cell phone rant

Maat · Kenneth Cole

That's pretty gross. She must have no class at all.

Aurora · Marc Jacobs

omg people did that all the time at my sorority house. They'd be on the cordless and just walk into the stall and proceed to do their business along with continuing the conversation. I always thought WTF?

Cricket · Gucci

OMG, that happened to me this weekend too. We were in Las Vegas at the Flamingo Hilton attending a wedding/reception. I was in the bathroom in the middle stall, my sister was to my left and to my right was a banquet employee, I'm assuming some type of supervisor. The phone rings while she's ON THE POT, and she says "Banquets, this is Karen. How may I help you?". Pause... "No, he's not near this phone right now, may I take a message?"!!! My sister and I were laughing sooo hard. My sis flushed her toilet right in the middle of the ladies conversation. My husband said I should have made really loud farting noises!

Can you believe that? Who conducts business AT WORK on a PUBLIC TOILET???

small fry · Chanel

Too funny cricket, you made me laugh at loud with your husbands farting idea!!! I should do that next time, not the farting, but flushing the toilet.

jettie · Kate Spade

There was a lady at my office on the phone a few days ago...I couldn't believe it! At first I thought she was talking to herself.

There are some times when you really just don't need to take the call.

luckyclover · Dooney & Bourke

People at my job do this too. Why would you think it was ok to talk on your cell phone not just in a public restroom but while you are using it? I think that person can wait just a couple of minutes.

ILoveChoo · Hermes

ew!

TheLovelyLady71 · Hermes

LOL! I can't stand to even talk on my phone in the potty - eww.

blubirde · Chanel

omg - I hate when people do that! I have a strict rule about no talking on the pot. If I have to go and I'm on the phone, I'll tell people I'll call them back in 1.5 to 2 minutes.

Ugh - gross!

asf · Kate Spade

let me start by saying i will never, ever be on my cell while using a public restroom.

however...

i do talk to people on the phone while using my own bathroom. not everyone, of course, just the bf and one or two close friends, really. i figure if i can pee in front of them in person, i can pee while i'm on the phone with them. but it stops with pee. (tmi? probably...)

i hope you don't all think i'm gross now!

Hermione · Kate Spade

i totally use the phone in the bathroom ...

ETA: i hate public restrooms, btw - my mom made me so paranoid about them -

my best friend always goes in and dumps her purse on the floor and i'm like NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

gross gross gross gross

and she wrote on her profile once that "she's deathly afraid of public restrooms"

hmmm .. somehow i don't think so.

OMG - that would completely freak me out! I am always looking for a hook or somewhere to put my purse so it touches as little as possible in the bathroom....

On a different note, now that I am working from home I really have no option except to bring the phone to the potty with me if I have to go. But if it rings i don't hang out there talking, I get out quickly because 1) i usually need the computer to answer questions & 2) I am scared they will somehow know i'm in the bathroom. So I'm a person that would answer in the bathroom but in Cricket's story I seriously wonder how in the world she was going to take a message -did she bring a pen & paper with her too???
