - this guy couldn't wait 3 minutes to discuss plans later that evening?
You for got the MILLION DOLLAR PHONE CALL you been waiting on But forreal .. It definately makes you think twice about borrowing someone's Cell Phone Rocket River
I never do that...I'm just glad I have a wireless laptop. Now I just need to IM Tara to bring me some TP...
Good question. I have been in the courtroom when a Federal judge demanded that the receptionist interrupt whatever the attorney was doing and have him take the call. If he had been in the bathroom at the time...I guess he got caught with his pants down.
I see no problem with it. As long as I or if the person I am talking to does not make it obvious what they are doing.
my best friend, (for whatever reason) finds it absolutely hilarious to call me up... carry on a conversation on the phone, then about 10 minutes into it go "oh hang on a sec..." then proceeds to flush. Its pretty damn disgusting
I talk on the house phone while I'm taking a dump all the time...I need to do something to pass the time. It's either the phone or reading a magazine for me...though I don't think I'd talk on the phone in public while pooping.
