While doing some internet research for a future blog, I somehow strayed and came across this hilarious article by Rob Pegoran, who writes for The Washington Post about people who talk on their cell phones while in the bathroom.  So, instead of my intended blog, I decided instead to write about one of the REALLY important things in everyone’s life.  Have you ever walked into a public restroom and heard someone chatting away on their cell phones?  Here’s part of Rob’s article.

“I don’t mean to be crude, but this is a serious problem, far worse than BlackBerrying at the dinner table. Too many guys have no problem flipping open their phones to chat when they’re standing at a urinal or sitting in a stall–at a bar, an airport, or a convention center. Even, I’m dismayed to admit; in the Post’s newsroom. And it’s not like any of these calls are remotely urgent. Nobody’s blurting out things like ‘SELL! You’ve gotta get me out of this stock,’ ‘Thank God you finally found a kidney donor!’ or ‘They just found all those e-mails I deleted?’ No, these are boring old calls that can and should wait until you’re out of the can.  (I don’t know if the same thing happens in women’s restrooms. Can somebody enlighten me on that?)  Anyway, this has to stop. Besides the obvious risk of dropping the phone–are you really going to want to hold that thing up to your mouth afterwards?–what do you think this sounds like to the people on the other end of the line? I don’t know about you, but if I hear flushing (much less any other… background noises), I’m hanging up.  Somebody, please, tell me I’m not the only one appalled by this.”
