'Choosing Civility' in the Restroom
OK, I wish someone would explain to me why some people seem to think it is perfectly normal to carry on a cell phone conversation in the bathroom while doing their natural duty. I wonder if men do it as often as women. I admit to taking some perverse pleasure today in loudly flushing the toilet while overhearing one side of what sounded like a business conversation in the next stall. Personally I think it is rude and insulting to the person on the other end of the line. What if the President or Secretary of State talked to world leaders while using the "First Restroom," so to speak? Telecommuting is one thing, but it shouldn't be confused with telepooping. This is one of my pet peeves. I wonder what Miss Manners thinks.
