Horse Ham Radio Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Yes, just the other day I had someone call me at the most unfortunate of times. I told them to call me back in 5 minutes So technically yes I have spoken on the phone while on the toilet, but I ended the call as quickly as I could. Link to post Share on other sites
Purple Red Panda Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 No and I'd like to think I never will. Link to post Share on other sites
RoseGoesToYale Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Yep. My two best friends and I don't even lie about it, we openly state over the phone if one of us is on the toilet. 😂 Link to post Share on other sites
Snao Cone Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I am shocked at the balance of results so far. Link to post Share on other sites
Janus the Fox Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Spoken on the toilet? Maybe but definitely texting. Extended stays on the loo does eventually mean doing everything on the phone for that typical 45 minute sit. AVEN n Moderation cos why not multitask Link to post Share on other sites
Snao Cone Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I have spoken on the phone with AVENites while on the toilet. Link to post Share on other sites
Naiwen Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Nop. Too awkward for me personally. Link to post Share on other sites
Acerna Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I wouldn’t do that, and try to limit using a phone when in the bathroom, because it would just be 10x more comfortable to take a min in there and then finish and be comfortable, not have to worry about germs on my phone, etc. Also because I know what it’s like to be on the receiving end of someone taking forever in the bathroom. I don’t know what my brother does in there, but a phone and either blasting music or sound-canceling headphones equals a recipe for “I know you can’t hear me but get the hell out please” Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Sometimes I have to pee when I'm on a work conference call, so I just mute the mic while I'm doing it (and hope no one asks me a question). Link to post Share on other sites
Tystie Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Yes. I’m not proud of it. (Bring back corded phones, tethered to the wall in the family hallway! That would stop such malarkey! And, yes, I’m showing my age here.) Link to post Share on other sites
blunose2772 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 No but thats mostly because I don't talk much on the phone at all. Link to post Share on other sites
Catserole Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Why would I do this? Link to post Share on other sites

I'm surprised no one has thought about selling 'toilet desks' yet, with all the home working that's going on. 🤣 Link to post Share on other sites

Not on zoom and co hopefully. I know some people will wear an office wear top and pyjama bottoms below when on zoom calls, but doing one on the toilet would take the biscuit hahah.

Catserole Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Not pyjama bottoms, but I've been wearing comfortable jogging trousers with formal shirts for the last year ... Link to post Share on other sites
Ceebs Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Yeah, occasionally. I've spoken to my parents while on the loo. And believe I've spoken to @Snao Cone while they were on the toilet, although I wasn't myself. So I think it might just be my mum and dad. I often inform my partner when I'm having a wee, because I know it irritates him slightly but he secretly finds it amusing, so there's that. But I don't call him from the toilet.

NewStart Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 No. I am a huge Germaphobe so the phone never even enters the bathroom. Even worse is people talking on the phone in public bathrooms. There is an upside to being home all the time, not having to use a public restroom and hearing another person’s inane conversation on top of that. Link to post Share on other sites
Morays Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I don't think I've ever spoken to someone from the toilet, but I've definitely texted. I'm not exactly proud of this, but my workaholic brain does appreciate the efficiency of combining tasks. My best friend has called people from the toilet before, though -- I guess there's no way to know if I was one of them Link to post Share on other sites
Anthracite_Impreza Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Calling no, texting/interneting, on a very regular basis. Link to post Share on other sites
ben8884 Posted March 3, 2021 Author Share Posted March 3, 2021 I have never phoned anyone but if someone calls and I need the toilet then I will do both. Link to post Share on other sites
RacheI Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 No, but that's purely the poop to phone call ratio. Link to post Share on other sites

Grumpy Alien Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 No but pretty much everyone I would accept calls from does it. I think it’s gross but not offensive. What really freaks me out is when I come across strangers in a public toilet IN A STALL talking on the phone. Next level weird. Link to post Share on other sites
Ceebs Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Wait no. I peed when I was talking to @Snao Cone on New Year's Eve. Cos it was over four hours on the phone and I had a LOT of beer. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I don't think I've even ever taken a phone into the bathroom for any significant amount of time. I love the fact I can just leave my phone in safe places at home... Link to post Share on other sites

As for talking in a public restroom, nope, don't talk to me there, period, whether on a phone or in person. Link to post Share on other sites
