    Do people agree with me that people talking on the phones and having a slash is disgusting.

    I heard some guy in croke park toilets today:

    "Ah, How'ya Gerry, yeah I'm in thejacks"

    and did he have to tell the guy that

    Also there are guys who use hands frees in the jacks too

    eh why???

    I'm might answer the phone when I'm finished and leaving the jacks but never whilst doing my business. I think its a bit rude to be honest.

    some of the best phone conversations i've had have been while taking a dump.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,561 ✭✭✭Rhyme


    If it's an important call and i'm in the middle of something i'll pick up and tell the person i'll call them back.

    Otherwise i ignore the phone until i'm done.

    It's ridiculous in Dublin Airport especially what can be heard from the cubicles:

    "Yea, I'm taking a dump at the moment"

    "Hold on a sec while I wipe me hole"

    "Yea, I'm on the bog at the moment"

    "Jaysus, I've a dose of the shíts"

    Most 5 star hotels have a toilet phone. Wonder why? Something about doing their business?

    The echo gives it away though :(

    The best are where you are on the phone in the toilet, and the person on the line doesn't know you are. Then ya flush..

    Person: "Whats that??"
    Me: "Errrrr.. nothing? Go on..."

    Because they need their hands for other purposes.

    I'll answer the phone in the jax depending on who it is.

    Once worked as a night porter in a hotel.
    We had to answer the phone within three rings or there'd be hell to pay.

    Regulary answered the phone while using the toilet and never one complaint


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,835 ✭✭✭unreggd


    rude

    and ull drop ur phone in the jax if ur at least tipsy, then piss all over yerself

    Somewhat similar to manners when using the phone...

    My girlfriend rang her mate about something, her mate answered and proceeded to let her (the gf) know that she was in the middle of sex but will get back to her later.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 595 ✭✭✭gilroyb


    Was the phone itself involved? Maybe she was using the hands free function.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,192 ✭✭✭HungryJoey


    I learned the hard way using the phone in the toilet, letting it fall in :( Or so i thought I learned - the phone decided to work again as soon as it dried out. Happy days! :D So yes, I still use a phone while in the lavatory. Meh.. who cares! I'll try and be as discrete as I can next time.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,778 ✭✭✭✭Kold


    Sometimes you just gotta answer that call... If you hang up they'll just keep ringing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,982 ✭✭✭Caliden


    I'd talk to someone while I would be using the bathroom but I definitely wouldn't tell them.
    I would also have second thoughts about answering if I was doing a #2


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,817 ✭✭✭✭Dord


    i'll never answer it while in the toilet, they can f**kin' wait! :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,225 ✭✭✭Ciaran500


    Whats rude about it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,509 ✭✭✭Jigsaw


    I think there's something wonderfully deviant about it if you are taking an important call, say, the person on the other end is in their office talking to you about an important issue, blissfully unaware that you are on the throne of porcelain crimping one off.

    Or maybe that's just me?:o

    My thoughts exactly. Tbh, I'll answer the phone in the toilet if I felt like it, and I really couldn't care less if someone thought it was rude, because frankly, it's not.

    OP, if I was standing beside you at a urinal on my phone, and you started giving me the 'oh you're so rude' look, I'd piss on your shoes, and get great pleasure in doing it. If only to give you something deserving of that look.

    It depends on what they are saying. :)

    Also there are guys who use hands frees in the jacks too

    Some use hands free phones too. :)

    Not at all! I feel the same way lol

    Infact, I've done much more 'personal' things than taking a dump while having answered the phone :D:D:D

    You obviously are not worried about your friend hearing plop! plop! after every few words.

    the phone is held to my mouth, not the jax!

    Reminds me of that Harry Enfield sketch where the two chav characters win the lottery:

    "Phone call for you Madam"
    "Thank you Jeeves. I shall take it on the bog".


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,118 ✭✭✭afatbollix

    If it's about germs getting on your phone, there are already loads on it from everyday use. It's like a keyboard at work, it's not as clean as you think.


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 10,661 ✭✭✭✭John Mason


    I do it all the time, what happens if you are in the middle of a drunken two hour conversation??? do you say, can you call me back in 3 minutes ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,247 ✭✭✭✭6th


    My first ever call on a mobile, about 10 years ago, was a call from my now wife .... I was sitting on the jacks in college. Not since then of course >_>


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,616 ✭✭✭8k2q1gfcz9s5d4


    nothing better than having a conversation with someone for 5 minutes, then flush the toilet!


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,113 Mod ✭✭✭✭Tar.Aldarion


    I answer in the bathroom a lot.

    I often take a call while I'm dropping the kids off at the pool.. You get away with it as long as you don't flush without thinking or drop a splasher.
