If you talk on your cellphone while

[Michie]

in the public ladies restroom can you please explain why???

Why do women insist on doing this? WAs at the ladies room at Dillards and a woman was talking on her cell phone while taking care of business I started making so much noise, artifical! that I am suprised that security did not call 911

For me it depends if I'm talking with my sister and we are trying to get some plans settled right away. I do have the world's smallest bladder so sometimes I keep talking to her - but usually I'm at home.

DH sometimes calls me from the restroom at work and I always laugh. Some days, that's the only time he gets a break and he'll call me to hear a friendly voice.

I think its gross.. I hate at work when ladies do that.. One day I walked in the restroom and there was a coworker standing the doorway in the bathroom just having a conversation.. I guess she was hiding out from the bosses, but one of them could have walked in and caught her..

 

[KaitlinsMom]

that is one of my pet peeves - talking on the cell phone in a public restroom - You can usually tell by the conversation that it is not urgent or anything - With toilets flushing in the background, I would think the person on the phone would be embarrassed -

HA..HA.. DH & I bought new cells before we left for WDW. I was not used to this new cell at all. I had the ring tone as "the saints go marching in"!! As I walked into the Ladies Room at LOGAN AIRPORT in Boston, I noticed that "hey, that song being piped into the Ladies Room right now is the same as my cell".....WHAT AN IDIOT.... it was my cell ringing in my purse...but seriously for a 1/2 a second I thought that was piped in music....anyway I quickly told my DS that I was in the Ladies Room and would call him back...I laughed to myself....

Sorry, I just had to share that....

I dont know why people insist on doing that. UGH! I could never do that myself. Heck, I dont even like people talking to me while Im in the stall. I like to take care of my business without anyone else bothering. I have even told friends not to talk till im done. When I shut my door to the stall, I shut out everyone else. Thats "MY" time. No way am I gonna take a call in there.

If I was on the recieving end of that phone called I'd be pretty ticked off. It's just gross and yucky talking to someone on your cell while sitting on the toilet... heck what did you do in the bathroom before cell phones???

 

[PryncessChrysty]

Ladies at my work do this ALL the time!! If it's urgent, fine, whatever. But when they're just sitting there talking, it makes me uncomfortable to do my business. Like the person on the other line might hear me or something..haha What really gets me is when I hear them EATING on the toilet!!! I can hear them open up some sort of snack bag, chips, cookies, etc. and just start munching away!!! More than anything is the amount of people that don't wash their hands...DISGUSTING!! At my work, we have a lot of paperwork that has to pass through a lot of depts...let's just say I keep a full supply of Purell constantly "on hand". It's a respectable office, but you wouldn't think so from the way I just described them! haha

OK, apparently I needed to vent about that!!

Only one time I used the cell in a public restroom. I was on my first business trip and my DD was having a hard time with it (only 2 nights). Well I promised to call and sing her lullabies every night. First night was fine as I was in the hotel room. Second night a bunch of co-workers wanted to go out for dinner. Eeek! Couldn't very well sing my made up songs with a horrible voice at the dinner table, too cold to stand outside (think speed version), so I stood in the corner of an empty restroom singing. Of course just before I finished, someone walked in and glared at me.
Thank goodness no one at my office does the phone or food in the bathroom.
When my DSD was younger I found her coming out of the bathroom with a bag of chips. I told her to cut out the middle man and just toss them in the toilet next time. That bag went into the trash and I established a new rule: No eating while on the toilet.

I have been on call in places that were so noisy that the only place that was halfway quiet where I could answer a page and call a patient were the public restrooms. Examples: any type of sports or school event. stadiums. theaters. restaurants. Usually, I either go outside or into the restroom. Many places, like stadiums, don't allow one to go ourside, and then come back inside. Now, I am not using the toilet, but, I am in the entry area. Sorry if it offends anybody's sensibilities, but, otherwise, I would need to stay home and do nothing for the weekends I am on call.

One time, a patient was upset because I was at home starting a load of laundry while they were talking to me. Actually, it doesn't take that much of my brain capacity to do the wash. I can talk on the phone and start the washer at the same time. If I could train patients not to call at mealtime, I wouldn't answer the phone mid-bite, either.

A few years ago, we were at a show at The Kennedy Center and I had occasion to use the Ladies Room twice. Both times there was a woman (two different women) chatting on the phone in the restroom. And, from the conversations, it wasn't, "Oh, dear, the babies medecine is in the medecine cabinet," or anything important. Both women seemed to be chatting with their friends, "blah, blah, blah..."

One time at work, a lady came in jabbering loudly on her phone and went into the adjacent stall, continuing to jabber. So I started flushing the toilet over and over. She said "oh...yeah, sorry, I'm in the ladies and someone has to keep flushing, i'll call you back".

I think it's gross, too, and don't understand why some women do this. YUCK.

I can understand in your case. But just yakking about shoes or dinner plans I called somebody and could tell they were in the mens room

The bathroom is sometimes the only break I get without kids. So I sometimes will return a message while I am on the toilet. But I'm using text and no one knows where I am. Teachers and subs have to multitask.

Just so that I am clear, we are talking IN the stalls right? I will often sit in the "waiting areas" or "nursing areas" (as long as no one is nursing) if I need to make/take a call while shopping. But, I figure that sitting in the Nordies comfy couches talking normally and where I can hear is better than walking through the mall yapping loudly... the people who walk through the mall doing that annoy me, esp. when they are right behind you.

I actually have never heard anyone talking IN a stall here.

 

[Nancy]

I have no problem with going into the restroom to make a call...sometimes it is the quietest place..but NOT in the stalls while going about your business...sound travels you know!
