I just thought of 1 more funny toilet story...

My friend dropped her flip flop in a toilet!!

She's the type who won't touch anything in a public washroom... she hovers, and when she's done she flushes with her foot! She lost her balance, and splash! Talk about mortified!!! :o :lol: She had to fish it out, rinse it off, and wear it, and needless to say she was disgusted!!

I hate when people go "yellular" in restaurants, on sidewalks, in cafes, etc. but I think I'd freak out if the woman next to my stall in the loo was yakking away while she attends to bodily functions! I say, if you drop your phone in a toilet, how ridiculous were you to have it there in the first place???!!

Mine's clipped on my belt at all times. I've only used it in there if it rang, I checked caller id, and deemed it worth answering! Or if I really had to go, but the conversation wasn't over! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Has anyone placed a call from a bathroom???

Somtimes that is only place you can actually go to make the call and be heard or hear what the incoming is saying.
Only time will tell, if it was time well spent!

I've been pretty lucky about dropping stuff in the toilet, but one time my cat fell in.

I run a restaurant, and I think it's really rude when I see people ignoring waitstaff while they talk on their phone. But if the server walks away, they complain.

Or...Two people at a table. One on the phone for an hour. The other just sitting there looking annoyed.

OR....(This actually happened once). I was standing by the bar visiting with a regular. I heard a conversation. Meaning...one person at one table talking to another person 3 tables away. I'm not sure if they knew they were in the same place.

And one final thought - how funny would it be to discard a cell phone or pager that you plan to cancel into a port-o-pot or outhouse, and call it when you see people going in to use it? I think it would be hysterical to see their reactions when they come out, or if anyone's nuts enough to try to dig it out!!!

I apologize if I've ophicially grossed anyone out! :D
L-M-A-O!! I would love to see their reactions! On a slightly related note, a few years ago, I was visiting my grandmother, and she went outside and came back in to tell me that my trunk was standing wide open. I told her I must have accidentally left it open, and she said that she was going back outside, so she'd close it. Well, as she went outside, it dawned on me that I had one of those buttons on my keyring that pops the trunk! I went to the window and watched. When she closed it, I waited a few seconds and popped it! As I was watching out the window, she looked back at it and was stunned! (Her car is thirteen years old, so she has no idea that these buttons that go on your keyring exist!) She went back and closed it again, and then I waited a few seconds and popped it again! The look on her face was priceless! She walked over to my car, stood there, looked at it, and yelled at my trunk loud enough for me to hear it through the window, "You're crazy!" I opened the door and told her what I was doing, and she could have killed me! :lol: :lol:

I see where you're coming from there; that's horrible. I did have a similar situation happen to me once. I waited till after my waitress came to take my order, and after she left, I got on the phone and called my mother. Well, the service was really fast that night, and less than five minutes later, I'm sitting there chatting away with my mother when low and behold the waitress brings my food! Well, I had just about run out of things to tell my mom, and I really didn't want to have to call her back. So, I stayed on the phone as she put my food down in front of me. She saw that I was on the phone and didn't seem to mind. Well, now I'm trying to finish up my phone conversation, but my mom's not through yet (Don't you love it when you're trying to get off the phone, and the other person wants to tell you every detail of their life. But, that's another thread for another day! :D). Meanwhile, the waitress comes back with barbecue sauce. She wanted to point it out to me, so she kinda motioned at me, pointed to the sauce, and mouthed the words, "Barbecue sauce." I quietly said, "Okay, thank you." Well, my mom hears this and goes, "Do you need to go?" I said, "No, it's okay." (although in my head, I'm thinking, "Now that my food's here, I really would like to go, so I can eat!") About a minute or two later, she ran out of things to tell me, and she hung up. I felt bad for putting the waitress in that position, but I didn't mean to. I never expected my food to be out that fast.

About two years ago I dropped my brand new I-95C (Nextel) into the urinal at a local bar. Actually, it kinda slid of my belt as I was preparing to do my thing. Since I was somewhat intoxicated (big shock there, right) my reaction time was a little slower than normal. Anyway, by the time I rescued it from the bowl the LCD screen was all screwed up.

The funny thing was that it was a work phone, so I just told them that it fell into a puddle and they bought me a new one. :D
