We shouldn’t have to say this.
We shouldn’t, but our recent experience tells us that some of you somehow didn’t get the memo, or the proper upbringing, or, Jesus Christ, don’t have any common sense whatsoever. So, we have to say it. So, I’m gonna say it.
Just because you can carry your cell phone into the bathroom and talk on it while you’re doing your err…while you’re umm…OK…TAKING A SHIT doesn’t mean you should.
In fact, it’s the grossest thing ever. It’s awkward not only for you, the dumbass, who is talking on the phone while he is taking a shit, but also for the person that is on the other end of the line with you.
That’s because they can hear you. Grunting. Farting. Splashing. Flushing. It’s disgusting.
It’s equally awkward for the other guy in the bathroom with you who just needs to blow his nose, or take a leak, or whatever. He doesn’t want to hear you doing business deals or talking to your mom, or your wife or your kids or whatever while your farting your ass off. Plus now, he has to feel sorry for you for being such a loser.
And seriously, there is no reason for it. Sure, you are a busy person. You have a lot to do, multi-tasking is important, blah blah blah. But ask yourself this; Can this phone call really not wait 5 (ok 10 for some, maybe a half hour for “long dumpers”) minutes? You know, so your business associates / loved ones don’t have to hear you blasting ass?
Some people do everything in their power possible to avoid public bathrooms just so they don’t have to hear people shitting, and now you are going to go and bring it to them, via your shit-talking (shitting-phoning?) ways.
So please, don’t be a freak. Either that dump or that phone call can wait. Trust us.

I’m with you, The Steve. And you know what, a courtesy flush here or there is appreciated.

I thought this was going to be about people who talk to you from a different stall while you’re both going to the bathroom. I REALLY hate when people do that!

Oh my god, this happened to me about two hours ago. Some of the people at my work don’t seem to have any problem at all just striking up a fucking conversation while I’m TCB. WTF man? I know you can tell from my shoes that it’s me in the stall but JESUS FUCKING CHRIST don’t talk to me while I’m shitting!

im all for it in the privacy of the home, assuming you can control the volume levels. but in public facilities? shoot yourself in the face.

Squidge/R. - I think that’s equally gross. There should be no talking allowed in the bathroom. Like a library or something.

How about this…you are traveling and you stop at a rest stop and go inside for relief. The guy in the stall says “hey, how are you”? You say fine and he asks “where you going” you answer. He asks when you think you will be there and you answer again. Then he says, hey I’ll call you back the idiot in the next stall thinks I am talking to him!! We need blocks so cell phones don’t work in restrooms, when cars are in gear, in the movies and a bunch of other places. Wouldn’t be that hard to accomplish…

What’s that old saying? “If dumps are falling, don’t be calling. When the dumping’s done, have some fun!”
February 28th, 2008 at 4:25 pm
That’s it. I love that old saying.

Hah, RickyJoeJr that sounds like an awesome movie scene!
I actually know someone that had a phone job interview while on the shitter. I’ve talked to my mother while on the toilet…man that’s weird. I hope she doesn’t read this.

Toilets are for emails and games of brickbreaker.
