Cellphones and Restrooms.
When using the restroom yesterday at work, I could not believe what I heard coming from the next stall. I walked in and proceeded to do my business when all of a sudden I hear a voice. At first I thought maybe the girl (I say girl because she works on my floor and I rode the same elevator with her to the ground floor restrooms. Which I usually use because there is more privacy. I am weird like that.) Anyway I hear her talking and suddenly I realize she is on her cellphone. Are you kidding me? Apparently not.
Now I am an avid believer in that there are several places you should not be using your cellphone.
- The car while you are driving, for obiouse reasons
- The grocery store when you are checking out or ordering deli meats.
- Any public restroom. For that matter, any private restroom either.
It is bad enough that you have to listen to other people’s converstations in stores , at work and various other public places, but I draw the line in the restroom. I actually used to work in a grocery store deli and I can not tell you how many people used their cells while ordering their meat and cheese. The worst was a couple that were both on their cells taking to different people, I assume, and in between ordering, were engrossed in their conversations.
I could be wrong, but people, please make the restroom and no phone zone. Should I tell Oprah about this?
