“Sent from my iLoo” - signs email has gone too far

“Sent from my iLoo” - signs email has gone too far

TODAY I held an informal poll.

It was conducted by a show of hands among six tech types.

And it involved a very intimate topic: whether they felt it OK to use a mobile phone on the toilet.

The shocking results? Five out of six people use their phone on the toilet to check email and consider it a practical use of time.

Thankfully, they were not quite as keen to chat inside the water closet.

Still, at this rate someone is bound to make a bundle of cash creating a combined toilet roll holder and iPad holster.

2. I have been in the men's room at work....
and have heard some guy talking to someone on the phone. Its just DAMN RUDE. It is SO IMPORTANT that it can't wait for a few minutes until you finish and leave the bathroom? How do they think the person on the other end of such a call feels when they hear a flush? Bloody idiots.

3. If I am in a public restroom and hear someone on the phone...
I make sure to flush and might even flush more than once or more than one toilet.

I know it is a waste of water, but I can't resist trying to make sure the person on the other end of the call knows where the call is coming from.

I heard a guy in the stall yesterday at Target yapping on his phone, while adding his own, umm, soundtrack.
