Comment on What’s the Worst Place for a Phone Call? by Elisa Nuckle

Okay so, uh, I don’t take phone calls in bathrooms. I text. Duh. (WINK WINK.) But when I do hear some ridiculous phone calls in the stalls (I go to college, people have no concept of inside voices in a bathroom apparently), it honestly doesn’t bother me that much anymore. Why? This might sound a little odd, but I kind of like hearing the insanity of someone else’s life. It’s good writing material. I also tend to block out other people if they’re annoying me as I walk along. At least I’m not the one looking rude and idiotic. (My logic is undeniable ;D.)

BUT I do hate it when I’m stuck in the doctor’s waiting room with people talking very loudly on the phone for more than fifteen minutes about how stupid so and so was and yeah they were totally wasted last night. Or they’re just on the phone ignoring their kid.

@Tiffany: It’s definitely that “ewww” factor.

@Cat: Intrusive is a good word for it. I tend to use the cell sparingly (though I do like the convenience of texting). It’s pretty obnoxious how ppl talk endlessly on the phone everywhere. I thought the novelty would have worn off by now.

@Jess: What, no fffftt noises? Or comments about how you shouldn’t have had TWO burritos? LOL. I haven’t actually had ppl talking in the stall next to me but I’d be tempted to be really gross if I did. *innocent smile*

I’m with Tiffany, this is one of my BIGGEST pet peeves! Working in a mall for so many years, I would hear people talk on their phones in the bathroom constantly. So…being the polite person that I am, I would make it a point to flush the toilet A LOT while they talked. Because I’m a decent human being, and I want their friend to know that their friend is a disgusting individual.

Personally, I hate cell phones. I dislike how intrusive they are in all aspects of our lives. It seems like there is no getting away anymore and I’m always forced to listen to other people work, flirt or fight.

They have definitely given a new meaning to the term “public” speaking.”

I absolutely hate when people in the stalls next to me, or even at the sinks in the restrooms, take cell phone calls. I mean, hello? Is there anything more intrusive that having someone else hear your personal business?

[…] for reminding me how to make working footnotes in a blog post. The last time I used them was in my House of Leaves post. Come to think of it, I probably used the same site to learn how to do them in the first […]

I suppose we’re supposed to accept it as “all part of process,” right?

I can imagine a trip to the Arboretum would amp up the fever!
