Public bathrooms are just that.. Public.. not Private..

It has come to my attention that I must address a situation that most people seem to take for granted. A public bathroom is not yours to use as you please. It is not a private cell phone room for you to carry on conversations and I will flush multiple times until your caller knows where you are. I'm not sure when and where the trend started, but this has to stop. I don't care if you're talking to the Queen of England or the Pope, they can wait for you to finish in the restroom. If your phone begins to ring in the restroom, please don't answer it. Whoever is calling can wait five minutes for you to finish and call them back. I ask that you also not bring food into the bathroom. If you had to use the restroom so badly, why didn't you use the restroom before you left the restaurant or prior to going? I'm not asking for you to make a major life change, I am only asking that you have some common courtesy for spaces that are not yours.

Onward and Upward.

No wonder cell phones have such a high concentration of bacteria. EW!

there was someone in the Chicago airport doing this today. What is sooo important that people feel like they need to chat while they are in the stall? To me, don't you feel weird talking on the phone while your pants are around your ankles?

i *LOVE* flushing repeatedly when someone is busy chatting with the wife or whoever in the stall next to me.
