What gets me are the people that regularly have audible phone conversations (both work and non-work related) while “sitting in the stalls” at the office…
@heartny@yakkoTDI Ok, OK, truth be told, I sometimes punctuate those calls by adding a few flushes myself.
But am I expecting too much?
I don’t care if my coworkers deal with emails, surf the internet, watch porn videos (as long as it’s with headphones!), or take a nap while behind a closed stall door in the bathroom, but can’t their phone calls wait until they are somewhere else? Is five minutes of conversationless peace really so unreasonable to ask for?
I fundamentally don’t get how it works. When I use a toilet, I shit and then I wipe. Shitting takes focus (and sometimes an airplane crash position) and wiping requires the use of a hand, so all I can picture is a person with a phone in one hand, toilet paper in the other, operating the touchscreen with their nose.
@yakkoTDI
yep… that combined with the fact I rarely even carry my phone means it doesn’t happen. Not really sure why people think I need to talk to them while they are ‘taking the boys to the pool’ anyway!
If I don’t have my laptop, sure
@awk You use your laptop on the toilet???
@awk @DoctorOW probably finishing a sed command real quick
@DoctorOW
pretty much guaranteed to have a lap at that time I guess…
@awk say what??

@ELJAY When that happens I make sure I time my flush strategically. And maybe some bonus noises.
@heartny I do the same thing.

@brennyn I think this is your problem
”Shitting takes focus (and sometimes an airplane crash position) "
Clearly I don’t use my phone anywhere but at home and well. Work from home. Had to go to the bathroom. Meh. No rush.
If you are adopting the crash position it’s time to put it down.
If it’s always that bad. Well. See someone
/youtube paint the bowl wash it away
Well, Seinfeld did shame me into not taking a book in there anymore.
@hchavers
I usually just use the brush and the bowl cleaner stuff - never tried using the phone …
@stolicat And phones are bloody useless for plunging.
@macromeh @stolicat as well as for wiping
I’m happy to keep my dog from using the toilet on my phone.
@phendrick
Most dogs ask for access to the yard.
I am rarely in there long enough to make it worth the time to pull out my phone.

Nope, just grab a copy of Juggs off the back of the toilet. I only crap in an auto mechanics men’s room from the 1980s.
