I just recently found out that many people are afraid to admit when they are on the phone that they are on the toilet because they are embarrassed and i said this would be a good topic..............i am not embarrassed to admit to whoever im talking to that im on the toilet, its a natural part of life why be embarrassed, we all use the toilet. What do you all say?

hey.. we're on the same boat!!
sometimes, i spend about 4 to 5 hours straight talking to my pals on the phone. if i'm urgent, i'd just go visit the big white throne. if the other party can hear my flush sound then so be it. If he / she doesn't then so be it.
I even had a friend call me whist i was in the bath. I ended up talking to her on speaker whilst bathing. I find there is no problem in that at all.
But of course, if i'm talking to someone important (say my boss or my teacher), or someone who commands a certain amount of respect, i'd of course play by ear.

well i can see the respect issue but hey if you are on the toilet you are on the toilet you cant just pause in the midst.........i talk on speaker phone alot to my friends while bathing or on the toilet, i look at it this way if they want to talk to me and i gotta go well then they get to go with me. This all started because i was in north carolina and my mom says i gotta go to the toilet so do you mind if i take you with me, i told her go ahead ill travel along with you so it became a joke to me from then on and i got over being embarrassed and shy about it.

I think it's easy to hear if someone is on the phone and at the toilet at the same time. If necessary no problem with me. Mostly answering the phone I don't find necessary, it can wait.
If I answer the phone I think I should be able to pay attention to what is said. Not be busy with something else. So.. I never answer the phone if I am in the supermarket, bus, driving the car, etc etc. I also look for a quit place to call.

Hi. Zelda414. I would not tell anyone that I am on the toilet, talking to them while I am on the telephone. They may would get disgusted. I will keep this to myself. If I have to flush the toilet, I will just place the telephone down. I will act like I am in another room too.

Sometimes im also ashamed if one of my friends called me and i was on the toilet sitting. But if my boyfriend called me up i told him that im on it. We just laughed and he will told me that ill finish first what im doing and he will call me up again. besides its natural everybody go through it every day of their lives. right? so why be embarrased about it.

There is no reason why one should be afraid to tell, he/she is in the toilet, one can avoid other things but never, call of nature.
i don't carry my cell phone to toilet, so have never faced this kind of situation lol
Thanks for sharing
Cheers.
God bless you, have a nice day ahead.
