Bleurgh.

I would not want to chat to you about stuff while you're on the throne.

The acoustics for one would spoil the ambience. Hard surfaces.

Are you bored Chaos? Grin

I work in a call centre. I hear this loads.

Also people phone in while they are in the bath.

Why?

It's just bloody wrong!

BadIdeaGenes · 10/06/2012 21:07

When people try and start conversations with me on the loo and I find myself sort of....clam up Blush I just can't go with someone talking to me.

However since it's normally my mum who does it, if I really need to know something I have no problem asking her through the door Hmm

ChaosTrulyReigns · 10/06/2012 21:07

Doies it show?

But no, this is serious stuff.

You wouldn;t want to hear about "what he said and then she said and the she turned round and said" while there were noises would you?

Sorry, done too much work today, not with it. I'll slink off quietly now..

Babylon1 · 10/06/2012 21:10

DH says it's not unreasonable providing it's only cold callers you talk to and make excuses for the noises; ie creaking door etc!!

Apparently this is a source of much laughter!!!

kittyandthefontanelles · 10/06/2012 21:10

I do when on to my mum. She does too. Just wees though. I wouldn't if on to my parish priest

Thankgodforcaffeine · 10/06/2012 21:11

I rather hate people eating while they're on the phone too. This moist chewing sound is just revolting

BadIdeaGenes · 10/06/2012 21:12

What if it's a really good conversation with a friend any you're busting for a wee?

Thankgodforcaffeine · 10/06/2012 21:18

You ask them to hold?

kittyandthefontanelles · 10/06/2012 21:18

Eating is worse

NameGotLostInCyberspace · 10/06/2012 21:19

It helped me alot one day. 4th degree tear and wasn't allowed to leave hospital until I went, As you might imagine I was petrified! Was chatting on mobile to friend and needed to go. So wheeled baby into bathroom and was distracted enough not to be so scared! So yabu Grin (in certain circumstances)

ChaosTrulyReigns · 10/06/2012 21:20

Shock

SIFOB.

My 4 year old was talking to my sister and niece on Skype on my phone the other day and disappeared for a few minutes. I went upstairs and she was sat on the toilet weeing and my sister and niece were watching and laughing their heads off! I was so embarrassed!

MateyM00 · 10/06/2012 21:25

my DH insists that i speak to anyone who phones any time of the night or day, no matter what i am doing.

this displeases me

so if you call me and i shout, I'm on the bog i'll call you back. i dont really want you to know what i'm upto, i want him to respect the fact that i'm uncontactable and take a blummin message!

He once gave me the phone when i was in the bath, i dropped it, but had lept out of the bath like a high jumper (full filsbury flop) onto the bathroom floor like a blummin dying fish, cos i didnt want to get electrocuted! Fucker!

Thankgodforcaffeine · 10/06/2012 21:26

What does SIFOB mean?

kittyandthefontanelles · 10/06/2012 21:26

Noisy eating makes my teeth go soft. I hate it. It's amplified down the phone as it's right next to the handset. Makes me feel sick. Compared to a little pissssss sound. Actually I don't think I've ever heard any noise. Ar you talking full on kerplunk? What's SIFOB?

I dont think using a phone in the bath would electrocute you!! Grin

thebody · 10/06/2012 21:31

My dad phones me while he is sucking on his food, he has 4 teeth!! Revolting!!!

That said I don't want to hear him crap either!

it didnt... but i thought it would... he'd been talking life insurance for ages before, and i have watched too many horror films!

HermioneE · 10/06/2012 21:57

People at my work do this and I HATE it. YADNBU. Equally bad is when people hang around by the basins while on the phone. Your friend does not need to hear me pee or anything else.

We have really noisy hand dryers now (the Dyson ones) and I have been known to use these excessively to make it impossible to have phone calls. Grin

AKissIsNotAContract · 10/06/2012 22:03

I can have a silent dump, no one would know whether I was laying a cable while on the phone to them.
