do you use your cell phone in public restrooms or while you are in a stall.

The other day, I was entering the restroom in one of our shopping malls, and as I walked in the door, I heard someone talking, but I couldn't see anyone. At that moment I suddenly remembered an e-mail joke that I received about those using their cellphone while they were in the stall, and I couldn't help laughing out loud, because I thought the joke was hilarious - I stuck it in here for another good laugh.
Do you ever find yourself chatting away while you are in a public restroom?
JOKE:
[i]"Leaving Miami for Ft Lauderdale, I decided to stop at one of those rest areas on the side of the road. I go into the bathroom. The first stall is taken, so I go into the second stall. I had just sat down when I hear a voice from the other stall…..“Hi there, how is it going?”
Okay, I am not the type to strike up conversations with strangers in washrooms on the side of the road. I didn’t know what to say, so finally I say…“Not bad.”
Then the voice says: “So, what are you doing?”
I am starting to find this a bit weird, but I say: “Well, I’m going to Ft. Lauderdale.”
Then I hear the person, all flustered, say: “Look, I’ll call you back…everytime I ask you a question, this idiot in the next stall keeps answering me!!”[/i]

I don't have a cellphone b/c I can't stand them but I have seen ppl doing just that. It seems like ppl can't go 5 seconds without being on the cellphone. I really think it's gotten insane. I remember hearing somewhere about a guy that went into a restaurant and sat down to eat. The guy at the next table was talking on his cellphone. Everyone around them heard the guy on the phone talking about his recent blood tests, the results that he found out he had HIV, and that he didn't know which of his partners he'd gotten it from. WWWWWAAAAYYYYY to much information to be sharing. Sometimes it's better not to have a cellphone.

Oh my! What was that guy thinking? I don't even like using a cell phone around other people because I believe my conversation is personal, and doesn't have to be overheard by thousands of other people. I always go outside to use it when it's needed.
Thanks

I would never use my cell phone in a public bathroom. Maybe for texting, but talking on the phone? No way. The bathroom has good acoustics, so I wouldn't want anyone to listen in to my phone conversation.

I am not using cell phones in public restrooms neither in a stall, since its not advisable to use it there it might fall when you use it while you are in the restrooms, so I never use it. I will just select a place where I can open my cellphones safety using it.
We cannot use it in public since its not safe many snatchers are around the corner that might snacth your cellphone.

I would not answer the phone while in the bathroom, especially a public restroom, the joke is funny but the person on the cell phone is rude, lol. I would have pretended to be on the phone and say, thank God the moron next to me hang up, now I can talk better to you. LOL

First of all it was really a hilarious joke, I am still smiling.I think when I am in a restroom things can wait till i am finished so I won't be in a conversation over the phone or by the side booth either........Lol

lol...glad you enjoyed...it is rather funny to hear someone on the phone when they are busy in the restroom. They are lucky that the phone doesn't fall in.

Hey,
You would be surprised how many people use their phone while they are in the toilet, this happens especially at school, where the school doesn't allow you to access your phones, only for emergency purposes. That is a funny story you have above, very true, but it has never happened to me. Make sure you have a good day, Happy Lotting!!

The big question is, what did we do several years ago, when cell phones didn't exist....it's hard to imagine that now. lol

I can use my cell phone in restroom but not in bathroom. If phone is ringing again and again it means something urgent call so I picks it up. I read here one discussion talking from toilet and after reading your discussion I remember that funny discussion.

No! Never! In fact no one use restroom for using cellphone. But it is found that most of girls who want to talk with their bf or boys who want to their gf use restroom to chat thinking it is a peaceful place to chat.
