AIBU?

to have a poo whilst talking on the telephone

obviously I wouldn't do it to a prospective employer, but I often take the phone into the toilet with me when my mum, sis, or hubby rings.

It drives my husband mad but is it really such a terrible thing. Surely I am only multi-tasking?

Can they tell you are having a poo? Do they hear the splashes?

I would only do it if I was talking to my Mum on the phone or DH
And my Mum would do it while talking to me!

Oh please, as if anyone can tell! Just shove loo roll down the loo so there are no sound effects, try not to grunt and don't flush until you put the phone down.

well I'm not sure what they can hear it's just that when I flush they say incredulously "are you on the toilet!!!!!" so they must hear the flush and probably they can hear the wee too.

I do sometimes try to cough when I think the poo is going to hit the water though, to try to disguise what I'm actually doing.

Hecate what a fiendishly clever idea - loo roll down the loo to muffle the sound effects - you've done it too haven't you.

I very occasionally wee whilst on the phone but chuck loads of loo roll in first and 'hover', I wait until I've hung up to go back and flush.

Screw the carbon footprint/ etiquette issues.
If I'm in the middle of a great conversation I know I'd rather just quickly go than ask to call back and lose 'the moment'

So it's OK to wee but not OK to poo

no, nametaken, I don't have a cordless phone and I don't think it'd stretch from the living room. I'm not opposed in principle to splatting and chatting, but I think running an extension upstairs so I can plug it in the bathroom is a little much, even by my standards.
