Do you talk on the phone when you use the restroom?
I do.
And yes, that was probably TMI. My wife says no one does this, I say everyone does this......
I don't flush, though! Not until after I've hung up. Although with my new phone thingmy I COULD... it cancels noises so well I can have a conversation in a Jeep with the roof off, and in a nightclub, and all they're getting is my voice. But it's habit.

No way...there are very specific things that I do in the bathroom and talking on the phone is NOT one of them.

Lol.
I almost sure my husband has cameras in the house and he on purpose calls me when I am in there!
In fact I think he just trained my brain that phone = pee.
Just today, he happened to call me twice, which for my surprise I wasn't in there, but as soon he calls I had to go, no joking.
On other times with other people, I try don't, a few times it just had to happen, like when you are with tech and they put you on hold (lol, I just laugh because they put you in hold...in the bathroom, haha, ok maybe it was funny just to me)for hours and just happen that they pick up just when you are in there!
So, yeah, I never do it on purpose and if I could I never would but it just happens sometimes.

No, I do not. And if I am in a public restroom and it sounds like someone in there is on the phone I am super mature and make sure I flush the toilet sevral, several times.

I am the opposite of LivTokyo....well...sorta. My best friend since junior highschool, for sure. We went to the bathroom together as kids and were there for the birth of each other's children. There are no secrets left to tell.
My husband, on the other hand? It took five years for me to pee with him outside the door. I will never be so married that I want either of us to talk on the phone to each other while in the bathroom, or (horror of horrors) do any of that business with the door open. I know....it makes me a silly prude....but it just grosses me out.

I don't text in the rest room either.
I have this irrational fear that I'd drop the phone in the toilet.
Besides, phones get dirty enough without that kind of residue on them.

Oh my gosh, my husband is on the phone, does his paperwork there, reads the articles, clips coupons, and insists I walk around him to go to the bathroom when he shaves. Yikes, I just gave too much information. I then cannot figure out why he would want to be romantic after he won't wait and I am sending stinky smells into the world. Go figure. As for me, I admit it, I have used the phone there and then run water if I have to flush the toilet, I am sure everyone can hear it, but so far no bad comments. You are very normal.

NEVER. But one time while chatting with a good friend, I heard what I thought was water running.. I said, hey you doing the dishes? and she said No,,, and then I heard the toilet flush. Women for the most part dont even want another woman hear them pee,, I just dont get it.
And is this a hands free phone J.? lol

No. I find it unsanitary. I used to work for a mobile phone company and people did that a LOT. I was so grossed out and always made sure not to touch anyone's phone no matter which new release it was and no matter how cool it was. :o) Also, I wondered how someone could stay on the line hearing another person evacuate their bowels or bladder. Ew. :x

No, I do not talk on the phone when I use the bathroom. Eeeewwww. Like 25 years ago, when I had my first corporate job, the president of the company had an extension in his office bathroom.
