I encountered one of those twenty first century etiquette dilemmas this morning and seek the wise counsel of my fellow Bounce members.

I was sitting on the toilet when my mobile rang, flashing up with a number I didn't recognise. I'm currently waiting to hear about a job so after havering for a couple of rings I answered. It turned out to be my mate's missus asking about arrangements for something or other. I was then forced to continue the conversation while hoping the echo of the enclosed walls wouldn't give away the fact that I was actually mid movement while concentrating on not making any loud splashing noises or involuntary grunts.

So, fellow bouncers - do you answer your phone when you are on the throne? If so, do you let on?

Thanks
 
Yup; and depends who it is. If it's my mates, I take great delight in informing them that I am laying a giant cable.

If it's my mate's bird, not so much [emoji1]

As above, it depends. I'll happily tell the wife/friends/most family I'm
having a Barry White if they rings me whilst on the throne.

An unknown number, I'd perhaps have been more cautious.
 
I'd be cautious about using Facetime in these circumstances.
:lookaround:

Top marks for the thread title.

No dilemma as the phone doesn't enter the bathroom.
End.
 
I will answer the phone if I know who is calling and it's one of my mates and like [MENTION=7996]aggie[/MENTION] I would happily tell the caller I'm having a dump. If it was my mum calling though I'd leave it and ring her back later.
