Toilet Phonecall

Danjamin1

Do you talk to people on your phone while using the toilet? I've seen/heard a lot of guys doing this in work recently, and I can't imagine doing it myself. Even at home I think I'd call back afterwards rather than take the call. Is this weird or is it just me?

Haha. Same thing happens in my place too. It's really bizarre, have they no fcuking shame?

Hold on, I'll check my log.

Sometimes if I am in the middle of a lengthy chat with a friend on the phone, I will have a wee while talking to them... I put loo roll down the toilet first so they don't hear it. I am classy like that!

They're either talking shyte, or just taking the pi55.

Spose you dont flush either in case they here that?! yeah, very classy

I just don't get it! Talking to a customer or to a sales rep or something while having a sh!te, why do it?!

OldNotWIse

I sometimes would. Remember doing it to a friend once (he wont even let a woman pour wine at the table he's so feckin uppity and French) - he didn't realise I was in the loo until he heard the toilet flushing in the background. Haha.There aren't enough minutes in the day to get everything done! I would buy time if I could!

...and yet I'm on Boards...hmmmmm

I remember the tale of a lad using a public loo in an airport one day.

He was having a poo when he heard a voice from the next cubicle asking him how we was keeping?
Bemused, he just said "ok"

"what ye up to?" said the stranger in next cubicle....

"ummmm, not much, just having a poo" he shouted back.

The next he heard was "Jim I'll call you back, some eejit in the next cubicle keeps shouting at me." :mad:

The one part of the day where you have a bit of privacy, what would you be doing on the phone for jaysis sake?

Have taken phonecalls, but would never make them. However, I always catch up on text and email correspondence while on the throne. My sister complained recently that I often respond to texts 1-2 days later, so had to explain why that was.

No I wouldn't make a call or even answer the phone while I'm on the toilet. But I have had a few calls before to friends when all of a sudden I hear a toilet flush. Dirty bastards.

I worked in 11850 years ago and at the time we were bombarded with call after call. So people ringing the service would be put on hold until they got through to one of us.
So I finish a call and the next one comes up... "Welcome to 11850" I say and all I hear was the biggest pissing sound. Of course I was like "erm, hello?" but clearly do to the fact he couldnt hear me, or should I say due to the blatant noise he must of had the mobile next to his knob or something :pac:

You heard him muttering to himself too. Sounded locked off his face. Was only 12pm in the day :pac:

Why. Just why would you take a slash while on hold? lol.

I didn't think they even had phones 11850 years ago.

Having a chat while pinching a loaf, what harm?

shopaholic01

I'd have a quiet pee while on the loo, never a poo though. It would only happen if I was already talking to someone and needed to go, I wouldn't ordinarily bring my phone to the bathroom.

Certainly not. If having a textbook turd then you should use the time to relax and practice some relaxation and mindfulness techniques. You can ring the person when you've finished. Can't be that time poor.

If enduring a more distressing movement (say after a feed of Guinness and curry) then the last thing the caller at the other end of the line needs to hear is gasps, moans, sighs, farts, squeaks and curses. Leave it off. You can close the business deal once you've managed to tidy up after the fiasco. You'll be calmer and less distracted.

Eat more fibre.

Raminahobbin

I do it the odd time

I wander around the house if I'm on a long phone call to one of my best friends, so if I need to go I'll go. They're sort of used to it.

I like to include my friends in the nitty gritty of my life.

It's called multitasking.

It's called having a sh!t while you're talking to someone and I find it weird

have you tried more fibre in your diet?

My old housemate would do that, and flush the toilet while still on the phone. He was only ever on to his ma though, so I suppose she didn't mind. He used to also take his laptop in if he was watching something. That was weird.

Ehhh taking the laptop , I'd imagine he's decided to crack one off to whatever art film hes watching.

I don't doubt it was art films but unfortunately the walls were thin enough for me to know he was taking a poo

I suffer with Crohns, so when I am in work, I spend a lot of my breaks on the loo doing either thing so I have to make calls while I am there. It is grand til you have to flush! That can be embarrassing
