While answering the call of nature, would you make/ans a call?

I attended a seminar the whole day today in one of the local hotels here. We were treated to a great lunch by our trainer, and had a little break before resuming the lessons. I used the short free time to brush my teeth inside the gents room. As I was brushing my teeth, someone behind me said "Hello" in a very loud voice. I turned around and all I saw was this "occupied" cubicle. I was tempted to greet him back, but then he started talking again and I realized he was using his mobile phone. Personally I never will never use my mobile phone while I'm doing something in the gents room, and I'm a bit annoyed at people who do that, specially since one can easily hear what they're talking about. So have you ever made/answered a call while you're doing your thing inside the comfort room? Have you ever encountered someone who did while you are inside, and how did it make you feel? I would love to hear your thoughts on this one. Cheers!

Hi Jen. Yeah I'm kinda embarrased doing it myself . I remember one time my wife called me when I was at the restroom doing my thing, I immediately turned my cellphone off rather than answering her, I don't know, I'm not comfortable doing it, I guess that's why I'm bothered when people do it. Cheers!

Cheers yourself! I have encountered this and had no problem with it. We all have to do what we have to do with the 24 hours given us each day. I think if a person choses to make his calls in the john then let him. His chose. His life. And I think that he probably knows that others will probably hear parts of his conversation. Life goes on regardless and I doubt anyone is judged too harshly for any fragment of any conversation heard in this situation.

Hey there celticeagle. Yeah it's his life alright, I'm just annoyed by the fact that he does that. I just try to get out of the room asap. Cheers!
