mobile etiquette

    Was sitting on the throne spending a really big penny, actually it felt like five cent, and what happens? the mobile rings. I was in a dilemma, should I let it ring out or could it be an important call that I need to attend to immediately.

    So I was wondering. put yourself in the situation, your your sitting on the toilet, and the mobile rings, do you answer it? leave it ring out? reject the call and hope they leave a message?

    what to do?

    I can safely say that I do 90% of my wheeling and dealing on the throne.

    Not bring your phone in with you in the first place?

    The echo is the only giveaway. Just say you're in a lift and you'll phone them back...

    It all depends on who's on the phone tbh. If its somebody close, Let that baby FLUSH and have a laugh :)

    Answer the phone? I've MADE phone calls from the bog. I'd usually make sure to throw some loo roll down there first to avoid unfortunate noises, and hold off on the flush till the calls over.

    I've answered the phone on the loo.

    Depends on where I am.

    If i'm in a public toilet and it rings then it goes on silent. Back home it doesn't bother me.

    Answer it and explain to them the situation and count how many times you get "too much information" in the reply.

    I don't pick up. If I ring someone and they are in the bathroom I just hang up, there are limits to intimacy :mad:

    i only ever get phone calls when taking a dump. it's like whoever's ringing me just knows i'm having one, and just rings me to píss me off :mad:

    I had a boyfriend once that ALWAYS rang me while I was either just out of the shower, or getting changed. He seemed to have some sort of a sensor for when I'd be wearing little or nothing!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 850 ✭✭✭- bo -


    well the shower isn't too bad i suppose...

    but, and i don't mean to be too graphic :D , when yer struggling away trying to get one out, the last thing ye want is someone ringing for a chat...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,487 ✭✭✭boneless


    Answer and tell the caller you were just thinking of them!! Then tell them where you are and what your doing!!

    Clearly a stalker.:D

    Answer and tell 'em to hang on while you crimp one off, grunt a few times and then resume with: Sorry, go ahead..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,922 ✭✭✭Dave


    Yeah I answer, but hold off on the flushing. Unless I know it's someone who'll find it amusing that I'm on the bog :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 771 ✭✭✭spiderlegs


    Just let the phone ring out.Why would you answer the phone on the toilet?? Why??!! I would be extremely disturbed if I knew I was talking to someone on the toilet. :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,163 ✭✭✭✭danniemcq
