5. I hate it.
If I had to go I would take a break from the conversation and set the phone down or call them back. I really don't want to hear this person pee and he just doesn't get it.

6. Nope
Means they're comfortable around me.

I've done it a couple times, and it's been done "to" me.

9. Yes, of course it's rude. Next to eating while on the phone,
it's about the rudest thing that a phone conversation-mate can do.

Utterly inexcusable and uncalled for.

There are totally tactful ways to deal with it - such as "Excuse me for a moment."

10. Not at all.
I'm assuming you're talking about a friend.

Phones (and answering machines) pick up all kinds of sounds.

17. Whenever some asshole is in a stall next to me
and starts talking on his phone, I make it a point to groan and flush repeatedly.

16. Interesting
My friend Mike and I were just talking about this very subject a little over an hour ago. Neither one of us care and do it all the time when we are talking to each other. However we realize some people get ooky about it so we don't do it with just anybody.

19. I think it depends on whether you called them or they called you.
If you called someone just as they were on their way to the bathroom and you talk a lot and they didn't have a chance to say, "Hold on a minute," then I think it would be OK. On the other hand, people who call you from their bathroom or when they're eating should be shot!

20. Unless it's somebody colse enough that they'd remain in the room
were you to require the facilities during an in-person conversation, it's best to set the phone down or call back.

23. Depends on how well I know them.
If it's someone I know really well, then I couldn't care less.

If it's someone I don't know very well, then that would be incredibly rude.

24. the person at Comcast customer service? yes, my best friend, no.
Edited on Wed Mar-01-06 03:23 AM by fleabert
I'd rather hear a tinkle than stop the conversation! this is a person I wouldn't think twice about doing the same in person either. In my family, peeing was not cause for closing the bathroom door, and in my close circle of friends, the same is true.

so the phone thing doesn't even cross my mind as odd.

28. When I was pregnant and I had to go right then and there I'd put the
water on as loud and fast as it would go and wait until I was off the phone to flush.

29. Not if it is a bill collector
then you should pee, puke, fart, and generally make a lot of very basic noises.

30. Depends on the person ...
A good friend or my sister, no -- I'd think it was funny. In fact, my friend K. often says "hold on a second, I have to pee."

31. I think it's okay
to put the phone down once in a while.

I think it's fine to excuse yourself for a few personal moments and promise to phone right back.

I think there are few conversations so urgent in nature that they should not be ended to tend to the business of ones bodily functions.

35. I think so but my husband does that
I always say, "Did you pee while you were on the phone?" and he'll say, "They don't know what I'm doing" and I'll say, "that doesn't make it OK!"

43. My wife does that to me all the time.
I can't do it (not good at that type of multitasking). She also loads and unloads the dishwasher when she's on the phone with me.

46. Maybe, depending on who the person is.
Still, I wish people wouldn't. I don't recall ever talking to someone who was using the restroom at the same time. I certainly don't use the restroom while on the phone.

47. My Dad has actually said:"Hang on, I have to take a dump"
Then he takes the phone in the crapper with him an continues to talk. That's gross. If you have to do it, at leat be discreet.

48. Friend of ours did that to my wife
When she asked him he sheepishly admitted to it.
She hung up on him.
He called back to flush.
