To say don't answer the phone on the toilet!

[daydrinker]

Especially a business phone call.

Just got off the phone to a potential new employer.

So angry, it was very clear the person was on the phone when they answered my call back.

AIBU to say it's never okay to be on the loo/in a toilet facility when answering the phone, only to very close loved ones as an exception?

Grim! Could you hear splashing noises in the background? Echoing off the walls?

Yuck. Do you really want to work there....??

Why what could you hear? Thrutching? Plopping?

I thought I heard a wee, then a flush just before we ended the conversation. It sounded like she was flushing as she was walking away from that spot

I also heard pops in the far distance but I'm sure it wasn't her because it was too far away

Just grim

Reminds me of the last time I went clubbing, my friends lost me and phoned me while I was on the loo. I answered it and loudly declared "Go away I'm having a poo!", the called me back and I shouted "I'm still having a poo"

It is the only time I have ever done it and I was deeply ashamed, now I find it as funny as the rest of my friends.

Reason number 237,845 why Dobby no longer goes clubbing / drinks to excess.

Ok, I'll admit I don't know.... what "thrutching" is or sounds like?

The noise when it's a bit runny as it comes out, Barbie

thrutching in this house is when it's the opposite of runny 😷

Was she definitely in the loo? I once accused my mother of being on the loo whilst on the phone to me as I heard water hitting water and then a flushing noise a few mins later. Then I heard my dad's voice and wondered wtf was going on. Turns out they were in the kitchen and she was filling and boiling the kettle

Either way, if it's a business call you should neither be filling a kettle or on the loo. If you are, you need to be putting yourself on mute!

Filling a kettle is at least something you could do in full sight of colleagues. And, if it's a potential employer as opposed to employee, I would wager she feels the balance of power is slightly in her favour so might not worry about OP knowing she was having a tea break. On the loo is just wrong though.

I once worked with someone who used to have loud phone conversations with clients in the ladies. They have to have heard all the flushing and other sounds in the background, and not just from her cubicle. We had to shop her because visitors also used those loos and she was discussing quite confidential stuff.

Possibly irrelevant fact: she was also a UKIP candidate.

I did OLD about 15 years ago (before I met my DH) and had a telephone conversation with somebody who sounded OK, until he said he needed to go for a pee. I thought OK then and tried to end the call, he carried on jabbering and when I finally managed to suggested ending the call so he could go to the toilet he told me he had already been! While we were talking! I didn't hear it (luckily) but eeeew - that put me right off. a) Just don't tell me - I don't actually know you and we have never met and b) Don't go while we are talking! So rude.
