jmcquown - 01 Jul 2005 20:44 GMT Okay, just called John. He said, "Hi Jill. I'm at the urinal in the mens room. I guess this means now we've done everything together!" Uh, I didn't expect you to answer the phone with your **** in your hand! He did put the phone down to wash his hands. Then he said he was going to go get a hot dog from one of the vendors and I just collapsed into giggles. Doesn't take all that much to amuse me :)

Jill's was good but this was even better.

The two minutes of audio (lens cap was on thank God) from the restroom was hilarious.

Personally, I don't think the urinal is a social location, in person or (especially not) on the phone.
Also, there is a funny flash game all about choosing a urinal:

In the middle of it was this "ker-splump" sound. He later confessed that he was playing with the camcorder (brand new) while on the throne... TMI!!!!!

TMI!!!!! Why would you beckon a cat to come to you when you're about to drop a... uh.... ker-flump? LOL

He's Vietnamese by birth (was among some of the last of the "boat people") and he does some weird (to us) things. He's completely colorbind and also has absolutley no sense of direction. I remember DH & I went over to their house (his wife is a local girl, blonde hair blue eyes, and their kids are simply BEAUTIFUL!!!!), he got a call from his brother & they were talking Vietnamese. But I could tell they were talking about computers, I don't think there's words in Vietnamese for "CD-ROM" & whatnot :D

It depends on how close you are with the person there, like if it's someone I know and we're talking on the way to the restroom, we'll keep talking in there.

I've always thought it was odd that women tend to go to the restroom in pairs. Hey, I can do it myself. I've never looked at a woman at the table and said, "come with me" unless there was something urgent I needed to tell her... which never happened. Only happens on sitcoms :)

Only happens on sitcoms :) It is a fascinating experiment in social response if the men in a mixed party prearrange to go to the gents' in a group.

I hestitated to flush for fear of making too much noise for her conversation. But then I thought this was the ladies room afterall. Back then the company provides everyone a cell phone so you can be reached all the time. But I refused to carry one. I don't want to get called when I am in the cafeteria or in the ladies room, and definitely not at home.

However, I never get calls on it, because it is only turned on when I'm making a call.

However, I never get calls on >it, because it is only turned on when I'm making a call. I didn't get a cell phone until about a year ago; I was job-hunting and wanted to increase the odds that a prospective employer would be able to reach me. Also, given that I have heart disease, I decided that it would be prudent to have a phone along with me wherever I went. I don't make or receive that many calls on it, but I have started talking to my sister (who lives in another state) more often. Calls after 9:00 PM, or on weekends, don't count against my allotment of minutes, so I can make a long-distance call for free.

Exactly the same reason I had to get one. Agencies want to be able to contact you there and then when work comes in so they can get back to their client as quickly as possible. I lost a bit of work before I got mine

I work for a phone company and I will never understand this. 8) There was a lady in the restroom who was carrying on a business call. She was in a stall that was apparently broken, because the toilet kept flushing. Not to mention the people going in and out of the restroom. She finally had to explain to the business people on the call that she was in a restroom and the toilet was broken.
I can't imagine what would possess you to take a business call in the restroom. It is bad enough when it is a personal call.
