At work, a guy was talking on his phone, meanwhile others are pissing, farting, toilets flushing, etc. I personally would rather not talk to someone while they are taking a shit.

The shit house is what some people at work refer to as their phone booth!

We have big shithouses, 8 pissboys and probably 20 stalls are common. There was one guy that would bring a coffee and donut into a stall every day. He would set the donut on the floor on paper towel. You would see his hand pick up the donut take a bite and set it back done. Most people would think WTF is wrong with this person! Our shit houses are nasty. Everyday there would be one stall with caution tape over the stall door opening, the shitter would be splattered with shit along with the plumbing and the block wall behind the shitter.

I worked for a phone company years ago and the number one request for installing new phone jacks was in the bathroom.
I don't even take my phone in the bathroom with me. Jesus, there has to be some place a man can get a little privacy! She won't come in the bathroom when she knows I'm taking care of business in there but that doesn't have anything to do with privacy, rather the noxious, corrosive fumes that'll take the curl right out of her hair...

At home, sure…..
At work alone on 3rd shift, sure

God forbid out in a public restroom is a last resort
Hell no

I don't take a phone into the bathroom.
I am not tied to my phone at all.
I sometimes leave it at home when going to work.
I have left it at work.
It gets left in the car, sometimes for days.
I never go online with my phone.
I use it to make phone calls and occasionally text.
Besides, my usual bathroom duties are in/out 90 sec or less.
When I gotta go, I go. I don't sit around waiting for something to happen.
The toilet is my least favorite place to sit, why spend more time than absolutely necessary in that environment.
You know the saying "shit or get off the pot"

Over 3 decades ago, when I built my current home, I wired up for a phone in the Master Bath Toilet room......we called it the "Throne Phone"......it used to hang on the wall right next to the toilet. Just a blank plate there now, as we no longer have a landline.

I didn't use it much at all, but it was handy when you were expecting a call, and you were in the Bathroom......not necessarily taking a crap! Or at night (in bed) when the phone rang, and it was family.......back then, the battery/cordless phones weren't that good.......especially in a large home, where the base was too far away.

I do have several friends (retired of course!) that will call me and discuss their car issues/builds or their construction projects......most of the times that is going to be a 45 minute to an hour phone call. Sometimes, depending on what I am doing at that time, I won't take the call, and call them back later.......but when I am on the phone with them, and I have to take a leak, I will do so (gotta sit like a girl then! LOL) and I don't have to call them back (even more time on the phone!), and keep doing my chores while I'm listening to them.......they do most of the talking......I just suggest solutions, most of the time. The Speaker phone option works best for their calls.......I can still get my shit (pun intended!) done while I'm "listening"!

I'll step outside and piss in the grass. I didn't see the neighbor's daughter one night (16 at the time) she yelled and scared the shit out of me, I looked over and she's doing the same. She married a sailor who I got to meet when he was home on leave. She snapped a pic of all three (her Dad) of us pissing off the deck one night. Sadly they moved over a year ago, I lost two drinking/grilling partners when they moved.
