Etiquette
October 13th, 2009
Cell phones allow us to do all sorts of unwise things, like continuing a conversation with someone while you’re sitting down to relieve yourself. Bad form, so people try and hide it. They mute the phone when flushing, and when running water, hoping that the person on the other end won’t figure it out. Icky, but not really a problem.
So, what do you do when somone else is on the phone, in a public restroom? Are you allowed to make your normal bathroom noises, or is that considered rude? Are you forced to help them maintain the illusion?
Should you warn them before flushing?
This bothers me.

When a person in another stall is on the phone, I often find myself overwhelmed by the urge to make uncommonly loud and aggressive farting noises. The very thought of doing so usually makes me laugh, which I figure is just about as good. The person then needs to explain why there is someone chuckling in the background.
