cell phones and the bathroom

Yesterday, my coworker went into the bathroom and found one of the executives in one of the stalls talking "business." My coworker was so shocked and angry that he almost banged on the wall to ask him to stop. This morning he was posting his experience on one of our mailing lists and got some suggestions as to what he could have done:


  • One person's solution is to make stickers:
    HANG UP AND SHIT!

  • Why not throw in a Star Trek reference for geek-factor:
    "GO BOLDY! (But turn off your communicator!)"

  • There should be a logo with a dude sitting on the can, on the phone surrounded by a red circle with a cross through it.

  • You say as loud as you possibly can, "who does number two work for?!!"

  • lean over and say, " you ever notice how some food just looks The same no matter what....?"

In the spirit of public protest, we made a sign and posted them in the men and women's bathrooms:

I don't get why people would do this - how does one explain noises in these situations anyway?
