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 :)

That reminds me of a time when I was at work, my phone was in my pocket
set on vibrate. A girl I've known for years rang me, I answered and
said, "please don't tickle my balls when I'm at work"

Shortly after we got our first video camera, Charlie took it along on a trip
to Mexico.  He always did have a problem telling if it was on or off.  The
two minutes of audio (lens cap was on thank God) from the restroom was
hilarious.

Do the guys talk to each other while studiously avoiding look at each other
at the urinals?  Inquiring minds want to know!

Sometimes.

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:

I used to have a sound file that was takend from a friend's camcorder - it
was him, calling one of the family cat (Peaches, just like Jill's bird) to
come to him.  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!!!!!

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

I don't know what he was thinking.  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

Some do, some don't. 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 :)

It is a fascinating experiment in social response if the men in a mixed
party prearrange to go to the gents' in a group.

Once at work I went into the ladies room and heard somebody
talking. There was only 1 stall that was occupied. The woman
was talking on her cell phone. 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.

I have a cell phone, which comes in handy if I get lost or find myself
running late on the way to an appointment.  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.

One of my friends a fellow medical secretary once picked up a
Dictaphone tape and when she played it back it became obvious the
doctor dictating on the tape was in the toilet!
