    I always answer the phone on the loo if it rings. Heck there has been a few times i've been on the phone and needed to go so went to bathroom with phone and done my business! maybe its a guy thing though the same way we always read on the loo too!

    Gross! Can you not just ring them back? I'd hit the roof if i heard a *plop* while on the phone to someone!

    what if it's a matter of life and death. Or you have no credit? Probably best if you ever need to ring me not to do it between 8 and 9 in the morning and evening. Thats my usual poo time, there can be others through the day but they are my main ones!

    Here here! No-one to my knowledge has twigged it. Although, on occasion, the 'echo' might have given it away.

    Toilet roll 'padding' of bowl before plop FTW.

    Lost my wallet a couple months ago. Had my id in it. Some girl found it and then found me through facebook and gave it back to me.

    Many years ago I was walking from work to the bus stop. I was in Dublin 4 at the time and passing the Canal.

    I was so sick of my phone that I took out the Sim Card and just tossed it into the canal without hesitation. It wasn't a terrible phone but I couldn't get to grips with it. Didn't like a lot about that phone.

    I was earning enough at the time to go out and buy a new one on PAYG that I did like. I didn't make any Insurance claim whatsoever and I loved my new phone.

    But I also lost several phones throughout the years, as well as other things

    I girl I know lost 7 phones in a two year period. She's grand now though, must have been a phase.

    I used to be this girl!! Well maybe not this exact girl, but ykno...

    If I lost a phone my firends would just say 'another one??' and got really used to me replying 'whos this?' to messages cuz Id lost all my numbers all the time :D

    Expensive habit tho even tho I just got crappy phones, and Ive copped on at last-havent had a new one for about a year (crazy good going for me!)
    Only ever got one back (Id left it on a bus) The rest were never to be seen again. I wouldnt like to hazard a guess at how many ive gone thru...

    I have found loads of phones tho (where i work people are always losing em) and Ive always rang somebody in their phone book to get it back to them
    Sometimes karma just doesnt pay ya back :P

    Lost a phone many years ago in an internet cafe in dublin. left it beside the computer by accident. Raced back in straight away but it was already gone!!

    I was devastated, Didn’t give a **** about the actually phone but it had very durty pics I had taken with an ex gf on it!!!

    Never got it back and never told the ex gf!!
    Lesson learned, Never leave anything personal on your phone!

    Trawl ceratin websites. It's your duty to look at every porn pic on the internet in an effort to find them and then contact the interweb master (bubbles) to have them removed :)

    I found a phone on the street once when i lived in Galway. Went thru the numbers til i found the name "MA", rang her and arranged to meet to give it back.

    Not only did she not say thanks, she basically accused me of stealing it in the first place.

    So i called her a cnut.

    Neighbours may not have snatched it. Cold caller, leaflet dropper or indeed the post man. # Oh a stroker is a person in your neighbourhood, in your neighbourhood, in your neighbourhood # :)

    I found a nokia camera fone a few years back, when they wernt all that common. I rang the number in the phone for Ma, who it turned out wasent interested at all. Told me Id have to give his wife a call. Obviously told to do it her self and where he could collect it. The lad turned up a few hours later, barely got a thanks, let alone a few quid. Iv never lost a fone but if I did wud defo give someone a few quid for returning it, only right to show some degree of gratitude
