It91裸聊视频檚 been years since I first encountered the issue, but to this day, I still can91裸聊视频檛 quite understand it: why is it that people need to talk on the phone while using the loo?

I remember the first time I 91裸聊视频渆xperienced91裸聊视频� it. I was in the middle of a phone interview with a woman 91裸聊视频� for a story that I no longer remember the specifics of 91裸聊视频� and suddenly, the distinct sound of a toilet flushing came over the line. It was clearly in the very near proximity of the woman I was speaking to, and I remember I was horrified. I91裸聊视频檓 still horrified.

Now, it91裸聊视频檚 quite possible that the woman I was speaking with all those years ago was in the middle of some must-be-finished-now cleaning of said toilet, and that the flush was the final rinse that simply couldn91裸聊视频檛 wait.

But91裸聊视频� I91裸聊视频檓 doubtful.

Thankfully, years passed before the issue began to swirl afresh.

But sadly, in addition to reappearing, the practice has become rather regular. More and more often 91裸聊视频� weekly, at least, in my experience 91裸聊视频� I91裸聊视频檓 hearing the sounds of conversation coming from occupied public washroom stalls, with the chatter continuing through every step of the process.

And these aren91裸聊视频檛 emergency phone calls 91裸聊视频� I have no problem with those whatsoever. I91裸聊视频檒l even admit that I91裸聊视频檝e sent a panicked communication 91裸聊视频� but not a phone call 91裸聊视频� from a public-washroom stall myself, after falling ill at the ski hill and being simply too sick to exit without assistance.

I91裸聊视频檓 OK with anyone reaching out from anywhere, if help is needed.

But casual conversation from the 91裸聊视频榗omfort91裸聊视频� of a porcelain bowl? Certainly that can wait, if whatever you sat down to accomplish simply can91裸聊视频檛.

At the very least, switch to texting. Then, no one 91裸聊视频� at all, ever 91裸聊视频� has to know (wink, wink).

Technology has made amazing advances and one of many highlights 91裸聊视频� although some may poo-poo the notion 91裸聊视频� is our increasing ability to keep in touch. Really, there91裸聊视频檚 next to no excuse for losing track of someone, or not responding in some way.

But there are a few things that really don91裸聊视频檛 need to come along for the 91裸聊视频榮taying connected91裸聊视频� ride, and if you ask me 91裸聊视频� or even if you don91裸聊视频檛 91裸聊视频� talking while tinkling or taking care of other, ahem, 91裸聊视频榖usiness91裸聊视频� absolutely fits that definition.

I will acknowledge that there are much worse sounds to hear in a public washroom. But, ideally, that91裸聊视频檚 about the only place they91裸聊视频檒l ever be heard, particularly when you91裸聊视频檙e not the one responsible for them.

Despite the impression social media gives, not all experiences need to be shared. But will abstaining from this particular practice be a movement others can get on board with?

Please, some relief91裸聊视频�
