Now I'm no expert on etiquette, but I wouldn't say I'm ignorant to it either. There are manners and social standards that society has placed upon us concerning our public behavior, and I would say that most of the time we follow them because, well, we should. Well ladies and gentlemen, do I have a story for you....
Since when is it okay to talk on your cell phone in the bathroom in a public restroom, while you are USING the bathroom? I'm sorry, but this is just wrong.
I don't care how important that phone call is, it can wait the five minutes it takes you to enter the bathroom, do your "business," wash your hands, and then leave. There is no absolute reason that you should have to be sitting on the toilet with a cell phone in your hand in a public restroom, hearing flushing in the background, and having a full on conversation.
The only reason, and trust me the only reason I even brought this up was because I had the unfortunate opportunity to witness this happening at work today. A woman walked into the bathroom on the phone, went in the stall on the phone, continued to talk when other people were flushing the toilet, came out of the stall on the phone, washed her hands, and left....still on the phone!
The funniest part of it was that when she walked out of the stall, she gave me a look saying "Excuse me, I'm having a private conversation." Well lady, next time you're having a private conversation, you may not want to be in a place where people are doing their "private business."
And how about the only thing I kept thinking was that there was some poor sucker on the other line that had to listen to all of that....
