Inquiring minds want to know.

How come whenever I sit down to have a BM, the phone rings?

It just happened again, for the thousandth time.

It is a complete mystery (in the space and time continuum).   

How does it know?

Back in the dark days before cell phones, my dad actually wired and installed a phone in the bathroom just so he wouldn't have to get up to answer it at those times...

Now a days, since I've got my cell with me everywhere, it's not really an issue anymore.

Besides, 99% of the time when it rings it's a spam call anyway, and they deserve what they get when I answer it on the throne. Anyone that's a friend or family would know to message me, not call me...

Some people have ringing in their ears. Others may have a different problem.

What cracks me up is when I call one of my girls or call a friend and his wife answers, and in the background I hear that unmistakable whizzing sound of a lady on the throne. Why do they think you can't hear it? I tell my girls to not answer if you're temporarily preoccupied. As for my buddy's wife, I kidded him about it and he apparently told her....she was mortified, said she'll never answer the phone again if she sees it's me.

It would be way less shocking/offensive if you disabled the picture phone aspect while on the throne

Either get a cordless phone, don't answer or don't take a crap.
Personally I do the second option.

Maybe you're not in the house much, and whenever you're home, that's when you do your business?

If it's important, they can leave a message.  I don't want to hear their bathroom sounds, and I assume they don't want to hear mine.

and if you are tired of waiting for the doorbell to ring just walk into the bathroom



Alone Working today.... it never fails

Also sitting down with the chinese food  same thing

Answered the phone whilst-well-what we are talkin bout. Lets just say at the start of the conversation a TREMENDOUS amount of gas escaped while talking.  The party to whom I was conversing with asked me to call back when I was no longer occupied.  Consequently I NO longer talk calls while seated on the throne where everyone IS equal.  RIDE SAFE.

I knew people who also had phones in their bathrooms. Personally, I always wondered about the cleanliness of said phone. (No offense towards your Dad)

It seems to be fairly common when I get a call the first thing asked is , whatcha doing? And when that happens on the occasion that I'm in the bathroom I reply, "I'm sitting on my throne surveying my kingdom!"

After that, the people who know me well just continue on with conversation, the rest quickly find something they need to go do right away.

Reminds me of this classic:

A middle-aged couple had finally learned how to send and receive texts on their cell phones.

The wife, being a romantic at heart, decided one day that she'd send her husband a text while she was out of the house having coffee with a friend. She texted:

If you are sleeping, send me your dreams.
If you are laughing, send me your smile.
If you are eating, send me a bite.
If you are drinking, send me a sip.
If you are crying, send me your tears.
I love you.

The husband, being a no-nonsense sort of guy, texted back:

I'm on the toilet. Please advise.

Not quite on topic, but with regard to the phone in the bathroom:  When I was a cop, received an call for a burglar alarm.  Responded and checked the residence, finding an unlocked door.  Checked said residence room by room until coming to the final room. As I neared the door to the room, I could hear a female moaning.  Upon shining my flashlight into the room It was apparent that I had caused coitus interuptis.  Upon determining that the situation was consensual, myself, the wife and her husband tried to determine what had tripped the alarm.  We found the wall mount phone which was in the bathroom next to the commode, and had a combined handset with keypad, off of the cradle and laying on the floor, covered in dog slobber.  The family pet, a beagle, had been in another room during my search, but had not made a sound when I entered the house.  The interrupted couple then told me that the dog had taken the phone off of the hook before.  Apparently the dog had mouthed the handset in just the right way to dial 911!  I think the phone was mounted higher on the wall after that incident.

MM, that is one crazy story.  Danger, crime, sex, suspense, dog, and technology gone wrong.   

And it is true that truth is stranger than fiction.

The things that happened in state university dormitories during my three years as a resident adviser there would make a decent book of short stories. 

Just one starts out with one of my guys hunting me down in the common bathroom on our floor on a quiet Sunday afternoon...... he had a naked girl in his room and she wouldn't leave, and he didn't know what to do.  (not making it up either) (with my help and urging, he later became the first freshman (and black) ever elected as student body president.   

[Hooter]

Jess, try using someone else's bathroom. If it still happens, flush the phone when you are done and buy a new one, someone is looking at you. Even now!

[solo1]

I'm kinda of the old school.  I have three cordless phones and an answering machine. I answer no calls, I let the answering machine do it.  Takes all the fun out of it but I don't get pissed off.

Too many nuisance calls.

Apparently you don't know about the web camera in your bathroom?

I frequently get engrossed in things to where the only thing that interrupts me is a trip to the pot. Often I'll think of something I was going to ask my sweetie about, so I'll grab my cellphone and use the sit time to good advantage. It's become a running joke that I'll start out with, "Hi honey, taking a sh**, so naturally I thought of you".
