Phone in the bathroom?
Of course! I call and receive calls in any bathroom
. . . at home only
I will answer if the call is important
Texting is fine, but not voice
Really? No. Just no.

So a co-workers habits prompts me to ask this.

I wonder if my reaction is as odd as I perceive the actions to be.

With my girlfriend, no, because she specifically forbids it. Sometimes I just ask her a question to get her talking then put it on mute when I'm doing my business as to leave her none the wiser. I still have to cover the receiver to avoid the echo, however. Otherwise, yes.

Worship me.

Well, let's just say, for me I reverse it if I am in doubt. Example:

Would I go to the bathroom on my phone? No, just no.

But, I will occasionally flip through my Codex in there. Hmm, is this why I struggle as a player?

You clean off the phone when done, right?

Anyway it's stupid to use your phone in the bathroom. That's what Twitter is for.

I'm writing a load of fiction. My latest story starts here... This is the index of all the stories...

We're not very big on official rules. Rules lead to people looking for loopholes. What's here is about it.

I will text while in the bathroom, but I refuse to talk on the phone. It's just inconsiderate and rude to do so. I mean, I don't want to talk to someone while they are doing their business.
