Why do people take their cell phones into the public restrooms with them?

Question

I mean seriously, what call is THAT important you can't wait until you're done wiping your behind to chit chat?

All the people calling me "trivial" and what not must be the ones using their phones while going to the restroom.

It doesn't bother me that much I was just wondering, because it's not something I would ever do.

And BTW, if you're on the phone in the stall next me and I'm put into a situation where I have no choice but to hear all your business, then YOU have made it my business.

Answer 1

i don't know. that's disgusting! there are so many germs in the bathroom & it's so rude to use the bathroom & talk to someone at the same time.

Answer 2

LOL, i don't be responsive to approximately speaking on a similar time as peeing, yet i think of this is nice if human beings communicate on the telephone in a public restroom fairly than, permit's say, interior the eating place section (that's what i stumble on annoying).

Answer 3

Most people take all their belongings into the restroom with them, they have their cell phone in their purse or their pocket so they carry it in rather than leaving it in their car or something where it could get stolen. And you definitely can't leave your belongings outside the stall!

I've never seen anyone dial while in the restroom, but other people can't possibly know they're just taking a dump, so it'll ring and then they'll pick it up. Doesn't sound so strange to me.

Answer 4

I did it once because I was on hold with the pediatrician trying to get an appointment for my sick son. If I hung up, it would have taken more time that I didn't have. I just happened to have to go to the bathroom. I don't have a camera on my phone so don't worry about it. Didn't they make cell phones so you can take them everywhere? I don't know how it affects you, does this make me not bright and pathetic? That's your opinion and it doesn't bother me.
So, yeah the call was that important.

Answer 5

You have to admit, people aren't the brightest animals on earth. Technology has far surpassed common sense.

I just read last week about a 27 y/o gal that was walking down the street eating a salad from a bowl and talking on her cell phone and ignored the cross-arms at a RR Crossing. Sadly to say, she was struck and killed.

A person needing to take their cell phone into a toilet makes about as much sense as eating lunch on the pot.

If intelligence and common sense was a requirement in using and having a cell phone, most of these Cellular companies would be out of business.

Answer 6

taking their cell phones into a restroom is one thing. I mean where are you supposed to leave it?

Talking on the phone in the restroom is another. Seriously does the person on the other end want to hear bathroom sounds?

Answer 7

They are rude. Watch out, people have been caught taking pictures over/under the stalls.

Answer 8

I only use my cell phone in the bathroom for one of two reasons: 1. to take a picture of the urinal mint and send it to a buddy for a laugh. Or, 2. Send the same buddy a picture of a nasty, overflowing with crap clogged toilet...with a text message that say "flush the next time you violate this toilet!"

Answer 9

Because cellphones are valuable and they don't want them stolen. Would you leave a hundred dollars sitting on a restaraunt table?

Answer 10

Where would you suggest people leave their phones while they are in the public toilet? Is there a secret cell phone locker that I haven't been told about?

Answer 11

I don't know. Maybe so that they can descibe the shape and size of thier waste products to loved ones.
